We're a robotics company. What should our website actually do?+
Get you found by people searching for the problem, and make a technical buyer confident you can solve it. Most deep-tech sites here fail on the first — they're organised around the technology, so they rank for terms only insiders search. We'd restructure around the customer's problem language, then let the technical depth do the convincing once they arrive. Both matter; the ordering is what usually goes wrong.
Does Pittsburgh's geography really affect local SEO?+
More than in most cities. Rivers, bridges and hills mean a two-mile distance can be a twenty-minute drive, so customer catchments are irregular in ways a radius setting handles badly. We'd set your Business Profile service area and neighbourhood pages from actual travel patterns rather than a circle on a map.
My site is old. Rebuild or fix?+
Frequently fix, and we'll audit before recommending. If the content and structure are sound and the problem is speed, mobile layout and missing schema, that's a fraction of the cost of a rebuild and often most of the benefit. If it's on a platform that's genuinely unmaintainable or the structure is working against you, we'll say that instead. Either way you get the reasoning, not just a quote.
Are you actually based in Pittsburgh?+
No — and we say so on the page rather than renting a virtual office address to imply otherwise. Our team is in Hyderabad and Warangal, India, and we work with Pittsburgh businesses remotely: video calls, WhatsApp, and a live preview link you can open at any point during the build. What is genuinely local is the work itself — your Google Business Profile, the Pittsburgh search terms we target, the competitors we benchmark you against, and the schema that tells Google exactly which area you serve.
How do I pay you from PA?+
Wire or ACH, Zelle, credit card through Stripe, PayPal or Wise — invoiced in USD, with a proper invoice for your accountant. Payment is milestone-based: 40% to begin, the remainder as you approve deliverables. There is no retainer and no minimum contract on the build work.
What are your hours compared to Pittsburgh?+
India runs 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead depending on your time zone and the season, which works in your favour more than against it: work happens while you sleep, and you review it in the morning. Calls are scheduled for your evening, which is our morning. Anything urgent gets a WhatsApp reply the same day.
What if the project goes wrong?+
You own the code, the domain, the hosting account and every asset from the first day — not at handover, from the beginning. If you stop working with us, everything is already yours and there is nothing to extract. The price is agreed in writing before work starts. Websites start at $1,049.
