A website built around the call
What an Akron service website has to show
Lithium Marketing builds WordPress sites for Akron trade businesses, and each page has one job: turn a visitor into a call or a quote request. The median home here was built in 1954, so photographs of older-house work belong near the top of the page, not buried in a gallery.
On a phone, the site has to load fast and put the call button where a thumb lands. You own the domain, the hosting account and every page, so a change of agency never means a new website.
Search in Akron
What the Akron web design searches say
“Web design akron” draws about 170 searches a month, and the average click on that phrase costs $14.55. A visitor from that search is comparing designers, so the first screen has to show finished work, a clear price and a way to start.
“Web designer akron” adds about 30 searches a month, a smaller phrase with the same buyer behind it. A portfolio page that loads fast and names the trades you serve does more than a stock-photo gallery.

|---|---|---|

The Akron market
What Akron's housing stock asks of your site
The median Akron home is valued at $122,000, so a gallery of luxury remodels would not speak to the buyer you want. In Akron, 50.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so the site should answer landlord and property-manager questions alongside the homeowner pages.
Akron's suburbs include Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, Fairlawn, Green, Hudson, Mogadore, Montrose-Ghent, Munroe Falls, Norton, Silver Lake, Stow, and Tallmadge. If you work in any of them, a page for that city gives the site somewhere to show the jobs you finished there.

Trades in Summit County
Remodelers, painters and the pages they need
Summit County lists 159 residential remodelers, and their sites sell large projects, so the gallery and the estimate form carry most of the weight. A remodeler needs a page per project type, not one page that promises every kind of addition.
Summit County also has 57 painting contractors, and a painter's site needs finished-room photos and a quote form that works on a phone. A painting visitor decides in seconds whether the work looks like their house.

The build
From your photos to a live Akron site
Your own photos and your service list shape the page order before any design starts.
1
Sort the work into pages
We split the jobs you sell into the pages a buyer would expect: the repair, the installation and the full remodel. You agree the order before anything is drawn.
2
Draft the words for each page
Finished-job photos, the towns you cover and the questions your team hears go into the first draft. You correct the details before the layout begins.
3
Review the phone screen first
The phone layout comes first. The call button and quote form sit above the fold, and the desktop version follows your notes.
4
Test the switch before it happens
Forms, phone links, redirects and tracking get checked on a staging copy. The site goes live after you have clicked through every path yourself.
What every Lithium website includes
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
- SEO-ready architecture
- Google Business Profile alignment
- Real proof where it converts
- Tracking tied to revenue
- Accessible and AI-search ready
Proof
A garden center website with SEO and Google Ads behind it
Drake's 7 Dees runs a garden center, and its card comes from three pieces of Lithium work: a new website, SEO and Google Ads. Nathan Boos of Hillsview Building adds his own account of the relationship.
Garden center“A lot of options out there for websites and SEO. I’ve worked with this team for years now and would highly recommend them. They know their stuff and deliver results. More importantly to me- they care about service and follow through on what they say they will do. Easy to work with and communicate with. Thank you!”

FAQ
Akron website questions, before the build
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What pushes an Akron website past the typical price?
The scope decides it. A deep project archive or a page for every town you serve adds pages and writing, and the proposal puts a number on that before the build starts.
Do we keep the domain and the hosting account?
The domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install and the content are all yours, held in accounts under your name. If we part ways, nothing has to be rebuilt or handed over.
How do you protect the pages Google already trusts?
Redirects go in before launch, with a map of the old pages that have links or traffic and a matching new page for each. Search Console gets checked at launch, and if a position slips, we look at the redirect first. A rebuild is a change, so no agency can promise every position holds.
Can our team edit pages after launch?
WordPress makes it possible without code: text, photos and finished jobs are all editable. A recorded walkthrough of your own site shows where each control lives. The optional $99 a month plan is there if you would rather leave hosting, daily backups, software and security updates and basic changes to us.
What should we have ready before kickoff?
Three things: proof photos, the list of work you take and the map of towns you serve. We handle the writing and the page plan, and you approve each layout before it is built.
