Every day your site looks outdated, someone Googles your service, sees your competitor's cleaner site, and calls them instead. I build websites for Pittsburgh businesses that stop that from happening. Fast load, clean design, real phone calls.

A customer pulls up your site on their phone. It looks like it hasn't been touched since 2016. They don't think "maybe the service is still good." They think "this business might not even be open anymore." And they hit the back button.
Your website has all this information about your business but no obvious next step. No button. No phone number in their face. So the visitor reads a little, shrugs, and leaves. They were ready to buy. You just didn't ask.
Walls of text. Random fonts. Five different colors that don't go together. The customer can't figure out what you actually do in the first ten seconds, so they bounce. A confused visitor never becomes a customer.
A website that makes people think "this company has their act together" within three seconds of landing on it. That's the difference between a site that sits there and one that books work.
Your phone number, your best testimonial, and a "book now" button placed exactly where someone's thumb lands on a phone screen. Not buried in a footer. Not hiding behind a menu.
Clean layout, real photography, intentional whitespace. Visitors assume you're the established, premium option in your market. That perception alone wins jobs before you even pick up the phone.
Over 60% of your visitors are on their phone. If your site makes them pinch-zoom or squint, they're gone. Every Summit site is built for the screen your customers are actually using.
Slow sites lose visitors and rank lower on Google. Your Summit site loads in under two seconds. Fast enough that people stick around, and Google notices.
Three steps. About two weeks. You talk, I build, your phone starts ringing more.
We hop on a 15-minute call. You tell me about your business, who your customers are, and what's not working with your current site. That's it. No homework.
I design and code your site from scratch. No templates, no WordPress themes. Custom layout, your branding, SEO built into the bones. You see drafts as I go.
Your site goes live. Customers can actually find you on Google, figure out what you do in five seconds, and contact you without hunting for a phone number. That's the whole point.
Drag the handle to compare the old layout with the redesigned hero — full width, matched framing.
E-commerce stores, service businesses, product brands. Every project is custom-built from scratch to match the business it represents. No templates, no shortcuts.
Browse the full portfolioMost agencies quote you $5,000 to $15,000 and then hand your project to a junior designer you'll never talk to. I charge a fraction of that. I'm the only person who touches your site. You talk directly to the person writing the code. No project managers. No game of telephone. Affordable web design in Pittsburgh, without the agency markup.
See what Summit buildsIf the first draft doesn't feel like “that's my business on a good day,” we keep pushing — without nickel-and-diming you. Straight talk, clean files, and a site you can hand to anyone with confidence.
One person, no agency, no middlemen. I'm Liam Bucklen, a freelance web designer in Pittsburgh who got tired of watching good businesses lose customers to bad websites. Now I fix that.
