A site built for the call
What a Wilmington website has to show
A Wilmington contractor's website has one job on a phone: show the work and make the call easy. Lithium Marketing builds that site on WordPress, and the business keeps it, from the domain to the content, so a rebuild later does not mean starting over in someone else's account.
The median home in Wilmington is valued at $383,800, and a website for work at that level has to show finished repair work as clearly as a new installation. Photos from real jobs and a call button within thumb reach are the two things a phone visitor sees first.
Search in Wilmington
The search that ends on your website
The “web design wilmington nc” search runs about 210 times a month, and a paid click on it averages $14.69. A page that shows finished work and explains who owns the site is what separates one designer from the next.
The customers you want are searching for the work itself. “Roofing company wilmington nc” draws 1,000 searches a month, and any one of those searches can land on a site where the phone number is buried. A fast first screen and a tap-to-call button decide whether that visitor stays.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|
| web design wilmington nc | 210 | $14.69 |
| website design wilmington nc | 210 | $14.69 |

The Wilmington market
What the housing stock asks of a website
The median home in Wilmington dates to 1989, while 17.5% of the housing went up in 2010 or later. A site that only shows new construction misses the repair and remodel work older homes need, so mix finished repairs with installation projects and label both.
Wilmington has a large historic district encompassing nearly 300 blocks, and a project on those streets deserves photos and a page of its own. A gallery sorted by neighborhood helps the next owner see if you have worked on a house like theirs.

Trades in New Hanover County
Builders, remodelers and the pages they need
New Hanover County's 188 new home builders and 120 residential remodelers sell two different kinds of project. A builder needs a process page and a gallery of finished homes; a remodeler needs before-and-after photos and a scope list.
The county lists 38 painting contractors. A painter's site should show surfaces, prep and the finished room, not a stock photo of a brush; the same rule applies to any trade whose work is judged by the finish.

The build
The route from old site to launch
You sign off at four points, and the site does not go live until a phone and a form have each passed a live test.
1
Audit what the old site does
We look at the pages that already bring calls, the ones nobody visits and what a phone visitor cannot find on the first screen.
2
Agree the page list
Your services and service area set the pages, so the site covers the work you want without a page for every town you have ever served.
3
Write and photograph the work
You send photos from finished jobs; we write each page around the work, the scope and the questions buyers ask before they call.
4
Ship the build with a walkthrough
WordPress build, redirects, GA4 and call tracking, form and phone tests, then a Loom recording of your admin screens.
What every Lithium website includes

- Sub-2.5-second mobile load
- Mobile-first conversion path

A garden center's website, search and ads
Garden center Drake’s 7 Dees used Lithium for a website, SEO and Google Ads, and the card shows the result of that work. Kevin Atiyeh, who runs Atiyeh Bros, a carpet and rug business, offers his own account of working with Lithium.

FAQ
Questions before a Wilmington website build
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What pushes a website past the typical price?
Scope. The typical $5,000 build covers one location, a short service list and a gallery of finished jobs. Add a page for every service line, several towns and a large photo library, and the work grows; you get a fixed proposal before anything starts.
Do we keep the site if we leave Lithium?
You keep it. The domain, the WordPress install, the content and the photos sit in accounts with your name on them, so another developer can pick up where we stopped.
What happens to our old URLs at launch?
Old pages with traffic or links are pointed at their replacement with a permanent redirect, and Search Console is checked around launch. Rankings can move after a rebuild, so the plan starts with a crawl of the current site and a list of every URL that has to survive.
How do we edit pages after handover?
Your team edits copy, swaps photos and adds finished jobs inside WordPress. At handover, a private Loom recording walks through the admin screens. If updates are not your job, the optional $99 a month plan covers hosting, daily backups, software and security updates plus basic changes.
What should we send before the kickoff?
Send job photos, the services you sell and the towns you serve. The writing is ours, so no draft is needed from you, and you sign off on each page before launch.
