What the site has to prove

What a Kearney website has to show first

Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites for service businesses in Kearney, and the page plan starts with photos of finished jobs. 46.9% of Kearney homes predate 1980, so a visitor is checking whether the work looks like the house they live in.

Kearney has 34,782 residents and 14,750 housing units, and the site has to work for a customer standing in a driveway with a phone. At a median home value of $244,600, a homeowner has a reason to compare the company's site with its Google listing and its reviews before calling.

The Kearney market

New houses, older houses and the pages that fit

The median Kearney house was built in 1983, and 15.6% of the city's homes went up in 2010 or later, so the newer houses and the older ones are both part of the market. A site that separates new construction, remodel and repair pages lets a customer land on the one that matches the house.

60.6% of the city's occupied homes are owner-occupied, so the site should speak to owners first, with a rental page for the homes a tenant calls about. Kearney covers 15.17 square miles of land, and a service-area page that names the parts of the city a crew covers saves the first call.

Trades in Buffalo County

Project work needs a different page

A project sale needs a project page. Buffalo County's 26 residential remodelers and 27 new home builders should show scope with a gallery, ask for the address and the rooms in the form, and leave the timeline for the estimate.

The repair trades need a different first screen. A roofer, plumber or electrician needs the phone number, the service area and the hours where a thumb can find them, and the project photos can wait until the customer has decided to call.

The build

The build, from first photo to launch

You approve the mobile and desktop designs before the build, and the site goes live only after every form and phone link has been tested.

1

Bring the finished jobs

Photos and details from finished jobs shape the page plan, and the copy comes from a call with you.

2

Look at the phone layout

The mobile design comes first, because that is the screen a customer pulls out in the driveway.

3

Test the buttons and the forms

Every phone link and form gets tested on a real handset, and GA4 plus call tracking go live with the site.

4

Switch the links over

The old URLs point at their new pages before launch, and a private Loom recording teaches your team the editing screen.

Proof from a restoration company

Robinson Restoration came to Lithium for a new website and SEO, and its organic traffic is what the card reports. Matt Johnson, from his time running On-Target Landscape, is the quote beside it.

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.

FAQ

What a Kearney owner asks before a rebuild

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What pushes a website past the typical price?

More pages, more copy and more photography than a service business usually carries. A contractor with a deep project archive, or one who wants the site to cover several cities and services in depth, gets a fixed proposal for that larger build before work starts, so the number does not move after the fact.

What do you need from us before the design starts?

A few finished jobs with photos, the services you want to sell and the cities you cover. We write the copy and set the page plan from those, and you approve both before the build begins.

Can we edit the site ourselves after launch?

You can. The site and domain are yours, and it runs on WordPress, so text, photos and new job pages are editable without code; the private Loom walkthrough shows how. If nobody on your team wants to make a change, the optional hosting plan can do the basic ones.

What does the optional hosting plan cover?

The $99 monthly plan covers secure private hosting, daily backups, software and security updates and basic website changes. It is optional and it is separate from the build, so the site can be hosted anywhere you choose.

How do you handle photos of our work?

We build the gallery from your job photos. Send the ones that show the range: a repair, a full replacement and a project that matches the houses in your area. If the photos are phone shots, that is fine; a clear before-and-after beats a stock image.
