What a site has to do
What an Athens website has to do first
Lithium Marketing builds WordPress sites for Athens service businesses, and the site’s first job is to answer two questions on a phone: what work you do, and how to reach you. 39.6% of Athens homes were built before 1980, so much of what a local trade sells is a repair or a replacement on an older house, and the photos and service pages have to show that work.
The housing stock sets the page plan. The median Athens home was built in 1987, and 11.2% of Athens homes were built in 2010 or later, so repair work and new construction both belong on the site. A remodeler taking on additions and a plumber replacing pipe in an older ranch need different photos, different service pages and different proof.
Search in Athens
What a search asks your site to prove
“landscaping athens” draws 170 searches a month, and each one is a customer deciding whether to call. A site that takes seconds to load on a phone has lost some of them before the offer appears. That is why the build starts with weight: compressed images, a light theme and nothing in the plugin stack a phone has to chew through.
A directory can send a customer your way, and the ones who look you up afterward land on your site. Yelp was the one directory in the top 10 when we checked the plumber search in Athens, and the customer who follows it should find the same name, phone number and service list. What a profile cannot show is the finished work, and a gallery per service is the reason to visit the site after the directory.

The Athens market
Older homes, newer builds and what to show
The median home value in Athens is $299,200, so the homes your crews work on are worth photographing properly. Stock images ask a buyer to take a chance; a gallery sorted by job type shows finished work on a house like theirs.
Athens has 57,090 housing units, and the city spreads over a series of hills, so a crew’s map is rarely a circle. Service-area pages built around the roads that radiate from downtown (Milledge Avenue, Prince Avenue, Broad Street) tell a customer on the far side of the county that you work there, which a single “Athens and surrounding areas” page never does.

Trades in Clarke County
Project trades and repair trades want different sites
Clarke County lists 22 new home builders, and a builder’s customer reads a site the way they read a set of plans. Give them a gallery for each kind of build, a page for additions and remodels, and a form that asks for the lot, the size and the start date.
Repair trades need the opposite. A plumber or an electrician wants the number at the top of the screen, the service area named in the first line and a short form for the jobs that can wait. Clarke County lists 11 painting contractors, and a painter needs both: a fast way to ask for a quote and a gallery of finished rooms.

The build
How an Athens site gets made
Each stage gets your sign-off, and the site goes live only after the forms and call buttons have been tested on a phone.
1
List the jobs worth showing
Send photos of finished work and the services that pay best. We write the page list from those, not from a template.
2
Draw the phone screen first
The call button, the photos and the short form are placed on a phone layout before the desktop version exists.
3
Write the pages from your answers
We write the copy from a call with you, then build it in WordPress and connect GA4 and call tracking.
4
Check the buttons, then switch it on
Every phone link and form gets tested on a handset, old addresses redirect to the new pages, and you get a Loom tour of the site you own.

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

A glass company case
Three services behind a Portland glass company’s website
The quote comes from Chris Martin at Mt. Hood Pro Painting. The numbers on the card belong to Town & Country Glass, a Portland glass company that had Lithium build its website, run its SEO and manage its Google Ads.
Commercial glass“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.”

City pages for the towns your crews reach
Housing figures for each city are on the pages below. If a nearby town sends you steady work, its page tells you how many homes are there and when they were built. Five of the cities are in Georgia and one is across the line in Tennessee, and the state page lists the rest.

typical project

FAQ
Questions before an Athens website rebuild
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What does the $5,000 cover, and when does a site cost more?
A service business site like yours is typically $5,000. More pages, more copy and a bigger gallery raise it, and a larger build gets a fixed proposal after a discovery call before any work starts.
Who owns the site, the domain and the content?
You do. The domain, the hosting, the WordPress install and the content sit in accounts with your name on them, so nothing depends on staying with us. That includes every photo and page we add.
What happens to the pages that already bring calls?
Nothing with traffic gets deleted. Each old address is pointed at its replacement before the new site goes live, and Search Console is watched around launch for the pages that used to bring calls. Positions can move in a rebuild; what we control is making sure the old links still land on a working page.
How do we get our own job photos into the site?
Send what you have, even phone photos. We crop and size them for the pages, and after launch you can swap a photo yourself in WordPress. The build plan lists which jobs need a new photo before the site goes live.
How long does a build take from kickoff?
Six to nine weeks for most service business sites. The calendar depends on how fast photos and page feedback come back, and the timeline is set before work starts.
Free action plan
See what a caller sees before you rebuild
Two things start the plan: the address of the site you have now, and a few photos of finished work. On the short video call, a co-founder walks your site the way a thumb would, then sets the page list, the price and the timeline.
