Built around the buyer
Durham website design should show what you can do
Lithium Marketing turns your service descriptions and completed projects into a WordPress website Durham customers can use to hire you. In Durham city, 29.7% of homes were built before 1980. If your crew repairs, updates or remodels older properties, show that experience through work photos and explanations of the jobs you handled.
Newer homes also belong in the picture: 25.3% of Durham city’s homes were built in 2010 or later. Choose examples that reflect the properties you work on, without making visitors guess what a finished photo means. Your pages should connect the customer’s goal with your service, then make the next step obvious.
Design after discovery
The visitor should land on the service they searched for
An estimated 720 searches each month name “roofing company durham”. A roofing website should let that visitor find repair or replacement information without opening every page. We organize services so a person comparing companies can read about the work, see examples and request an estimate.
Directories are another way customers may discover you. Angi, HomeAdvisor and Yelp were among the top 10 organic results for “plumber durham” when checked. Give visitors who arrive from a directory more detail on your own site: the services you provide, photos of your work and the information they need to request a quote.

|---|---|---|
| web design durham | 210 | $0.97 |
| website design durham | 210 | $0.97 |

A site for the people hiring you
Make the next step clear for homeowners and property managers
A homeowner planning a larger project may want to compare your work before calling. Put the estimate form after the service details and photos, while keeping a phone link visible for visitors ready to talk. The site should serve both kinds of customer without forcing them through the same sequence.
The owner-occupied share of Durham city’s occupied homes is 52.3%. For businesses serving rental properties, the website can explain how owners, managers and tenants should contact you. Keep the form short, but collect enough information to let your staff understand who is arranging the work.

Photos with a purpose
Help a buyer compare the work behind the image
Painting contractors account for 53 establishments in Durham County. A painter’s gallery earns its place when captions explain the surfaces, preparation and finish involved. We place examples beside the service they demonstrate, so visitors can move from a job photo to an estimate request.
Among Durham County businesses are 104 residential remodelers. Remodelers can show the original problem, the changes made and the finished space in a project story. For a service company with several kinds of work, this structure keeps a large portfolio understandable without burying contact details.

The website project
From your job photos to a site you can maintain
The build has defined reviews, tested customer actions and a handover that leaves your business in control.
1
Collect the material customers need
We discuss the services you sell and gather your job photos, service area and existing website access. That material gives us the basis for writing the pages.
2
Review layouts on both screen sizes
You review the mobile and desktop designs with us. We work through the navigation, service details and estimate forms before building the finished site.
3
Test the site as a customer
We check phone links, form delivery and the layout on different screens. GA4 and call tracking are added so visits and customer responses can be measured.
4
Publish and show you the editor
We prepare redirects for replaced URLs and check the launch. You receive a private Loom walkthrough so your team can update text and photos in WordPress.
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
A website within the marketing work
Commercial glass work from Portland
For commercial glass company Town & Country Glass in Portland, our work covered the website, SEO and Google Ads. Its case shows the results. Kevin Atiyeh explains how Lithium learned what his carpet and rug company, Atiyeh Bros, specializes in and applied that understanding to its marketing.

FAQ
Decisions to make before a website rebuild
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What is included in a typical website proposal?
A typical project covers a WordPress website built around your services, with copy, mobile and desktop design, contact forms and tracking. The published price fits most builds; a larger set of service, location or project pages needs a fixed proposal. We confirm the page list and functions before work starts.
How much time should I allow for the website build?
A typical website takes six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch. Your availability to review designs and supply photos affects the schedule. We establish the scope and review stages at the start, then test the site’s forms and phone links before publication.
What do I keep if I stop working with Lithium?
Your business owns the domain, hosting, WordPress installation and content. Ownership stays with you when the agency relationship ends. We also provide a walkthrough of the site’s editor, so you have a way to maintain the pages and project photos yourself.
Can you move existing pages without losing their links?
We plan redirects from replaced URLs to the corresponding new pages and review search performance around launch. That preserves a route for visitors and search engines using existing links. Rankings can change during a rebuild, so the migration work belongs in the project plan.
Who looks after WordPress once the site is live?
You can manage the site yourself or choose our optional hosting and maintenance service. The optional $99/month plan includes private hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes. It is separate from the build, so you can decide how much ongoing help you need.
Free action plan
Plan a Durham website customers can act on
Bring your current URL and examples of work you want the next site to feature. A co-founder will discuss the pages, ownership and build scope on a short video call, then outline your free website plan.
