The brief

Built for the standard Wexford already expects.

Wexford’s Route 19 corridor, top-rated Pine-Richland and North Allegheny schools, and steady mix of professional offices and family-owned retail give the North Hills a confident, established character. 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 the Pine Center 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 Wexford businesses, with strategy and performance under one roof.

Where we work

Serving Wexford and the North Hills.

We’re based in Cranberry Township, about ten minutes up Route 19 from Wexford, and serve Wexford and the North Hills across Allegheny County. Most Wexford-area projects mean in-person kickoffs and on-site review sessions when they help.

What we account for, because Wexford isn’t just “a Route 19 zip code.”

What we account for, because Wexford isn’t just “a Route 19 zip code.”

01

The North Hills standard

Your site has to read at the same level as your showroom, your office, your reputation. We design with the polish Wexford clients expect, not a louder template aesthetic.

02

Performance that holds up locally

Wexford customers search from cars on Route 19 and waiting rooms off Wexford-Bayne Road. We tune Core Web Vitals for real local mobile networks — not a developer’s laptop.

03

Local SEO + AI visibility

Most Wexford 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 and North Allegheny families, Treesdale professionals, and the broader North Hills market. 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 Wexford 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 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 Wexford customers decide. Strategy before pixels, mobile-first, performance-tuned, SEO-ready at launch.

Frontline Design + Build — Pittsburgh’s premier luxury design-build firm, based 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 make Wexford, Wexford.

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 Wexford web design.

Custom design (no templates)

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

Mobile-first UX

Designed and built mobile-first because that’s how Wexford searches — from cars, waiting rooms, 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 Wexford 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 Wexford 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 in Wexford. We redesigned the site, the brand, and the lead capture — one consistent voice from the first impression to the inbox.
