The brief
Built for a city that runs on more than game days.
Morgantown is a WVU town — High Street on a Friday night, Mountaineer game days, a student population that swells and empties with the semester. But it’s also WVU Medicine, a downtown of independent shops, the working businesses out toward Sabraton and Westover, and the families settling around Cheat Lake and Suncrest. The businesses that win here speak to all of it, and your website has three seconds to prove you belong before it has to convert.
A generic template that stalls on a phone in the Mountaineer Mall 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 Morgantown businesses, with strategy and performance under one roof.
Where we work
Serving Morgantown and Monongalia County.
We’re a Pittsburgh-region studio, a straight 75-minute run south down I-79 — and we already build for Morgantown. Close enough for on-site when a project needs it, remote-first when it doesn’t.

Proof through local experience
We built JB Recycling’s site right here in Morgantown — now top-5 on Google for the local terms that matter — and Summit Tennis Academy’s. Two Morgantown businesses, two very different markets, one studio that already knows how to win here.
01
The two-Morgantown standard
There’s the WVU Morgantown and the working Morgantown — and your customers might be in either. We design for the audience you actually serve, not a generic template’s idea of a college town.
02
Performance that holds up locally
Your customers search from cars on the Mileground and phones on game day. 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
WVU students and faculty, WVU Medicine professionals, downtown shops, and the trades and families across Monongalia County. We design the structure and conversion paths around that exact mix.
05
A studio that already builds here
We don’t have to learn Morgantown — JB Recycling and Summit Tennis Academy are already ours. We know the market, and we’re a quick run down I-79 when a project calls for in-person.
What we do
Three disciplines, one accountable studio.
01
Custom Web Design
Custom Framer sites tuned to your brand, audience, and how Morgantown customers decide. Strategy before pixels, mobile-first, performance-tuned, SEO-ready at launch.
Summit Tennis Academy — a Morgantown tennis academy that needed a site as sharp as its programs. We built a clean, custom Framer site that makes it easy to explore programs and sign up, giving the academy real credibility the moment a parent lands on the page.
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.
Warrior Alpaca Socks — a multi-brand apparel retailer on BigCommerce. We rebuilt the PDP/checkout stack and Klaviyo flows to turn a seasonal traffic curve into year-round revenue.
03
Website Redesign + Migration
Custom Framer sites tuned to your brand, audience, and how Morgantown customers decide. Strategy before pixels, mobile-first, performance-tuned, SEO-ready at launch.
RealX Ventures — a renewable-energy SaaS startup. We rebranded and rebuilt the site so it could carry an investor pitch, driving a +141% user increase and +216% organic traffic growth.
Who we build for
Built for Morgantown’s shops, practices, and working businesses.
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.
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 Morgantown web design.
Custom design (no templates)
Every layout drawn for your business, your customers, and how Morgantown buyers actually decide. Zero stock template tropes.
Mobile-first UX
Designed and built mobile-first because that’s how Morgantown searches — from cars, campus, the Mileground.
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 Morgantown scrapyard that now outranks a decade of competition.
JB Recycling had a DIY site and almost no visibility against competitors with years of SEO head starts. We built them a custom Framer site with a live daily pricing ticker and a local-SEO foundation — and within four months they hit the top 5 for Morgantown’s highest-value scrap and salvage terms, plus #1 for their own name.
Proof
The kind of work Morgantown businesses already trust us with.
Recent builds from the studio. Every one shipped on Framer, performance-tuned, and handed over for the team to maintain.
