The 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, logo, and brand identity — for Sewickley businesses, with strategy and performance under one roof.

Unique to Sewickley

Unique to Sewickley

What we account for, because Sewickley isn’t just “the Pittsburgh suburbs.”

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.

What we do

Three disciplines, one accountable studio.

01

Custom Web Design

We design Framer sites for the Quaker Valley that read with restraint, built around your brand and how a discerning Sewickley client decides who to trust.

Briar Cliff Financial Services — a commercial mortgage lender at 404 Thorn Street in Sewickley village. We built a site that signals institutional credibility to the developers and capital partners they want at the table.

02

Ecommerce

For the shops and brands that sell beyond the village, we build stores on Shopify, BigCommerce, or Squarespace, matched to your catalog and how your customers buy.

Warrior Alpaca Socks — a multi-brand alpaca 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

When a Sewickley business has outgrown its site, we rebuild on Framer and carry your search equity across intact, no rankings lost in the move.

RealX Ventures Inc. — a renewable energy SaaS startup connecting landowners with energy investors. We rebranded and rebuilt the site so it could carry the weight of an investor pitch, driving a +141% user increase and +216% organic traffic growth.

Who we build for

Built for the businesses that make Sewickley, Sewickley.

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 Sewickley web design.

Custom design (no templates)

No template, no theme starter, every screen designed specifically for your business.

Mobile-first UX

Mobile leads the design, because the village searches from sidewalks and cars, not desktops.

Copy collaboration

Messaging worked out together, so the page sounds like your practice, not filler.

Framer build

A native Framer build your team updates in-house, no dev ticket to change a line.

Technical SEO setup

Technical SEO handled up front: structured data, metadata, sitemap, and correct indexation.

Core Web Vitals

Performance budgeted to clear Google Core Web Vitals on everyday connections.

Accessibility basics

Built to WCAG AA: contrast, semantic headings, keyboard paths, and visible focus.

Analytics + conversion tracking

Conversion tracking in place, GA4, GBP, forms, and calls, so attribution stays clear.

Launch checklist + QA

Launch managed end to end: redirects, QA, schema checks, and a clean search-console handoff.

Featured work

A Sewickley site that finally reads like the firm behind it.

Briar Cliff Financial Services needed a digital presence that matched the institutional weight of a commercial mortgage practice at 404 Thorn Street. We rebuilt the site, the brand, and the lead capture — one consistent voice from the storefront to the inbox.
