Harrisburg web design, answered

A Harrisburg site that looks like the work

A Harrisburg service business gets a WordPress website from Lithium Marketing that is built to turn a visit into a call or an estimate request. The median Harrisburg home dates to 1947, so the houses a Harrisburg trade business works on have usually been standing for decades, and the site should show that.

Old housing also changes what a photo is worth. A bathroom that was gutted, a roof that was replaced or a set of rooms that were repainted tells a Harrisburg customer more than a stock image, and the pages are arranged to put those photos next to the phone number.

The Harrisburg market

What the housing stock asks of a website

The housing stock sets the photo plan: 85.3% of Harrisburg homes were built before 1980. Only 3.1% of Harrisburg homes date to 2010 or later, and that mix is why the photos on a Harrisburg site should be repair and remodel jobs, with the messy middle included, because that is the part a customer is trying to judge.

Harrisburg has 24,130 housing units on about 8.1 square miles of land, and 36.6% of Harrisburg's occupied homes are owner-occupied. In a city this dense, a service-area page can name a few blocks and skip the whole-county list, and a landlord or property manager with several units is worth a page of their own.

Trades in Dauphin County

Who needs a gallery and who needs a phone number

Dauphin County has 101 residential remodelers and 19 painting contractors. A remodeler's site lives or dies on the project gallery: before-and-after pairs, a page for each type of job, and a form that asks which rooms and when. A painter needs a tighter version of the same set.

The repair trades sell a phone call, not a gallery. Dauphin County has 67 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, so the number, the service area and the hours belong at the top of the page, with the job photos after.

The build

The order of a Harrisburg build

You see the first screen, the page list and the phone layout before a page is built.

1

Start with the jobs you are proudest of

You send the photos, the service list and the places you cover. The page plan is sketched from that material, not from a template.

2

Sketch the phone screen first

The call button, the estimate form and three job photos get placed on a phone layout before the desktop version is drawn.

3

Build, then test it on a real phone

Every form and phone link gets tapped, and GA4 with call tracking is wired before launch.

4

Move the old pages across

Redirects go in for every old address with traffic or links, the site goes live, and a private Loom shows your team how to edit it.

What every Lithium website includes

The same eight parts go into every website build, wherever the business is.

FAQ

Questions before a Harrisburg website rebuild

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What makes a Harrisburg build cost more than the typical price?

Two things: the number of pages and the photography. A remodeler with a long project list needs a gallery page for each type of job, and a company covering every township needs more pages written. The fixed proposal arrives before any work starts.

Who owns the site when it is finished?

The owner does: domain, hosting account, WordPress install and content. If you leave, the site goes with you. The optional hosting and maintenance plan is $99 a month for private hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes, and it is not required.

Will the new site keep the rankings the old one has?

Plan the move before launch. Old addresses with traffic or links are redirected to their new pages, and Search Console is checked after launch for pages that dropped out. A ranking can still move, so the first month gets watched closely.

Can my crew change the site after launch?

Your crew edits text and photos in the WordPress dashboard and can post a new job without calling us. A private Loom recording covers the edit screens, and the optional $99 plan can take the upkeep off your hands if nobody wants the job.

What should we send before the first call?

A folder of finished-job photos, the services you sell, the places you serve, and the two or three jobs you would show a neighbor. That is enough for a co-founder to sketch the page list on a video call.
