The starting point
A Fairbanks website for the housing that is here
Most of the work a Fairbanks contractor sells happens on a house that is already standing, and the website has to show it. The median home in Fairbanks was built in 1979, and 51.3% of the city’s homes went up before 1980. Lithium Marketing builds WordPress sites for Fairbanks service businesses, and every page has one job: turn a visitor into a call or a quote request.
A housing stock like that changes what the site has to show: repair work, replacement work and the job photos that prove you have done it on a house like the customer’s. We build the pages around that work, and the copy comes from a call with you and the photos you send.
Search in Fairbanks
What a Fairbanks search needs from the site
“garage door repair fairbanks” draws about 70 searches a month and “landscaping fairbanks” about 70, and each of those searches lands on a page that either makes the call easy or loses the visitor. A visitor on a phone decides in seconds, so the first screen carries the service, the area and the call button.
“web design fairbanks” draws about 20 a month, so a designer’s own search traffic is not what fills the calendar. The site earns its keep by converting the trade traffic that SEO and ads send it, which is why every page ends with a way to call or ask for a quote.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|
| web design fairbanks | 20 | not reported |
| web designer fairbanks | under 10 | not reported |

The local market
What the housing stock asks of the pages
Fairbanks has 13,793 housing units, and only 7.0% were built in 2010 or later, so a new build is the rare job. The work a service business gets is on houses already standing, and a site that shows that work answers the question a buyer is asking.
The median home value in Fairbanks is $268,400. At that value, job photos, a service page for each kind of job and a short explanation of how you work carry more weight than a stock photo of a truck.

Why a plumber’s site and a remodeler’s site differ
The Fairbanks North Star Borough records 49 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors and 27 landscaping services, and the two sell different visits. A plumbing or heating page gets calls from people who need someone soon, so the phone number and the service area belong at the top.
A landscaper sells a project that takes weeks, so the site needs a gallery, a scope section and a form that asks about the project before the first visit. A painting contractor needs both the fast call and the photos of finished rooms.

The build
From your job photos to a live Fairbanks site
You see the design on a phone and a desktop before the build, and the site goes live after every form and phone link is tested.
1
Start from the jobs you want
You pick three or four finished jobs that look like the work you want more of, and the service pages get built around them.
2
Look at it on a phone first
The first design review happens on a phone screen, with the call button, the service list and the photos where a customer’s thumb lands.
3
Build, test and connect the tracking
WordPress is the build; each form and phone link gets tested; GA4 and call tracking go live with the site.
4
Move the old addresses
Every old page that earned a visit or a link points at its new address, and you get a walkthrough for your own edits.

- Sub-2.5-second mobile load

FAQ
Website questions from Fairbanks owners
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
When does a Fairbanks website cost more than the typical price?
Price follows scope. A single-trade company with a short service list is the typical build; several trades, a long project list or a big service area add pages and copy, and any build past the typical one gets a fixed proposal before work starts.
Who owns the site when it is finished?
The site is yours from launch, and the domain and hosting accounts open in your business’s name. If you ever move on, the domain and the site stay with you.
What happens to the old pages when the new site goes live?
The pages that earned traffic or links keep a redirect to their new address, and we check Search Console through the first weeks after launch. Google has to read the new site, so positions can move; the redirects keep the old links working while it does.
What do you need from us before the build starts?
The main thing is a kickoff call. We collect the service list, the job photos and the areas you cover after that call, and the copy is ours to write. You approve the design and pages before launch.
Can we change the site ourselves after launch?
The site is built on WordPress, which means text edits, new photos and a fresh project page are all yours to make. No code, and no call to us.
