Web design in Charleston
A Charleston website for the work you do
A Charleston service business needs a site that shows the finished job and works on a phone, and Lithium Marketing builds it on WordPress. The median home in Charleston was built in 1957, so repair, replacement and upgrade pages matter more than a new-build gallery, and the photos need to carry that work.
Charleston has 25,544 housing units, and 79.3% of its homes went up before 1980. A site that sells only new construction misses most of those houses, so the portfolio should show older kitchens, repaired roofs and updated systems alongside anything new.
Search and the site
What a Charleston visitor needs in the first screen
Searches for web design naming Charleston run about 30 a month, and the average click on “web design charleston wv” costs $23.13. That is a small, expensive search, so most visitors probably arrive from a service search or a referral, not from someone shopping for a designer.
So the home page has to work for a customer who searched “plumber charleston wv” or “roofing company charleston wv”, not for a marketing buyer. The phone number, the service list and the proof belong in the first screen; the story about your company can wait.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|

Housing and the page plan
What Charleston's housing stock asks of a website
Only 3.2% of Charleston's homes were built in 2010 or later, and the median value is $203,300. The website has to make a case for work on houses that are already standing, with photos that show the before, the problem and the finish.
Charleston sits at the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha rivers, and the two rivers shape how the city is laid out. Service-area pages should name the places a customer uses, with the job address confirmed on the form.

The trades behind the site
A remodeling page and a repair page are not the same website
Kanawha County has 49 residential remodelers and 23 new home builders, and both sell projects a customer wants to see before hiring. A gallery of finished work, a short explanation of the process and a form that asks for scope carry that sale better than a stock photo.
Kanawha County also has 46 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors and 8 painting contractors. Those trades need the opposite first screen: the phone number, the service area and the hours, with the gallery lower down for the customer who wants proof before calling.

The build
From first photo to launch day
Nothing goes live until you have clicked the call button, sent a test form and seen the tracking fire.
1
Sort the photos you have
You send what exists, and we choose the shots that show the problem, the work and the finish for each service.
2
Draw the phone layout
The call button, quote form and two best photos get placed on a phone screen before the desktop version is drawn.
3
Write and build the pages
Copy comes from a call with you, then the pages are built on WordPress and every form and phone link is tested.
4
Check the switch
Redirects go in for the old addresses, analytics and call tracking get one last check, and a private Loom walkthrough shows you how to edit.

- Sub-2.5-second mobile load

A Gulf Coast glass company, a builder's review
Dixie Glass sells glass on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Lithium built its website, ran SEO and managed Google Ads, and the card reflects that three-part job. Marc Rickabaugh's quote is his Google review of the website and SEO work at Rickabaugh Construction.
Glass“We used the team at Lithium Marketing to update our website and increase our SEO. We couldn't have been happier with the results! We receive compliments about our updated website on a regular basis!”

Websites for the towns you serve
A website for a business that works across several towns can give each one a page. The nearby pages below cover the West Virginia cities and the two out-of-state markets, and the West Virginia page links the rest.

FAQ
Charleston website questions before a rebuild
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What pushes a Charleston website past the typical build cost?
Size is the main driver. One location with a handful of services fits the $5,000 build. Add dozens of finished projects, or a page for every town you serve, and the page count and copy grow; that larger price is fixed before work starts.
Who owns the website after launch?
You keep the domain, the hosting and the WordPress install, and every page and photo is yours. If you move on, the site moves with you, not with us.
Will a new site lose the rankings we have?
Old addresses that earned traffic or links get redirected one by one, and Search Console is checked through the switch. The order can move after any launch, so the plan is to keep the pages Google already knows reachable at their new addresses.
Can my team edit the site after launch?
Yes. The site runs on WordPress, so text edits, new photos and a fresh job page need no code. The private Loom walkthrough covers the screens you will use. If you would rather hand it off, the optional $99 a month plan includes hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes.
What should I send before the build starts?
A folder of job photos, the services you sell, the towns you work in and an hour for a kickoff call. Copywriting is ours, so your job is to review, and nothing goes live until you have seen every page.
Free action plan
Start a Charleston website plan with your own photos
