Why the site matters here

A Columbus website that matches the houses you work on

In Columbus, 49.8% of homes were built before 1980. Lithium Marketing builds contractor websites that show you know houses of that age, with photos of real repairs and upgrades up front and a call button that stays within a thumb’s reach on a phone.

Only 11.9% of Columbus homes went up in 2010 or later. If older-house repair or remodeling is part of your business, show that work in its own gallery. New construction and outdoor projects can have separate examples, so a homeowner can find work like the job they are planning.

The Columbus market

What Columbus homes are worth, and who lives in them

The median Columbus home is worth $252,900, and across Franklin County the median is $288,400. We place reviews, license details and project photos right beside the quote form, so the proof is in view at the moment someone decides to ask you for a price on a house worth that much.

Fewer than half of Columbus’s occupied homes, 44.1%, are lived in by their owners. If landlords and property managers send you work, give them a page of their own covering tenant access, who receives the invoice and how fast you can schedule a repair.

Trades in Franklin County

What remodelers, builders and plumbers need on screen

Franklin County has 346 residential remodelers, the biggest group on the chart, and 73 new home builders. For those trades we build galleries sorted by project type and a quote form that asks what the customer is planning and when. A landscaper can use the same approach to separate planting jobs from larger outdoor projects.

Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, 240 in the county, need a different first screen: a phone number that stays pinned as the visitor scrolls, the hours you answer and the neighborhoods you cover, all visible before any gallery.

Kickoff to launch

From kickoff call to a live Columbus site

Every stage ends with your sign-off before the next one starts.

1

Kickoff call and page copy

A kickoff call covers your services, your best jobs and the parts of Columbus you want more of; you send photos, and we write every page.

2

Layouts you approve

We design the home page and one service page first, phone view before desktop, and revise them until they read like your business.

3

WordPress build and speed work

The site goes up on WordPress, built to Core Web Vitals targets, with schema, GA4 and call tracking so every call shows where it came from.

4

Redirects and launch checks

Before the switch we map every old URL to its new page; after launch we watch Search Console and send you a private Loom video on editing pages yourself.

What every Lithium website includes

The same eight parts go into every website build, wherever the business is.

FAQ

Columbus website questions, answered

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Will my site fit the typical $5,000 price?

We can confirm the price once we agree on the pages your customers need. A typical build costs $5,000. Bring your existing site and examples of the work you want to feature; if the page list makes this a larger project, we’ll price that scope for you before you decide.

If I leave Lithium, does the site go with me?

You keep the site and its content, along with ownership of the domain, hosting and WordPress install. Another developer can continue the work on the same website. You do not need to commission a replacement because you changed agencies.

How long does a new Columbus website take?

A typical build takes six to nine weeks between kickoff and launch. We agree on the page list and review stages at the start. Sending job photos and consolidated feedback keeps work moving; missing content or changes to the scope can affect the schedule.

Do I have to use Lithium’s hosting?

Hosting is your choice. The optional Lithium plan costs $99/month and includes hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes. You can also arrange your own hosting and maintenance; we discuss that choice as part of the build.

How much of my time does a website build take?

Mostly review time. Your part is a kickoff call, a folder of job photos and feedback on the designs and pages; we write every page and handle the build, so the rest of your time stays on jobs.
