The site a buyer sees
A Germantown website built for the housing here
A Germantown website has to look like the houses your crews work on. Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites for service businesses in Germantown, and the project photos do most of the selling. The town’s median home was built in 1990, so photos of 1980s and 1990s houses match the neighborhoods your customers live in, and they belong near the top of the page.
14.7% of Germantown’s housing predates 1980, and the rest is newer, so replacement and upgrade pages should sit beside the repair pages. Each one needs a photo and a sentence about what the customer had to decide.
What the search shows
Ten searches a month for a Germantown web designer
“web design germantown md” records 10 searches a month, and “website design germantown md” another 10. The people typing those terms are comparing designers, so the proposal has to show the pages and the launch, not only a homepage picture.
The rest of the traffic arrives from somewhere else: a trade search, a Google listing, a referral or an ad. The site has to hold up as the place every one of those channels sends people, with the same service names and the same phone number they saw elsewhere.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |

Who approves the work
Who signs off on a Germantown project
The owner-occupied share is 67.2%, and the median value is $422,400, so the site should be written for a homeowner, with the scope, the mess and the cleanup spelled out.
The town has 32,406 housing units, and only 7.4% of them went up in 2010 or later. Houses built after 2010 need work too, so recent construction deserves a page beside the older subdivisions.

Where the photos come from
Painting, remodeling and repair need different galleries
Montgomery County has 146 painting contractors and 678 residential remodelers, and the two sell different things. A painter sells a visual result, so the site needs before-and-after pairs with the room and the work named; a remodeler sells a process, so the sequence matters as much as the finish.
Smaller repair trades follow the same rule. A plumber’s finished install is harder to photograph than a remodel, so the page should show the before, the access and the tidy result, and say what the customer had to clear.

The build
What you approve at each stage of the build
You see the pages before they go live, and the forms are tested on a phone, not only on a laptop.
1
Collect the work you can show
Photos, a service list and the towns you serve are enough to start; a kickoff call fills in what the photos cannot show.
2
Set the page structure
The pages follow the services you sell, with the phone number and the quote form in the first screen of each one.
3
Build and test it
Pages go onto WordPress. We submit every form ourselves, dial the number on each page, and connect GA4 before launch.
4
Go live with the domain in your name
Old addresses are redirected, you get a private walkthrough for edits, and the domain, hosting and content stay yours.
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 build you can check
A garden center’s website, SEO and Google Ads
Drake’s 7 Dees is a garden center. Lithium built its website and ran its SEO and Google Ads, and the card reports what that work produced. Kevin Atiyeh of Atiyeh Bros, a carpet and rug business, describes what it is like to have his company understood.
Garden center“Lithium Marketing has done a good job with understanding our Company and what we specialize in and applying that to our digital marketing.”

Website pages for the towns you serve
A Germantown website can name the towns it serves on separate pages. Start with the three Maryland neighbors linked here, Silver Spring, Columbia and Baltimore, then Washington, Arlington and Alexandria, the last two in Virginia, if your crews travel. The Maryland page lists every city Lithium covers in the state.
Published price
What a Germantown website costs

FAQ
Website questions from Germantown owners
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What pushes a build past the typical price?
More pages and more copy. A company with several trades and a dozen towns needs more than a short site, so the scope and the price are agreed before any work starts, and the timeline is set from the page count.
Can we move the site to another host later?
The domain, hosting account, WordPress install and content are in your name. Another host or developer can take over without asking us, and no export or permission slip is needed.
What happens to the old page addresses?
Each old address that had traffic or links gets redirected to the closest new page, and Search Console is watched around launch. Redirects are the part of a move we control; positions can still shift.
Do we need new photos before the build starts?
Accurate existing photos are enough; we caption what each one shows and what your company supplied. New photos can be added later without a rebuild, so a missing photo never holds up a launch.
How long does a build take?
Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch for a typical service site, with the pages approved before they go live. Larger builds get their own timeline in the proposal.
Free action plan
Show us the site and the photos behind it
