The Sewickley brief
Built for the standard Sewickley already sets.
Sewickley’s tree-lined streets, walkable Beaver Street businesses, and mix of historic homes and modern practices give the village a clear character. Customers here aren’t looking for the cheapest option — they’re looking for the right one, and your website has three seconds to communicate that before it has to convert.
A generic template that loads slowly in the Sewickley Hospital parking lot doesn’t just underperform; it tells the wrong story about a business the rest of the village already trusts.
Striking Alchemy builds the full digital presence — site, store, search, ads, and brand — for Sewickley businesses, with strategy and performance under one roof.
Beaver Street · Quaker Valley
Unique to Sewickley
What we account for — because Sewickley isn’t just “the Pittsburgh suburbs.”
01
The Beaver Street standard
Your site has to read at the same level as your storefront, your menu, your lobby. We design with Sewickley’s restraint — not a louder template aesthetic.
02
Performance that holds up locally
Sewickley customers search from cars on Ohio River Boulevard and waiting rooms on Broad Street. We tune Core Web Vitals for real local mobile networks — not a developer’s laptop.
03
Local SEO + AI visibility
Most Sewickley search moves through the Google local pack, “near me” queries, and AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. We build the schema, GBP, and content signals that make you the answer.
04
Built for the audience you serve
Village locals, Edgeworth and Sewickley Heights estate buyers, and the broader Quaker Valley. We design the structure and conversion paths around that exact mix.
05
A calm, well-managed process
Clear scope, predictable timelines, on-time milestones — the professionalism the rest of your business runs on, applied to the digital side.

FAQ
The questions a Sewickley business owner actually asks.
Direct answers. If something here is still unclear, ask it on the strategy call — we’ll give you a straight answer there too.
How much does this cost for a Sewickley business?
Most Sewickley projects land between $12k and $48k for a full custom Framer build, with the typical mid-range commitment around $18k–$28k. Ecommerce sites with full PDP and checkout work run higher; redesigns of an existing, well-structured site run lower. SEO and PPC are scoped separately, usually as monthly retainers in the $1.5k–$6k range. We’ll quote a fixed number once we’ve seen the scope.
Do you work with the kind of business I run on Beaver Street?
Most likely yes. We work with boutique retail, professional service practices (financial, legal, medical, dental), restaurants and hospitality, wellness and fitness, real estate professionals, and home-service trades serving Sewickley, Edgeworth, and Sewickley Heights. If your business isn’t a fit, we’ll say so on the call and point you to someone who is.
How long does a project take?
Typical end-to-end is 8–14 weeks. A focused redesign can ship in 6–8. A full ecommerce build or a complex migration runs 12–16. You get a dated milestone schedule at kickoff — and we’ve hit launch on every project we’ve scoped.
Can you migrate my WordPress site to Framer without losing rankings?
Yes — this is the work we’re #1 nationally for. A real migration is more than redesigning pages; it’s a redirect map, a content audit, schema parity, and a careful staged cutover so search equity carries over. Done right, traffic dips for a week or two and recovers above where it was.
Do you offer SEO, PPC, and ongoing support after launch?
Yes. Most clients move into a monthly retainer covering some mix of SEO/GEO, PPC, content, CRO, and ongoing site evolution. You’re not handed off — the same two people who shipped the site keep working on it.
