Web design in Dearborn, Michigan

A Dearborn website built so the customer on a phone can see your work and call.

Most Dearborn homes went up before 1980, so your site should show repair and upgrade work on older houses, with the call button on every screen.

Dearborn web design, answered

What a Dearborn contractor’s website has to prove

A homeowner comparing three contractors is buying confidence, and the website is where that is settled or lost. Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress websites for Dearborn service businesses so a visit turns into a call or a quote request: photos of work like the customer’s own house, the services you sell, and a phone number that never scrolls off a phone screen.

That proof matters more in Dearborn than in a newer city. The median Dearborn home went up in 1952, and only 3.1% of the housing went up in 2010 or later, so most of the work you show is a repair, a replacement or an upgrade on a house that has been standing for decades. A gallery of those jobs says more than a stock photo of a showroom.

The Dearborn market

Owner-occupied, older, and worth the photo

Dearborn has 39,394 housing units, and 68.4% of the occupied ones are owner-occupied. A homeowner can approve the work and pay for it, so the service pages should be written for that person, with the photos and the detail that person is looking for.

Dearborn’s median home value is $218,800, so many of the homeowners you want have money tied up in the house and treat repair work as a considered purchase. The site should carry photos of similar jobs, a review from a customer nearby and a form that asks about the property and not about the budget.

Trades in Wayne County

Different first screens for different trades

Wayne County has 114 painting contractors and 99 new home builders, and the two need different home pages. A painter’s visitor wants to see rooms finished and a date; a builder’s visitor wants plans, a location and the stage the project has reached.

The county also has 471 residential remodelers. The gallery carries the most weight on a remodeler’s site, so full project pages, before-and-after pairs and a form that asks for the property’s age and the scope beat a single grid of finished rooms.

The build

What happens between kickoff and launch

Nothing goes live until the phone links, the forms and the tracking have been tested on a real handset.

1

Collect the proof

Job photos, the service list and the towns you cover come from you, and every page gets written from that material and one interview.

2

Design for a thumb, not a mouse

The phone layout comes first, and you approve where the call button, the quote form and the photos sit.

3

Build it, then try to break it

WordPress is the base, and the forms, the phone links and the tracking are tested until a call on a real handset shows up in the report.

4

Go live, then teach you the controls

Old links point at the new pages, the site opens to the public, and you get a private Loom walkthrough of your own site.

Proof

A septic company’s website, search and ads

Byers Septic Service is the case behind the numbers on the card, and the work was a new website, SEO and Google Ads, with the card reflecting all three. Matt Johnson’s quote comes from his time running On-Target Landscape.

The city developed on both sides of the Rouge River. If your crews cross it, a page for each side of town tells a customer you work both. The links below are the web design pages for the nearby cities, with their housing and search figures, and the Toledo page is the one in Ohio.

FAQ

What a new Dearborn site has to answer

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What pushes a build past the typical price?

Ask how many pages the site needs and the rest follows. A remodeler showing dozens of finished projects needs a page for each kind of job; a shop with one service needs a handful. Any figure above the typical build is agreed in writing before work begins.

Whose name is on the domain and the hosting?

Yours. The domain, the hosting, the WordPress install and every page and photo sit in accounts with your name on them, so the site travels with you if you ever change agencies.

What happens to the pages Google already ranks?

The old addresses get redirected one for one, and Search Console is watched closely for the first few weeks after launch. Positions can wobble during a move, and no honest agency will tell you otherwise. What a planned migration does is keep the pages Google already trusts pointed at a live page.

Can we edit the site ourselves after it goes live?

It is WordPress, so text, photos and finished jobs are all yours to change, and the Loom walkthrough shows where each one lives. If nobody on the team wants that job, the optional $99 a month plan keeps the site hosted, backed up daily, updated and patched, with basic changes handled.

How much of our time does a build take?

One kickoff call, one review of the designs and one read of the pages. You send photos and the service list, we write the copy and build the pages, and the run from kickoff to launch is six to nine weeks.
