A site for the property mix
A site for Arlington County's property mix
A website for an Arlington County trade business has to work for two kinds of customer at once: the owner who lives in the house and the renter in an apartment. In Arlington County, 41.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and 73% of the housing supply is multifamily apartments or condos, so a site that shows only single-family work leaves a large share of the county without a next step. Lithium Marketing writes and builds the WordPress site around that mix, with the phone number and the project photos where a visitor sees them first.
The pages are written from a call with the owner and from real job photos, not from a template. Every visitor gets a clear path: the kind of property, the work you do there, and a phone number that works on a phone.
Search demand for a designer
What a web design search in the county tells you
The phrase “web design arlington va” draws about 70 searches a month, and “website design arlington va” draws another 70. The county's own demand for a designer is small, so the site's job is to convert the traffic that SEO and ads send: the trade searches are the ones that end in a call, and the website is where that call starts.
A visitor who lands from a trade search wants to see the work, the property type and a way to call. We build separate pages for houses, condos and rental property, and we test the phone path on a real phone before the site goes live.

Housing in the county
Older houses, newer buildings and rented homes
53.0% of Arlington County homes were built before 1980, and the median home was built in 1976, so repair and replacement work belongs on the site beside new construction. A plumber or electrician who works on older houses should show the pipe, panel or fixture work in photos with a caption that says what changed.
13.6% of the county's housing was built in 2010 or later, and the county has 121,970 housing units. Garden apartment complexes, which were built most prolifically between the New Deal era and the post-war period, exist throughout the county, so rental property work has a long history here. Newer condos and apartments need separate pages, and the property type should be a choice a visitor can make before scrolling.

Trades in Arlington County
Builders, remodelers and repair trades need different pages
The county has 25 new home builders and 73 residential remodelers, and both sell work that a photo gallery carries better than a paragraph. Give each project type a page, show the finished rooms and frames, and ask for the property and the goal in the quote request.
Arlington County has 14 painting contractors, and their sites need a gallery of finished rooms beside a fast quote. Electrical contractors need the phone number and the service area at the top of the page.

The website work
The build, step by step, for an Arlington County site
You approve each stage, and the site goes live after the forms, the phone links and the tracking have been tested.
1
Start with the work you want more of
The pages get built around the projects and property types you name, and the copy comes from a conversation with you and the photos you send.
2
Map the property types first
Houses, condos and rental property get separate pages, so a visitor can pick the one that matches the job.
3
Test the phone path on a real phone
The call button, the photos and the property choices are checked on a phone before the build goes further.
4
Redirect, launch, then walk through the screens
Old page addresses get redirected at launch, and a private Loom recording covers the screens you will use for changes.
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's website, SEO and ads
Drake's 7 Dees, a garden center, bought a new website, SEO and Google Ads from Lithium, so the figures on the card come from all three. Chris Martin of Mt. Hood Pro Painting gives the recommendation beside it.
Garden center“Ever since we've used Lithium Marketing, our phone has been ringing off the hook and we can hardly keep up with the leads we get from Google, Facebook or through our website. Most of our leads other than referrals are through Google and it's all because of Lithium Marketing.”
Chris MartinMt. Hood Pro PaintingWeb design around the county
Pages for the cities that border the county
Each city around the county gets a web design page: Alexandria and Washington first, then Silver Spring, Waldorf, Germantown and Columbia in Maryland. A site built for a county customer usually needs a page for the cities where the work is, and these links show how the housing and the customers change from one place to the next; the Northern Virginia page and the Virginia directory cover the metro and the state.

FAQ
Before an Arlington County site rebuild
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What does a new website cost?
About 90% of Lithium's builds cost around $5,000. A larger site with more service pages, project galleries or city pages gets a fixed proposal after a discovery call, so the price is set before the work starts.
Who owns the site and the domain?
The business owns them. You get the WordPress login at launch, the domain stays in the business's registrar account, and the content and photos are yours to keep.
How long does a build take?
A build takes six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on how quickly the photos, service list and page reviews come back. The timeline is set before work starts, and the launch waits until the forms, phone links and tracking have been tested.
Do you write the copy and choose the photos?
Lithium writes the copy from a call with the owner and from the job photos you send. You review every page before it goes live, and the photos stay yours.
What does the optional hosting and maintenance plan cover?
It is $99 a month and covers secure private hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes. It is optional and separate from the build.

On a short video call, a co-founder will review the current site, the property types it covers and the phone path, then set out the first pages, the cost and the timeline. Send the site link and a few finished-job photos before the call.
