About Us
Established in 1996, Pixel Alchemy is a family owned and operated agency based in Cincinnati, Ohio. We also have a presence in Columbus and Dayton.
We can provide you with design and development at a reasonable cost because we don’t have large downtown offices with great views. We often come in at half the cost of the big agencies without sacrificing quality.
We also don’t have a team of secretaries. When you contact us, you get one of the principals, who average more than 15 years of experience in design and programming.
Whenever possible, we use industry standards because they result in faster development, a more reliable website, and easier maintenance. It also means that you aren’t locked into using us in the future because we’re the only ones who know how the system works. You’ll continue to come back to us because of the quality of our work and our surprisingly low costs.
