The build brief
What a Bellingham website has to show
A Bellingham service business needs a website that works on a phone: the work visible, the phone one tap away and the page quick to load. Lithium Marketing designs and builds that WordPress site, and the housing stock sets the brief: 42.8% of Bellingham's homes were built before 1980, so repair, upgrade and remodel pages carry more weight than a general services list.
The median home in Bellingham was built in 1986, and 14.7% of Bellingham's homes went up in 2010 or later. If your work covers both, the site should speak to both: one buyer may want a contractor who has worked on an older house, the other may want a builder who knows newer construction, and each needs its own photos and page.
Search in Bellingham
Where a Bellingham website gets its visits
“Web design bellingham” draws 390 searches a month, and a click on that phrase costs an average of $4.71. At that price a slow site is an expensive place to send a customer, so the build starts with load time and a phone layout.
Traffic from search and ads lands on the same pages. A visitor from a trade search should find a phone number, a service list and proof of finished work in the first screen on a phone.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|
| web design bellingham | 390 | $4.71 |
| website design bellingham | 390 | $4.71 |

The Bellingham market
Old homes, new builds, one website
Bellingham has 43,792 housing units, and the median home value is $627,500. A buyer with that much at stake has reason to check the work before calling, so finished job photos and a clear service list do more than a stock image of a handshake.
A page for Fairhaven or Happy Valley should not read like one for Barkley or Cordata, and a service-area page for each part of town tells a customer you work there. Job photos from those neighborhoods say more than a slogan.

Trades in Whatcom County
What remodelers and landscapers need on a page
Whatcom County has 193 residential remodelers and 111 landscaping companies, and both sell on what they have finished. A gallery of real projects and a form that asks what the job involves carry more weight than a paragraph about values.
Whatcom County has 172 new home builders. Their pages need a gallery of completed homes and a clear idea of what stage a buyer can join. A repair plumber needs the phone number at the top instead, with hours and service area beside it.

The build
From first photo to launch day
You see each stage before the next one starts, and nothing goes live until every form and call link has been tested.
1
Start from the jobs you want
We look at the work you want more of, then plan a page for each service and each part of the city it comes from.
2
Design phone and desktop together
We design the phone layout and the desktop layout together, because a customer who finds you on a phone should not have to pinch and zoom.
3
Load the proof
Your finished jobs go in as photos with a line about what the work involved, not a stock gallery.
4
Test it, then open it
Forms, call links and tracking get checked one by one, old addresses move to their new pages, and a Loom video shows you how to make edits.
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
What a new site did for a fence company
Dave Turin of Dozer Dave, an excavation business, is quoted beside the card. F&W Fence Co. hired Lithium to build a new website and handle its SEO and Google Ads, and the card carries the results.

A page for every city you work in is how the site covers the region. The web design page for each city below carries that city's housing and search figures, and the Washington page lists the rest.

typical project

FAQ
Questions to ask before a redesign
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Which projects need a bigger budget than a standard site?
Size is the main driver. A company with a long project list, several trades or a wide service area needs more pages, and a move off an old platform adds work. Either way the price for the larger build is fixed before anything starts.
Who owns the site and the domain when it's done?
You keep everything: domain, hosting, WordPress and content, each in an account you control. We set the site up under your name so a future move does not cost you the asset.
Can we edit the site ourselves after launch?
Yes. Text, photos and finished jobs are all editable in WordPress, and a private Loom video shows the parts you will touch. If you would rather not touch them, the optional $99 a month plan covers secure hosting, daily backups, software and security updates and basic website changes.
Will a new site keep the rankings we already have?
Old addresses that carry traffic get a redirect to their replacement, and we watch Search Console in the first weeks. Google decides what happens to a position, so the plan protects the URLs that matter and keeps the content they matched.
How much of our time does a build take?
A kickoff call, a photo drop, design reviews and a read-through of the copy. Most of the work sits with us; you approve each stage before the next one starts.
