One Person. No Middlemen.
7th Floor Designs is a one-person studio run by Nicholas Lipinski. Not an agency. Not a team of account managers who disappear after onboarding. Every project is handled directly by the person writing your code.
Based in Moscow PA, serving businesses throughout Scranton, the Lehigh Valley, the Poconos, and all of Northeast Pennsylvania. If you need a website that actually performs, you're talking to the right person.
Technical background means everything gets built from scratch. HTML, CSS, JavaScript — written line by line. Not dragged and dropped in a visual editor. Not assembled from pre-built blocks in WordPress. Your site is built for your business, not reskinned from a $59 theme.
Hand-Coded Means No Bloat
When you hand-code a website, you control exactly what the browser loads. There's no plugin bloat. No render-blocking scripts from 15 different third-party tools. No mystery stylesheets you didn't ask for.
That means faster load times, better Google rankings, and a site that actually works on every device. No 47 WordPress plugins fighting each other. No $200/year theme licenses. No update that breaks your site at 2am.
You own everything. Clean, readable code that any developer can understand. No vendor lock-in. No proprietary page builder that holds your content hostage. If you ever want to take your site somewhere else, you can — because it's yours.
Results That Speak
We built Primal Sounds a 30-page hand-coded website that ranked #1 on Google for 5+ commercial keywords in just 28 days — outranking companies that had been in business for over a decade. 99/99 GTmetrix. Zero templates.
Savage Siren Productions got a dark, bold custom design that scores 99% on GTmetrix — built and deployed on Netlify with zero ongoing costs.
Every client site scores 99-100% on Google PageSpeed. Not because of tricks or caching plugins — because the code is clean from the start.

Hand-coded websites are 3-5x faster because there's zero plugin bloat and no unnecessary code. Google uses page speed as a direct ranking factor — our sites score 99-100% on PageSpeed while most template sites score 30-50. Faster sites rank higher and convert more visitors.
