A site built for the call

Fort Wayne web design that answers before the call

A Fort Wayne service business can win the call when the site shows the work before the customer asks. Lithium Marketing builds that WordPress site, with your own job photographs, the services in plain language and a call button a thumb can reach. Fort Wayne has 118,657 housing units, and most of that stock went up before 1980, so the photos that matter most show finished work on an older house.

A page that shows a finished bathroom, a re-roof or a panel upgrade on a house like the reader’s does more than a stock photo and a paragraph about quality. The work is the proof, and the site has to put it in front of the customer before the estimate request.

The houses you work on

Fort Wayne housing stock and what it means for photos

Only 4.7% of Fort Wayne homes went up in 2010 or later, and the median home value in Allen County is $214,900, so repair and remodel pages carry more of the load than new-build pages. Before-and-after photographs on a house of that age say more to a homeowner than a gallery of new construction, because the reader can see their own house in the job.

The Forest Park Boulevard Historic District includes Tudor Revival homes. A neighborhood like that is worth naming on an area page when your crew has worked there, with a before and after photograph from the street.

Different trades, different first screen

A painter and a remodeler ask for different things

Allen County has 38 painting contractors, and the work is usually a room, a facade or a whole house. The site should put interior and exterior on separate pages, with photographs of finished rooms and a quote form that asks which surfaces are in play.

Remodelers are the bigger group, at 155 establishments in Allen County. A project page that shows the scope, the timeline and what the estimate includes carries more weight than a gallery with no captions.

The build

The steps from kickoff to launch

Each stage comes to you for a look before the next one starts, and nothing goes live until the forms and call links pass a test.

1

Start with your finished jobs

You send photographs of completed work, the services you sell and the towns you cover. The copy comes from those details and a call with you, not from a template.

2

Lay out the phone screen

The mobile screen comes before the desktop one, with the call button and the estimate form placed where a thumb lands.

3

Run the launch checks

The WordPress pages get built, every form and phone link gets tested, and analytics plus call tracking go in before the site opens.

4

Redirect, then teach the edits

Addresses that changed get pointed at their new pages, and a private walkthrough shows you how to edit text and swap photographs yourself.

A completed build

A glass company’s new site, inside a wider program

Dixie Glass, a glass company on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, uses a site Lithium designed and built, and the same relationship covers its SEO and Google Ads. The card shows what that work produced. Dave Turin of the excavation company Dozer Dave recommends DJ Van Zanten for website and internet marketing work in the quote beside it.

$5,000

typical project

Larger sites get a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call. Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch. You own the domain, hosting account, WordPress install and content.

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

How many pages does a Fort Wayne service business need?

Enough to cover the services you sell and the cities you serve, and no more. A one-trade shop can start with four or five pages; a remodeler with several project types needs a page for each, plus the city pages that bring in work. The proposal names the page count and the price before any work begins.

Who holds the accounts when the build ends?

The accounts belong to your business: domain, hosting, the WordPress install and the copy. Nothing has to be migrated if you change agencies later, and the walkthrough at the end shows you where each piece lives.

What happens to the pages Google already ranks?

Some movement is normal. Every old address with traffic or links gets pointed at its replacement, and Search Console is checked on both sides of the switch. Nobody can promise a ranking holds; the point of the redirect plan is that a familiar page does not land on a dead end.

How much of my time will the build take?

Two calls and a review pass. You send photographs and service details, answer questions on the kickoff call, and read the pages before launch. The writing, layout and technical setup sit with us, so the build does not turn into a second job for you.

What does the optional maintenance plan cover?

For $99 a month, the plan includes secure hosting on a dedicated high-speed server, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic changes to the site. It is optional and separate from the build. Most clients take it so the site stays current without adding administrative work.
