Web design in Berkeley, California
Berkeley web design that gets a homeowner from search to phone call.
Berkeley's median home was built in 1944, so a service business site here needs older-house proof, one-tap calling and a domain you keep.
- Your finished jobs on the first screen
- A call button a thumb can reach
- The domain and the site stay yours

What the site has to prove
A website built for the houses Berkeley has
Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress websites for Berkeley service businesses, and the work starts with the property itself. Berkeley's median home went up in 1944, and 81.0% of the housing was built before 1980, so most of the houses a plumber, painter or remodeler works on are older.
That history changes what the site has to show. A gallery of finished rooms means little without the preparation behind it, and a bathroom remodel is a different sale in an old house than in a new build. The page needs the before, the after and the scope, because that is what a homeowner comparing contractors wants to see.
Search in Berkeley
Where a Berkeley search ends
Your website is where a search finishes. Google reports about 10 a month for “web design berkeley”, a thin number that says little about your customers. They type the trade instead, land on your site from that search and decide whether to call.
Those clicks land on a page, and the page either keeps the visitor or hands them back to Google. A Berkeley search for a plumber turns up Nextdoor, Reddit and Yelp high in the results, and a homeowner reading those pages sees names and ratings but little about the work itself. Your site is where that homeowner can see the work, the crew and the finished room.

The Berkeley market
A housing stock that decides the page list
Berkeley builds little new housing. After the 1960s the city banned most new housing construction, and only 6.6% of its homes went up in 2010 or later, so a Berkeley website should sell repair, replacement and remodel work on houses that already exist. Organize the site around those jobs, not around the company's founding story.
Most of those houses are detached, and many have a separate in-law unit in the rear. A site that shows a finished in-law unit can give a Berkeley homeowner a reason to call you before the next name on the list.

Trades in Berkeley
A remodeler and a painter need different front pages
Alameda County has 769 residential remodelers, the biggest group on the chart, and 186 painting contractors. A remodeler sells a project that runs for months, so the site needs full galleries, a page per kind of project and a form that asks about scope. A painter sells rooms and exteriors, so the same site needs a fast quote and photos of prep work.
The repair trades need a different first screen. Someone with a burst pipe or a dead circuit wants the number, the hours and the area you cover, and a gallery can wait until after they have called.

The build
What happens between the first call and launch day
The page map comes first, then the copy, then the screens a customer will use.
1
Map the pages before design
We list the services and the parts of Berkeley the site has to cover, so each job you want has a page to land on before anyone opens a design file.
2
Write from your jobs, not a template
You send photos and a service list, and we draft the copy from a call about how you sell and price the work.
3
Review it on a phone, then a desktop
You see the layouts where customers will see them: the call button, the form and the finished jobs in the first screens.
4
Test, redirect and hand over
We check every form and phone link on a handset, redirect old addresses, and hand over a Loom walkthrough that shows you how to edit a page.
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 commercial glass company's site, search and ads
Daniel Busby supplied the quote beside the card; he runs Willard Power Vac, which cleans air ducts, dryer vents and chimneys. The card belongs to Town & Country Glass, a Portland commercial glass company whose website, SEO and Google Ads all came from Lithium.
Commercial glass“Lithium Marketing has been amazing for our business. They have greatly increased our web traffic and helped us land hundreds of jobs. Before we started using Lithium we were sitting on page 8 in google. We are now sitting in the top spots in all the areas we do work.”

Websites for the cities on Berkeley's edges
Six nearby cities have web design pages of their own: Daly City, Concord, Vallejo, Oakland, Richmond and Hayward. Each carries local housing and search figures. One page per city you serve, showing projects done there, keeps a Berkeley site from reading like a list of everywhere you might go. The California page has the rest.

What a Berkeley website costs to build

typical project
Larger sites get a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call. Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch. You own the domain, hosting account, WordPress install and content.
FAQ
Before you pay for a Berkeley website
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What pushes a build above the typical price?
Pages, not polish. A site with a page for each service and each city you serve takes more writing and more design time than a five-page brochure. When the build is bigger than a typical trade site, the number comes to you as a fixed price before the first line of code.
Who holds the domain and the hosting after launch?
You do. The domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install and the copy sit in your name, and nothing is locked to Lithium. If you leave, the site leaves with you.
What happens to my Google rankings when the new site goes up?
A rebuild can move rankings, and anyone who promises otherwise is guessing. What we do is redirect every old address that carries traffic or links, then watch Search Console for the weeks around launch, so the pages Google already trusts point at their replacements.
Can my team edit the site without calling you?
You can edit it without us. The build is WordPress, and your team gets an editor for copy, images and finished jobs, so a new photo does not need a developer. The private Loom walkthrough marks where each piece lives, and the optional $99/month plan covers hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, plus basic changes if you would rather hand those over.
What do you need from me before the build starts?
Three things: job photos you already have on a phone, the services you want more of, and the cities you will travel to. Add time for a kickoff call. The writing is ours, and the design and the text both wait for your sign-off.
