Web Design · Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh web design for health-system vendors, research teams, and neighborhood trades.

UPMC employs 48,000 people, the labs build robots, and customers think in neighborhoods divided by three rivers. One design rarely fits all three.

Pittsburgh's largest employer is UPMC, with 48,000 people, and hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices account for about 10% of regional jobs. The vendors, contractors, and service firms that sell into that system are referred, then checked online. A website designed for a health-system buyer leads with compliance and certification details, the facility types served, response times, and a capability statement that can be forwarded. It reads like a careful professional wrote it, because a careful professional is reading it.

The research economy wants something else. Robotics, software, and cyber-defense work around the universities produce spinouts whose sites must explain a technical product clearly to investors and early customers — plain language, real diagrams, no fog. Then there are the neighborhoods: hills, rivers, and 446 bridges mean a customer in the South Hills may never consider a business across the Monongahela. Trades and shops need sites that name the neighborhoods they actually serve and put booking on the first screen.

Every site is hand-coded and priced by page count — up to 10 pages for $1,500, 11–20 for $2,250, 21–50 for $3,750 — with content writing, SEO, lead capture, online booking, and a year of support included. Prices are on the pricing page. Most builds go live in 7–10 days, and an older site that only needs fixing may be better served by a flat-priced repair from $149.

Businesses online

No one publishes a count of Pittsburgh businesses with websites. The best figure is national: in Clutch's 2025 survey, 83% of US small businesses said they had a website — so roughly one in six still does not.

Web Design in Pittsburgh: questions we hear.

We sell into hospitals. What should our site emphasize?

Compliance, credentials, response times, and the facility types you serve, stated precisely. Health-system buyers often find vendors through referral and use the website to confirm what they were told.

We're a technical startup. How technical should the site be?

Technical enough to be credible, plain enough that a non-specialist investor understands the problem you solve. Detailed specifications can live a click deeper.

Should our trade business list every neighborhood?

Only the ones you genuinely serve, each with something true to say. A long list of copy-paste neighborhood pages is a spam pattern search engines ignore or penalize.
