Pittsburgh Web Design and SEO

Pittsburgh Web Design & SEO

I build websites that look the part and actually get found: clean design, real SEO, and the structure modern and AI search reward.

New sites, rebuilds, SEO cleanup, and local visibility for businesses in Pittsburgh and across the country.

01 What I do

Web design and SEO, built together.

I design and build websites for businesses that need to look credible and get found. The design is clean and made to convert. The SEO is built in from the first page, not bolted on after.

I also do the AI-search work most designers skip: structured data, clear content, and the technical foundation that gets a business surfaced and cited in Google's AI answers, ChatGPT, and the tools more customers now use to find services.

Design

Clean and converting

Sites built to look credible and move a visitor toward calling, booking, or buying.

SEO

Found, not buried

Page structure, titles, schema, image SEO, and internal linking built in from the start.

AI Search

Built to be cited

Structured data and clear content so AI search engines surface your business, not just your competitors.

02 Recent work

Sites I have designed and built.

Restaurants, breweries, clinics, dry cleaners, and accessory shops. A few recent builds.

03 Included

What a web project covers.

Design and SEO move together. A typical build includes:

Custom Design A site designed around your business and customer, not a stock template left on default.
SEO Foundation Page structure, titles, meta, schema, and internal linking built in from the first page.
AI Search Ready Structured data and clear content so AI answers can read, surface, and cite your business.
Mobile First Designed for phones first, since that is where most of your traffic actually is.
Image Optimization Photography sized, named, and tagged for speed and search, not slapped in at full resolution.
Local Visibility Google Business Profile, map rankings, and local landing pages tied into the same plan.

04 Process

How a web project runs.

Four stages, plain language, no jargon wall.

01

We Talk

I learn the business, the customer, and what the site needs to do. Calls, bookings, sales: name the goal.

02

I Dig In

I audit what you have or research the market, find the gaps, and map what the site and SEO need to win.

03

I Show You What I Found

You see the plan and the direction before I build, so there are no surprises.

04

I Build and Optimize

I build the site, wire in the SEO, optimize for speed and AI search, and hand off something you can run.

FAQ Common questions

Web design and SEO questions.

What businesses ask before starting a web project.

What platforms do you build on?

+
I build on Squarespace and work inside existing sites on most major platforms. Squarespace gives small businesses a fast, reliable, good-looking site I can fully control with custom code, schema, and SEO. If you are already on something else, I can usually work with it.

Do you do SEO or just design?

+
Both, together. A site that looks great but does not rank is a brochure nobody finds. I build SEO in from the start: page structure, titles, schema, image optimization, internal linking, and the technical foundation Google and AI search read.

What is AI search and why does it matter?

+
More people are finding businesses through AI answers in Google, ChatGPT, and similar tools, not just the classic blue links. Those systems read structured data and clear content. I build sites so they get cited and surfaced in AI results, not buried.

Can you fix my existing site instead of rebuilding?

+
Often, yes. I dig into what you have, find what is dragging it down, and fix the structure, content, speed, and SEO. Sometimes a cleanup beats a rebuild. I will tell you straight which one you need.

Will I be able to update the site myself?

+
Yes. I build on platforms you can manage, and I hand off a site you can run without paying me every time you change a phone number. I am here when you want bigger changes.

Do you handle Google Business Profile and local SEO too?

+
Yes. Local visibility is part of the same job: Google Business Profile, map rankings, local landing pages, and the photography that fills them. It all connects to the website.
