Pittsburgh Web Design Built for Business Growth.

Is your website, brand, or SEO holding back your Pittsburgh business?

Pittsburgh Web Design Built for Business Growth.

Pittsburgh is home to a thriving economy spanning healthcare, technology, education, and a growing creative sector, and small businesses here compete for the same customers online that large companies target. If your website isn't showing up or isn't making a strong impression, you're losing those customers every day. We build custom websites with SEO, e-commerce, and paid ads built in, so Pittsburgh businesses get found and win the business.

Client Stories

Surge River is a fantastic firm. With decades of experience working with web design companies of all sizes, I can confidently say that Mike brought professionalism, expertise, and real peace of mind to the entire process. I tasked him with several UX challenges, and he delivered thoughtful solutions that only elevated our site. The finished website for our short-term rental business exceeded anything I had imagined and clearly differentiates us in the market. I highly recommend!

Mary B.

President + CEO

We were looking for help updating our website. Surge River supplied us with a transparent proposal with clear pricing and timeframe. Throughout the process, Mike provided helpful tutorials over the changes in order to have a smooth transition afterwards. We are extremely happy with the results and would recommend Surge River to anyone needing website development.

Edward C.

Director of Business Development

I recently had Mike redesign my business website and rebrand my entire business identity, and I am blown away by the results. From the new logo to the overall look and feel of the site, he absolutely nailed what I was going for. The new branding feels cohesive, modern, and really captures the essence of my business in a way I never could have pulled off on my own. The website is clean, easy to navigate, and looks incredibly professional. It's one of those transformations where you almost can't believe it's the same business. Mike took the time to actually understand my vision and ran with it. The whole process felt collaborative and stress-free, which made a huge difference. If you're thinking about refreshing your brand or rebuilding your site, I can't recommend Mike enough. The results speak for themselves!

Sahil P.

Founder & Owner

Surge River and Mike did a great job crafting a site that perfectly fits our brand, and because of that I've received countless compliments from clients and peers. I highly recommend him for his expansive web services, and look forward to referring him when the opportunity arises.

Jason N.

Business Owner

Our site finally feels intentional and performs the way it should. Everything was built with purpose, from design to functionality. We’ve seen better engagement and clearer messaging since launch, and we have Mike to thank for that. His expertise and way he handled our work from start to finish was very professional, we would love to work with him again in the future.
