The brief

Built for the standard Gibsonia families expect.

Gibsonia runs along the Route 8 corridor through Richland Township — Pine-Richland schools, established North Hills families, and a steady mix of professional offices, trades, and family-owned shops from Bakerstown down toward Hampton. The customers here aren’t hunting 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 stalls on a phone in a Route 8 parking lot doesn’t just underperform; it tells the wrong story about a business its neighbors already trust.

Striking Alchemy builds the full digital presence — site, store, search, ads, logo, and brand identity — for Gibsonia businesses, with strategy and performance under one roof.

Where we work

Serving Gibsonia and the Route 8 North Hills.

We’re based in Cranberry Township, a quick hop over to Gibsonia, and serve Richland Township and the North Hills across Allegheny County. Most local projects mean in-person kickoffs and on-site review sessions when they help.

Proof through local experience

We’re based minutes from Gibsonia and we’ve built across the Pine-Richland North Hills — including Frontline Design + Build, the region’s premier luxury design-build firm. We know exactly who buys along the Route 8 corridor.

Unique to Gibsonia

Unique to Gibsonia

What we account for, because Gibsonia isn’t just “the next exit up Route 8.”

What we account for, because Gibsonia isn’t just “the next exit up Route 8.”

01

The established-market standard

Your site has to read at the same level as the established homes, practices, and storefronts along Route 8. We design with that polish, not a louder template aesthetic.

02

Performance that holds up locally

Your customers search from cars on William Flynn Highway and the sidelines at Pine-Richland games. We tune Core Web Vitals for real local mobile networks — not a developer’s laptop.

03

Local SEO + AI visibility

Most local 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

Pine-Richland families, the Route 8 trades and professional offices, and the Gibsonia–Hampton–Allison Park corridor. 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.

What we do

Three disciplines, one accountable studio.

01

Custom Web Design

Custom Framer sites tuned to your brand, audience, and how Gibsonia customers decide. Strategy before pixels, mobile-first, performance-tuned, SEO-ready at launch.

Journey Signs Travel — a travel business in nearby Cranberry Township. We designed a clean, modern custom site that’s easy to navigate and built to turn browsers into booked inquiries, matched closely to her brand.

02

Ecommerce

Stores built on Squarespace, BigCommerce, or Shopify — chosen by what fits your catalog and fulfillment, not what’s trendy. Conversion-tuned product pages, checkout, and email capture wired in.

Labriola Italian Market — a beloved gourmet Italian market in nearby Wexford. We revitalized their online presence so the site and product experience finally match the quality on the shelves.

03

Website Redesign + Migration

Custom Framer sites tuned to your brand, audience, and how Gibsonia customers decide. Strategy before pixels, mobile-first, performance-tuned, SEO-ready at launch.

Frontline Design + Build — the North Hills’ premier luxury design-build firm, just down the road in Wexford. We redesigned and rebuilt the site for the local luxury remodeling market, so it reads with the same craftsmanship as their work.

Who we build for

Built for the businesses that anchor the Route 8 corridor.

Boutique Retail

Specialty shops and retailers that need an online storefront as considered as the one on the street — product galleries, lookbooks, and ecommerce when you’re ready to sell.

Professional Services

Financial, legal, and consulting practices that win on credibility. Sites engineered to signal institutional trust to the clients and partners you want at the table.

Medical & Dental

Practices that need HIPAA-aware sites, patient-friendly booking, and accessible, fast-loading pages that reassure new patients before they ever call.

Real Estate

Agents, teams, and developers who need listings, lead capture, and a brand that stands out in a competitive local market.

Restaurants & Hospitality

Menus, reservations, and atmosphere that translate to the screen — for the restaurants and venues at the center of the community.

Home Services & Trades

Contractors and home-service pros who need to show up in “near me” searches and turn clicks into booked calls, with local SEO baked in.

Why it matters

Your website is your hardest-working salesperson.

For a local business, the website isn’t a brochure — it’s the first impression, the credibility check, and the lead-capture engine, all at once. Here’s what we build it to do.

Found in local & AI search

Most local buyers start in the Google map pack, in “near me” queries, or now inside ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. We build the Google Business Profile signals, local schema, and content that make you the answer — not the also-ran on page two.

Fast on real local networks

Your customers load your site on phones, in cars, and in waiting rooms — not on a developer’s fibre connection. We engineer Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) for real-world mobile, because a slow site quietly costs you every lead that bounces.

Built to grow with you

Web design is the start. Web development, ecommerce, content management your team can actually use, and a digital strategy that connects SEO, PPC, and email — so the site keeps compounding into leads and revenue long after launch.

How we work

A calm, dated process — first call to launch and beyond.

1

Discovery

We learn your business, your customers, and what a real lead looks like for you.

2

Strategy

Sitemap, messaging, and the conversion paths the site has to serve — agreed before any design.

3

Design

Hi-fi design in Framer, built around your brand and audience. No template tropes.

4

Build

Performance-built and accessible, with on-page SEO and schema wired in at launch.

5

Launch

QA, redirects, analytics, and a careful migration — without losing your rankings.

6

Optimize

Post-launch measurement, testing, and an ongoing partnership that keeps it earning.

What’s included

What you get with Gibsonia web design.

Custom design (no templates)

Every layout drawn for your business, your customers, and how Gibsonia buyers actually decide. Zero stock template tropes.

Mobile-first UX

Designed and built mobile-first because that’s how the North Hills searches — from cars, sidelines, sidewalks.

Copy collaboration

We work through messaging, hierarchy, and proof with you. Real words written for real customers, not lorem ipsum carried to launch.

Framer build

Native Framer development. Your team can edit text and swap images without calling a developer or paying for plugin maintenance.

Technical SEO setup

Titles, metas, headings, schema, sitemap, and indexation handled correctly at launch — not bolted on later as a retainer item.

Core Web Vitals

Pass Google’s performance thresholds on real local LTE — LCP under 2.5s, CLS near zero, image and font budgets enforced.

Accessibility basics

WCAG AA contrast, semantic headings, visible focus states, keyboard navigation. The bar your site has to clear.

Analytics + conversion tracking

GA4, GBP, form events, and call tracking wired in so the leads you generate are actually attributed to channels.

Launch checklist + QA

A dated launch plan: redirects, broken-link sweep, schema validation, cross-device QA, search console submission.

Featured work

A North Hills site that finally reads like the firm behind it.

Frontline Design + Build needed a digital presence that matched the craftsmanship of a high-end design-build firm serving the North Hills. We redesigned the site, the brand, and the lead capture — one consistent voice from the first impression to the inbox.
