What the site has to do

A Birmingham website built for older houses

The median home in Birmingham was built in 1965, so a website that sells repair and remodel work has to look like the crew has been inside a house that old. Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites for Birmingham service businesses around that: finished jobs up front, a short note on what changed, and a call button within reach on a phone.

The site also has to leave you in control. Lithium builds on WordPress and hands over the domain, the hosting account, the install and the content, with a walkthrough so your team can change a price or add a job without calling a developer.

The Birmingham market

What a Birmingham buyer weighs before a call

The median home value in Birmingham is $158,800, and 45.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. A site for a house at that value should show finished projects and reviews before it asks for a call.

Jefferson County’s median home value is $240,000, and a slice of Birmingham lies in Shelby County. Work on houses at that level deserves photos tagged with the town, so a buyer can see the crew has worked on their street.

Trades in Jefferson County

Remodelers, landscapers and the pages they need

Jefferson County holds 179 landscaping services and 158 residential remodelers. Both trades sell work a customer can judge from photos, so the site should open with finished projects, a short description of the work and the part of Birmingham where each job sits.

The county also has 141 electrical contractors. An electrician can put the service, the area and a call button first, then keep project photos further down the page.

The build

From your job photos to a live Birmingham site

You approve the pages and the phone layout before anything goes live, and the site stays in your name.

1

Show us the jobs you finished

Pick the projects that look like the work you want next, and send the photos with the service list and the towns you cover.

2

Draw the phone screen first

The mobile layout gets the call button, the service list and a few finished jobs before the desktop version is drawn.

3

Test the forms and the tracking

Every form, phone link and conversion tag is checked on a real phone before launch.

4

Put the accounts in your name

Domain, hosting, WordPress and content move into accounts you control, and a short walkthrough shows your team how to edit a page.

Larger sites get a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call. Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch. You own the domain, hosting account, WordPress install and content.

FAQ

Before the first Birmingham design review

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].

Do we own the website when it is finished?

You do, along with the domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install and the content. Everything sits in accounts with your name on it, so a change of agency does not take the site with it.

Can our team edit pages after launch?

WordPress puts the edits in your hands. Changing a price, swapping a photograph or publishing a finished job takes no code, and the handover walks your team through the pages they will touch. If nobody wants that job, the optional $99 a month plan covers secure hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes.

How much does a Birmingham website cost?

Typically $5,000 for a service business site, covering design, build and launch. Larger sites get a fixed proposal after a discovery call, so the number is settled before any work starts.

What should we send before the first design call?

The photos matter most. Send a dozen finished jobs, the service list, the towns you cover and time for the kickoff. Lithium writes the copy from those and a conversation with you, and you approve every page before launch.

Will a new website keep our search rankings?

A rebuild moves every page, so plan the move: redirect each old address, then test the links at launch. Positions may move afterward, and the redirects carry the visitors who arrive on an address Google already indexed.
