The Caylor Group: a Lynchburg firm with a site that finally matches the work.
A clear, fast site for a Lynchburg business, built and maintained by a team ten minutes away.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Teams we work with in Lynchburg and Central Virginia.
Local retailers moving online, ministries and nonprofits, home-services and energy companies, and the professional firms around them.
Local retail and boutiques
Lynchburg and Forest shops that want online sales without a second job.
Churches and nonprofits
Giving, events and merch on a site volunteers can edit.
Trades, energy and services
Lead-generation sites with booking, quotes and reviews that work on a phone.
Professional services
Firms that need credibility, speed and a simple way to be found.
ONE WORKING DAY
Same town, same working day.
Kickoffs and launches happen in person. Everything in between is a Loom, a Slack message or a 20-minute call.
REVIEWS
Reviews in your afternoon
Design and build reviews land on your calendar between 10:00 and 16:00 your time. Nothing waits overnight.
ONE LEAD
One senior point of contact
ON SITE
Coffee in Forest or downtown
We meet in person for kickoff, launch and anything that is easier to show than to say.
CHANNEL
Your Slack or ours
A shared channel, a weekly Loom and a live staging link. No ticket portal.
WHAT TO GET RIGHT
Rules that shape Lynchburg stores in 2026.
What a store selling from Virginia has to handle — and what we set up by default.
Virginia privacy law (VCDPA)
Applies once you process data on 100,000+ Virginians a year or sell data. We set up consent, opt-out links and a compliant privacy policy from day one.
Sales tax, handled by Shopify Tax
Virginia rates, plus economic-nexus collection in other states as you grow. We configure it and check the first filing with you.
Accessibility (ADA Title III)
Contrast, keyboard navigation and alt text are part of every build, not a lawsuit-driven retrofit.
HOW WE WORK
How we work with teams in Lynchburg.
01
Intro call with a senior
30 minutes on your store, your numbers and your deadline. An honest fit check on the call.
02
Free audit, then a fixed price
A Loom walkthrough of the three things we would fix first, followed by a scoped proposal with one price.
03
Build on a duplicate, reviewed in your day
Theme and app work ships to a preview theme. You review in your working hours; nothing goes live without your yes.
04
Launch and handover
Redirects, analytics and backups checked, then a handover your team can run — plus a retainer if you want us to stay.

Why Lynchburg, specifically
Lynchburg is home ground. Our studio is twenty minutes away in Forest, so most Lynchburg clients have met us at their own office, and the work we do here is shaped by what the city actually sells: manufacturing, healthcare suppliers, Liberty University's orbit of small businesses, and a growing downtown of makers and restaurants.
The Lynchburg projects on our site are the most varied we have: The Caylor Group's professional-services site, Amthor International's manufacturer site built for dealers and buyers, Care Hope College's education site, Poplar Forest Nursery's seasonal catalog, and Western Ways' legacy-POS-to-Shopify migration for a work-wear retailer. Each one started with an in-person kickoff, and most launches were done sitting next to the client.
What Lynchburg businesses tend to need is less a storefront than a site that gets found: Google Business Profile, local schema, service-area pages and reviews matter as much as the product catalog. Our SEO work here is grounded in the local search data for the Lynchburg–Forest–Bedford area, not national averages, and the same team that builds the site runs the search work afterwards.
LYNCHBURG
4 questions
Do you actually meet clients in Lynchburg?
Yes. Our HQ is in Forest. Kickoffs, launches and reviews that need a whiteboard happen in person.
Can you help a shop that is not on Shopify yet?
Yes. We build new Shopify stores for local shops and move existing ones from other platforms, keeping products, customers and rankings. If Shopify isn't the right fit, we'll say so on the first call.
What does a local store build cost?
Store builds start at $10,000, fixed price, and smaller sites cost less than a full store. See pricing or estimate yours with the website cost calculator.
Do you work with churches and nonprofits?
Yes. We build sites and stores for churches, ministries and nonprofits that volunteers can run, with giving, events and merch. See nonprofits & churches.
