Web design, answered
What the first screen has to do for a Charleston visitor
In Charleston, 34.4% of homes went up before 1980, and a service business that works on those houses has to show that on the first screen. Lithium Marketing builds WordPress sites for Charleston service businesses around finished job photos, the services you sell and a phone number a visitor can tap without scrolling.
The city's median home value is $509,700, and a buyer with a house at that price may be judging whether your work looks like it belongs there. Project photos, a short page for each service and a form that asks two questions do more than a long paragraph about the company.
Search in Charleston
Where a Charleston search should land
“web design charleston” alone draws 880 searches a month, and all the Charleston web design phrases together reach 990 a month. A business owner comparing designers wants to see finished work and a price, which is what a portfolio page and the published number give them.
Facebook, Thumbtack and Yelp all sat in the top ten when we checked “plumber charleston”. Someone who meets a business on a directory and then opens its own site should not have to wonder whether it is the same company, so the name, phone number and service list match, and the site adds the photos a profile cannot hold.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|
| web design charleston | 880 | $12.35 |
| website design charleston | 880 | $12.35 |
| web designer charleston | 110 | $58.01 |

The Charleston market
Housing stock and districts that shape the page plan
The city has 77,417 housing units, and 26.3% of them went up in 2010 or later. A site that covers new construction and older repair work in the same navigation gives both kinds of customer a page before they have to ask.
Charleston covers 115 square miles of land, from the peninsula to Johns Island and the Cainhoy Peninsula. A service-area page for each district gives the reader a reason to keep reading, and a page that names James Island answers the question before the visitor has to ask it.

Trades in Charleston County
What a painter's website needs that a builder's does not
Charleston County has 60 painting contractors and 181 new home builders, two trades that sell from a website in opposite ways. A painter needs rooms and exteriors in photographs and an estimate form that takes a photo, while a builder needs a gallery of finished houses and a page for each plan.
The county's 184 landscaping companies sit between the two: their work is seasonal and visible, so a gallery and a page for each service, from sod to irrigation, carry more weight than a paragraph about the crew.

The build
The Charleston build, from photos to launch
We design the phone screen first and do not open the site to customers until every call button and form passes a test.
1
Begin with the proof
A service list and the districts you cover set the page plan, and finished-job photos give it the proof. The writing starts once those are in hand.
2
Design the thumb path
You see the phone layout before the desktop. The call button and estimate form go where a thumb reaches without a stretch.
3
Test what carries a call
WordPress runs the build. Every form and phone link gets clicked before launch, and GA4 plus call tracking mark where each call began.
4
Open it and show you the controls
Old pages with traffic or links point at their replacements on launch day, and a private Loom recording shows you where to edit text and swap photos.

The same eight parts go into every website build, wherever the business is.
- Sub-2.5-second mobile load
- Mobile-first conversion path
- A clear first screen

Client work
A fence company's site, search and ads, and what they produced
F&W Fence Co. hired Lithium for its website, SEO and Google Ads, and the card records what the combined work produced. Dave Turin, the excavation contractor behind Dozer Dave, explains in the quote beside it why he recommends co-founder DJ Van Zanten.
Fence“I highly recommend Dj Van Zanten if you need any help with your website and your internet marketing.”

The towns a Charleston website should cover
Build a page for each city as you add it, and the three South Carolina neighbors on the list make the obvious start. Savannah and Augusta are Georgia markets with Georgia figures, and the state index links every other South Carolina city.

FAQ
Website questions Charleston owners ask
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What pushes a build past the typical price?
Size, mostly. A company selling one service from one page pays the typical price; a remodeler with a gallery for each room type, plus a page for every district it serves, is a bigger build and gets a fixed quote before anything starts.
Do we keep the site if we stop working with you?
You keep it. The domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install and every page and photo sit in accounts with your name on them, and the login is yours from launch day. Nothing is rented.
What happens to the old addresses after launch?
Old pages with traffic or links are mapped to their replacements, and the redirects go live with the new site. Search Console gets a look around launch so nothing Google already values ends at a missing page.
Who updates the site after it goes live?
The site is yours to edit: wording, photos and finished jobs all change in WordPress without code, and the Loom walkthrough shows where. If editing is not your job, the optional $99 a month plan covers hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes.
What does Lithium need before the first design?
Time for a kickoff call and your sign-off on every page. The photos, service list and district list are the raw material, and nothing goes live until you have read the pages.
