A site built for the call
The pages an Erie contractor needs first
Erie houses are old: the median home here was built in 1949, so repair, replacement and upgrade work is what the site has to explain first. Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites for Erie service businesses, and the build starts from that housing.
That shapes the pages. A plumber needs a page for each repair and a photo of the finished job, a remodeler needs before-and-after photos with a line on what changed, and a painter needs finished rooms with the preparation named. When the work is specific, the quote request gets specific too.
Search in Erie
Two Erie phrases, one page to answer
About 140 searches a month name Erie and web design, split between “web design erie” and “website design erie” at 70 each. Both phrases carry the same volume, so one page has to answer both, and it should show real work and the price, not a stock photo of a laptop.
The results page for “plumber erie” listed Facebook, Thumbtack and Yelp in the top 10, so a customer often meets a business on a directory first. Your own site then has to carry what the directory leaves out: project photos, service detail and a form that works on a phone.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|
| web design erie | 70 | not reported |
| website design erie | 70 | not reported |
| web designer erie | under 10 | not reported |

The Erie market
Older houses, newer subdivisions, different pages
Erie has 43,681 housing units, and the median value is $115,200. Only 0.8% of the stock went up in 2010 or later. A contractor who photographs a dated bathroom or a tired roof and explains the fix reads as more credible here than a gallery of new construction.
There are newer houses too. South of 38th Street the grid gives way to curvilinear roads of post-1970 suburban development, so those jobs need a page with newer kitchens, additions and replacements, not the same gallery.

Trades in Erie County
The first screen each trade needs
Erie County has 87 residential remodelers and 14 new home builders. A remodeler sells one kitchen at a time, so the site has to walk through a project from first photo to finished room, then ask the visitor for the room, the rough budget and the timing.
Flip that for a repair trade. Someone with a burst pipe is not reading a gallery; the phone number, the towns covered and the hours belong at the top. The county has 23 painters, and each has to cover both cases on one page: an easy call for the urgent job and finished rooms for the planned one.

The build
How an Erie site gets from photos to launch
You see and approve each stage, and a phone test of every form and call link comes before launch.
1
Collect the jobs worth showing
Finished-job photos, the services you sell and the townships you cover start the build. The page copy comes from that material and a kickoff call.
2
Start with the phone layout
You review the phone and desktop layouts, with the call button near the top, the quote form in reach and finished jobs before the first long scroll.
3
Build on WordPress and test every form
Each form and phone link gets tried on a real device, then GA4 and call tracking are wired so a call can be traced to the page or ad that produced it.
4
Redirect the old pages and hand you the login
Any page with traffic or links keeps both through a redirect to its replacement. The domain, hosting and content stay in your name, and a private Loom video shows the edits you can make.

- Sub-2.5-second mobile load

What the three services did for Dixie Glass
Dixie Glass is a glass business on the Mississippi Gulf Coast that has served customers since 1946. Lithium built its website and ran its SEO and Google Ads, and the card shows what those three produced. Drake Snodgrass of Drake’s 7 Dees, a garden center, gives his own account alongside.
Glass“Lithium has moved us to page 1 in Google search organically. Prior to working with them we spent a huge part of our marketing budget on paid search. Website redesign was a great experience.”

FAQ
Erie website questions to settle first
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What pushes an Erie website above the typical price?
Scope does. A remodeler with a deep project archive, or a company that wants a page for each service and each township it covers, is buying more pages and more writing. That version gets its own fixed proposal before the first line of code.
Who holds the domain and hosting after launch?
You do. The domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install and the content all sit in accounts with your name on them, so the site stays with you if you ever change agencies.
How do you protect the pages Google already ranks?
Any URL with traffic or links gets a permanent redirect to its replacement, and we watch Search Console through launch. Rankings can wobble while Google re-crawls, and no one can promise they hold. The redirects are what keep the trusted pages connected.
What can we change ourselves once the site is live?
Words, photos and new finished jobs, all from the WordPress editor without touching code. A private Loom video walks your team through it on your own site. If nobody wants that job, the optional $99 a month plan handles hosting, daily backups, software and security updates and basic website changes.
What should we send before the first design?
Your part is easy to list: photographs of completed work, the services you sell, the townships and cities you cover, and time for a kickoff call. The writing and the layout are Lithium’s job, and nothing publishes without your sign-off.
Free action plan
Bring your old site and your best job photos
Send the current site and a few photos of work you are proud of. A co-founder will review both on a short video call and come back with the page list, the fixed price and a launch date.
