We build systems that grow your business.

Square, Shopify, and Wix builds for hospitality, retail, and B2B teams. Pittsburgh-based. Built to perform.

Commerce architecture built around your results.

We don’t just design websites. We build commerce systems on Square, Shopify, and Wix. They’re fast, built to convert, and made to pay for themselves within 90 days. Every project starts with where your business is losing time (and sales). From there, we shape the platform, structure, copy, and integration plan to fix it. Built for modern search, automation, and machine-assisted buying. U.S.-based project management. Clear outcomes from Day 1.

The Process

Five steps. One system that runs without extra staff.

Every McRales build follows the same Build Method, whether you're launching a Shopify store, a Square-powered restaurant system, or a service business site. No guesswork, no scope creep, and no system that needs a full-time hire to keep running.

01

Discover

We map your goals, your budget, and exactly where your current site or system is costing you sales or staff hours.

02

Architect

We blueprint the platform, structure, and integrations, whether that's on Shopify, Square, or Wix, before a single page gets built.

03

Build

We construct a conversion-ready system on a platform your team can run without a developer on standby.

04

Launch

We test speed, checkout, booking, and CRM flows so the system works correctly from your very first visitor.

05

Optimize

We tune the system using real visitor data, so it keeps earning its keep long after launch.

Built to Pay for Itself

Most builds are structured to pay for themselves within 90 days by replacing the cost of an extra hire, not adding one.
