1Website Design
WordPress Website Design & Development
WordPress is a core part of our website development work.
Pittsburgh SEO Services designs and develops WordPress websites for businesses that need a flexible website built around SEO, usability, content and future growth.
We don’t simply install a theme, replace the demo content and call it a custom website.
The website is planned around the business itself—its services, customers, locations, expertise and marketing goals.
Depending on the project, a WordPress website can include:
Custom page layouts
Service and product pages
Location and service-area pages
Project and case study sections
Owner and expert profiles
Blog and resource centers
Contact and lead-generation forms
Customer reviews and testimonials
Image and project galleries
FAQ sections
Conversion-focused calls to action
Analytics and conversion tracking
SEO optimization
Structured data and schema
WooCommerce functionality
Because Pittsburgh SEO Services also works extensively with search engine optimization, we can consider the website’s SEO foundation while we’re developing it instead of trying to repair the structure after launch.
2Platforms
WordPress, WooCommerce & Shopify
Different businesses need different website platforms.
We primarily focus our current website-development services around WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify.
WordPress
WordPress is a strong option for service businesses, professional companies, contractors, local businesses and organizations that need flexibility for content, SEO and continued website growth.
WooCommerce
For businesses that want ecommerce functionality within WordPress, WooCommerce can provide an integrated way to manage products and online sales while retaining the flexibility of a WordPress website.
Shopify
For businesses focused primarily on ecommerce, Shopify can provide a dedicated platform for products, collections, payments and online store management.
Pittsburgh SEO Services also provides dedicated Shopify website design, development and SEO services, including product optimization, collection architecture, structured data and search optimization.

We can evaluate the project before determining which approach makes the most sense.
3SEO & Development
SEO Shouldn’t Be Added After the Website Is Finished
One of the biggest advantages of working with a company that handles both website development and SEO is that search visibility can be considered before the website launches.
A lot of important SEO decisions happen during development. For example:
Which services deserve dedicated pages?
Which URLs should be preserved from the old website?
How should services be organized?
How should pages link together?
Which geographic markets need website support?
Which searches should individual pages target?
Who should be identified as the expert behind the content?
Where should projects and case studies live?
What structured data accurately represents the business?
These aren’t details we want to discover six months after a new website launches. We consider them while planning and developing the site.
4Built to Be Understood
Built for Customers, Google & AI Search
A modern business website has several audiences.
The most important is the potential customer.
But the website also needs to make information understandable to search engines and increasingly to AI-powered systems that retrieve, summarize and connect information about businesses.
We focus on making important relationships clear. For example:
Pittsburgh SEO Services → Website DesignPittsburgh SEO Services → WordPress DevelopmentPittsburgh SEO Services → Search Engine OptimizationBusiness → FounderBusiness → ServicesBusiness → LocationsBusiness → Completed ProjectsExpert → ExperienceService → Service AreaArticle → AuthorProject → Service → Location
That can be reinforced through site architecture, internal linking, clearly written content, structured data and consistent information throughout the website.
The goal isn’t to create content specifically for an AI bot.
It’s to create a website where important facts and relationships are easy for customers and machines to understand.

More Than 500 Websites Built
Pittsburgh SEO Services has built more than 500 websites during more than two decades of website development and digital marketing work.

Website Development Experience You Can Verify
Anyone can write that they build great websites.
We would rather show what we’ve worked on.
Throughout our website and portfolio, you’ll find examples of businesses we’ve worked with across different industries and markets.
For individual projects, we recommend documenting:
The business
Industry
Website platform
Starting situation
Work performed
SEO considerations
Screenshots

When available, we can also document measurable search improvements separately as SEO case studies.
This gives prospective clients a better understanding of what Pittsburgh SEO Services actually does instead of relying on generic claims about experience.

7Meet Jonathan Crain
Website Development Backed by 25+ Years of Digital Marketing Experience
Pittsburgh SEO Services was founded by Jonathan Crain, whose experience spans website development, SEO and digital marketing.
Over more than 25 years, Jonathan has worked with hundreds of websites and SEO campaigns across different industries.
His experience includes:
- WordPress development
- Website strategy
- Search engine optimization
- Local SEO
- Google Ads
- Content strategy
- Technical SEO
- AI search optimization
That combination is important when developing a website.
A design decision can affect SEO.
A navigation decision can affect how customers find services.
Changing a URL can affect an established page’s search visibility.
A poorly organized website can make internal linking difficult.
And missing information about the company’s people, experience or services can make it harder for customers—and search systems—to understand the business.
Website development at Pittsburgh SEO Services considers those relationships from the beginning.
Learn More About Jonathan Crain →8Trust & Evidence
Starts With the Real Business
Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trust shouldn’t be handled by adding a paragraph that says a company is trustworthy.
A website should demonstrate why.
When developing a business website, we look for real information that can strengthen those signals. That might include:
Who founded the company
Who actually performs the work
How long they’ve been doing it
Relevant education or training
Professional credentials
Licenses
Certifications
Manufacturer relationships
Industry memberships
Real project photographs
Completed projects
Case studies
Customer reviews
Original insights
Accurate contact information
Not every company will have every one of these.
And that’s fine.
We don’t recommend inventing credentials, exaggerating experience or adding claims simply because they sound impressive.
We want the website to document the real expertise and experience already behind the business.
9Legacy Website & CMS Support
Have an Older Website? You Don’t Necessarily Have to Start Over.
Pittsburgh SEO Services has worked with a wide range of website platforms during more than 25 years in website development.
In addition to our current focus on WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify, we have experience with older and legacy website systems.
Depending on the website and what needs to be done, we may be able to assist with existing sites built on platforms such as:
JoomlaDrupalMagentoOpenCartosCommerceZen CartBloggerOther legacy CMS & ecommerce systems
For older websites, we’ll first determine whether it makes more sense to repair, maintain, migrate or rebuild the site.
We don’t recommend keeping a business on an outdated platform simply because we’ve worked with it before.
The recommendation should be based on the website’s current condition, security, functionality, SEO value and the company’s future needs.
