Why local businesses pick us

Every site is built from scratch. No exceptions.

No themes bought off a marketplace, no Wix or Squarespace drag-and-drop, no "starter kit" with your logo dropped in. Your site is designed and hand-coded for your business alone — and priced like a local job, not an agency contract.

One of a kind, always

Written line by line for you. Nothing recycled, nothing another business can buy for $39 and wear like the same suit.

Priced for Main Street

Complete custom websites start at $500 — a fraction of the $3,000–$10,000 agencies quote for the same five pages.

Live in 1–2 weeks

You talk to the person who actually writes the code. No ticket queues, no hand-offs, no six-month project plan.

You own everything

Your domain, your files, your code — 100% yours. Leave any time and I hand over the keys, no hostage situations.

Template & site-builder sites

  • The same layout as thousands of other businesses
  • Bloated with code for features you'll never use
  • Slow load times that quietly cost you Google rankings
  • Locked to a platform — leave and the site stays behind
  • Plugin updates, subscriptions, and surprise breakages
What you get here

Hand-coded, one of a kind

  • A design that exists nowhere else, built around your customers
  • Only the code your site actually needs — nothing else
  • Near-instant load times on ultra-fast edge hosting
  • Plain files you own and can host anywhere, forever
  • Nothing to update, nothing to subscribe to, nothing to break

The same website. A very different bill.

Typical Pittsburgh agencies charge $3,000–$10,000+ for a five-page custom site, then bill hourly for every text change. Here's what that looks like side by side.

Who you'll be working with

Hi, I'm Ostap — and I'll be the one building your site.

Over a decade in the technology industry and a degree in Information Sciences from the University of Pittsburgh. I started OL Website Services to bring enterprise-level work to businesses that were being quoted enterprise-level prices.

No sales team, no project manager relaying messages. You call, I answer. You need a change, I make it. And I write every site by hand — a food truck, a dental practice, and a tree service should not end up wearing the same template.

Questions

Answers before you ask.

How long does it take to build a website?
Most starter websites are finished within 1–2 weeks. Larger projects with eCommerce or custom features usually take 3–4 weeks. You'll see a live preview link throughout, so there are no surprises at launch.
Do you build on WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?
No. Every site I build is hand-coded from scratch — no purchased themes, no page builders, no drag-and-drop platforms. That means your site looks like nobody else's, loads in a fraction of the time, has no plugins to update or break, and carries no monthly platform subscription. It's also plain files you own outright, so you can host them anywhere you like.
Do I own the website after it's built?
Yes — 100%. Your website, content, and domain name are yours. If you ever move to another provider, I hand over every file and asset. No hostage situations, ever.
What's actually included in the $30/month plan?
Ultra-fast edge hosting, SSL certificate, security updates, backups, small content and design changes, and on-demand technical support. The $50 plan adds monthly content updates, new pages, and priority response.
Can you help my website rank on Google?
Every site is SEO-optimized from the ground up: fast load speeds, mobile responsiveness, proper heading structure, meta tags, schema markup, and local SEO with Google Business Profile setup. For local businesses I also build neighborhood landing pages that target nearby searches.
I already have a site — can you fix or redesign it?
Absolutely. Redesigns, speed rescues, and migrations off slow WordPress or page-builder setups are a big part of the work. Send me your URL and you'll get a free honest assessment — including "it's fine, don't spend the money" when that's the answer.
Why are your prices so much lower than big agencies?
Big agencies carry expensive offices, account managers, and sales teams, and charge $3,000–$10,000+ for a custom site. I operate lean and pass those thousands straight to local small businesses — without cutting quality, speed, or SEO.
