Hi, I’m Jen Lyker!
WordPress website designer & developer
For over 20 years, I’ve simplified the website strategy process for hundreds of clients. I’ve mastered blending creative and techie with sensible and systematic to become a recognized & reliable website expert among Pittsburgh web design companies.
My network is strong and I’ve built partnerships with other professional service providers in copywriting, search visibility, branding, and marketing. This allows me to offer comprehensive, expert-driven services beyond just the WordPress website design and build-out. Your website will fit your vision, work for you and not against you, and help get you back to the work you love.
What you can expect from me
WordPress Web Designer, Developer, & Consultant

Reliability & Responsiveness
I know these traits seem to be disappearing in the web world. I’ve got the long-term clients to prove that a website partnership can be a lasting and trusted relationship.

No Overselling
I work for my clients, not for the bottom dollar. That means I’ll sell you only what you need, even if it’s a one-on-one consultation and not a whole web package.

Design-minded Website Development
Constantly learning and evolving, I gain knowledge and experience from every client and enjoy finding the best design and structure of a website solution to fit your needs.

Listening, Clarity, & Support
The website world can be a confusing place, so ask your questions! You can rely on me to be transparent about everything from my process, to the project budget, to which hosting companies you should avoid.

Get to know the woman behind the web design
I’ve always been a creator: drawing, pottery and diving headfirst into home decor and design projects. And computers have always fascinated me. I’m obsessed with how much technology can breathe life and profit into a business. I love nothing more than to tackle a tech challenge or help a client blend their website copy with their brand visuals to create a kick-ass website.

My go-to Starbucks order: Brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso

I live in Pittsburgh, PA, with three amazing & talented kids and my husband of over 20 years. I love chocolate, coffee, procrastinating on washing dishes and folding laundry, playing XBox & board games with my kids. I’ve been a life-long Swiftie since 2006 and I love binge-watching (& re-watching) my favorite shows. I have a disturbing level of Gilmore Girls knowledge.
Still have questions about my website design services?
What’s the difference between a website designer and a website developer?
Designers focus on in the creative, visual parts of a website: colors, fonts, layout, photos. Developers handle the code and technical pieces: building the pages, testing for mobile responsiveness, installing plugins and other functionality.
Do I need both a web designer & a developer?
A lot of service providers focus on either design or development for websites, so in that case you would need to hire two people. But I do design and development, which means you get two website experts in one!
What kinds of clients do you work with?
I work with clients across all kinds of industries and variety of sizes. I’ve built websites for solopreneurs who are just starting out, and I’ve also partnered with marketing teams inside larger companies who needed someone to do the heavy lifting on the website. You can see more of the types of businesses and organizations I’ve worked with my in portfolio!
Do you only work with website clients in Pittsburgh?
Not at all! I do love working with fellow business owners here in the ‘Burgh, but I’ve partnered with clients all over the world.
Do you build e-commerce websites or online shops?
Yes! I have website packages available for digital products, physical products that involve shipping costs, and membership websites. If you’ve got something you need to sell directly through your website, I can help you make that happen. Read more about my e-commerce website options here.
Do you offer payment plans for your website packages?
Yes! My typical payment terms are 50% deposit to book the project and hold the spot, then the rest is due when we launch the site. But I offer other payment options depending on the budget, project timeline, or client need. We can discuss your situation and come up with a plan that works for both of us.
Are there any hidden costs for my website?
My listed prices are what you will pay to me. But you’ll also want to consider additional costs for your website: hosting, domain registration, stock images, font licenses, and premium WordPress plugins are all separate from any web design package. I can help you find the right fit for all of those so you know exactly what you need to purchase.
Can you design a logo for me too?
Designing logos isn’t something I do, but I’ve got a few fabulous brand designers in my network who can help you create something amazing.
Can you help with a website on another platform besides WordPress?
Unfortunately no, I work strictly with WordPress these days. But if you need help with a different platform, please reach out and I can connect you with someone in my network who knows your platform!
Will you teach me to use my website?
Yes! I’ve got some great evergreen resources and videos, and I can also record a video specifically for any unique functionality on your website. The drag-and-drop tools I use are very user-friendly and don’t require coding skills. You’ll be able to edit text, update photos, and even add new pages to your website anytime you need to!
When can we get started on my website?
I’m typically booking start dates a month or two in advance, but during that ‘waiting period’ is when you’ll be working on your website content. We’ll have our strategy call right away, then pick your project start date based on how long you’ll need to write your content and gather other materials I’ll need. Contact me now and we’ll get started with the process!
