Burlington web design, answered

A Burlington website built for the houses here

Burlington's median home was built in 1957, and a website for a plumber, painter or remodeler here has to show work on houses that old. Lithium Marketing builds WordPress sites that put finished jobs, real photos and the phone number first on a phone screen, ahead of any form.

Burlington has 18,079 housing units, and 71.9% of its homes were built before 1980, so the site should show repair, replacement and remodel work by project type and by neighborhood, with photos that look like the houses a customer is standing in.

The Burlington market

Mid-century houses and a rental share to write for

The median home value in Burlington is $444,800. A remodeler or painter who shows a mid-century kitchen, or a basement that needed a new floor, gives an owner a real comparison that a stock photo cannot.

Rentals shape the rest. The University District holds UVM and blocks of former single-family homes converted to apartments, so a landlord, a tenant and a homeowner can all land on the same service page. Pages that answer for all three, with the right photos, give each of them a reason to call.

Trades in Chittenden County

What remodelers and painters need on a page

Chittenden County has 119 residential remodelers and 39 painting contractors. Those are project businesses, so the first screen should show a finished room or a whole-house job, and the quote form should ask for the project type, the address and the timeline in one pass.

Repair trades need a different page: the phone number, the service area and the hours belong at the top, because the visitor with water on the floor is not going to read a gallery first. That is the page to build first for a plumber or an electrician, and Chittenden County also has 78 electrical contractors selling that same first call.

The build

From kickoff to launch in Burlington

You approve the design, the copy and the photos before the site goes live.

1

Collect the jobs you want more of

You send photos, the services you sell and the towns you cover. We pick the projects that show the work a customer is likely to need next.

2

Start with the screen a customer holds

The first screen carries the phone number, the service and a finished job, and the rest of the page follows the order a buyer reads: proof, then price, then the form.

3

Write the pages and test the links

We write the copy, build the service and city pages, and test every call button and form on a real phone before launch.

4

Go live and show you the controls

Old addresses get redirected, the site goes live, and you get a private walkthrough for changing photos and text yourself.

Proof

A Portland glass company's website, SEO and Google Ads

Town & Country Glass, a commercial glass company in Portland, had Lithium build its website and run SEO and Google Ads, so the card reflects that combined work. Dave Turin of Dozer Dave, an excavation business, is quoted recommending co-founder DJ Van Zanten.

FAQ

Questions before a Burlington website rebuild

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].

How long does a Burlington website build take?

Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch for a typical service business site. The schedule depends on how many service and city pages you need and how quickly the photos and copy come together, and you review each stage before the next one starts.

What happens to the pages that already bring calls?

The addresses that carry traffic or links get redirects to their new homes, and we keep an eye on Search Console after launch. Rankings can move when a site changes, and we say so up front; the redirects are what keep the old addresses working for customers and for Google.

What makes a website cost more than the typical build?

Page count is the main driver. Galleries for several project types, a page for every town you serve, or extra forms and tracking all add design, copy and testing, and the larger figure is fixed in a proposal before work starts.

Can we use the photos from our old site?

If you own them and they show finished work, yes. New photos of recent jobs usually do more, because a customer can see a house like theirs and a project close to what they need. We sort the keepers during the kickoff.

Do we get to edit the site after launch?

You do. The site runs on WordPress, so you can change text, swap a photo and add a finished job without touching code, and the private walkthrough shows you how.
