Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Ben.

Ben McGinnis, founder of MCG

That is me. Not a ticket queue — the founder, on your account, from kickoff through year five. We build the site, get it found, and put paid attention behind it, then keep all three running so you never have to think about any of it. When a project needs real software underneath, we build that too.

Where we work: 401 Market St., Suite 502, Steubenville, OH. The lit window is ours.

Why MCG

Why choose MCG?

  • A real office and a real team

    Started by an Ohio State grad in Columbus, McGinnis Creative Group is headquartered at 401 Market St. in Steubenville, with a real team and real accountability.

  • Senior specialists, never outsourced

    Professional project management and dedicated specialists. Every site is designed, built and supported by our own team in the United States. Nothing goes offshore.

  • Unlimited updates, 24/7 support

    Your business changes, and your website should too. A new page, a new photo, a new offer: send it over. Changes come back in 12 hours on average, and nobody bills you per request.

  • Every detail checked on a phone

    Every page, form and keyword gets tested on a phone before launch, because that is where your customers find you.

The upgrade

Your old site is costing you the job.

Slow load times, broken layouts on mobile, a contact form nobody trusts — customers bounce before they ever call. Here’s what changes when MCG takes over.

A dated, cluttered website on a desktop monitor
Before

The site you’re embarrassed to send people to

  • Slow to load, worse on mobile
  • Outdated design that undersells the work
  • Nobody at the wheel — updates take weeks
  • Invisible in local Google & AI search results
A modern MCG-built website on a laptop and phone
After MCG

A site that works as hard as you do

  • Loads in under 2 seconds, every device
  • Built to convert visitors into calls and leads
  • Unlimited updates, 12-hour average turnaround
  • Optimized for Google and AI search visibility

Where we work

Serving Greater Pittsburgh — and every market across the tri-state area.

We work with businesses that have real work to do — contractors, clinics, real estate teams, and local brands across Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. No matter where you are in the tri-state area, you get the same direct communication, fast turnaround, and work that holds up.

How we build

Most agencies won’t tell you how they decide.

We publish the reasoning — what we use, what we refuse, and the tool we used for years before the evidence changed our minds. If you want to know whether we know what we are doing, read it rather than take our word for it.

Start here

Build What Makes You Different. Buy Everything Else.

  • The only question worth asking about a tool is whether it lets the job get done properly for this client — not whether it is popular, and not whether it is the one the agency already knows.
  • Two common failures, same shape: the shop that uses one platform for everything because it is all they have, and the shop that writes everything from scratch and becomes the only people who understand it. Both choose for the vendor's convenience.
