Web design in Lakeland, Florida

The build, explained

What a Lakeland website has to do

Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites for Lakeland service businesses, with the phone number, the services and the finished work where a customer looks first. Every ad, search result and directory listing points at the site, so it carries the whole job of turning a visit into a call.

The houses set the content. With 45% of Lakeland’s housing built before 1980, a roofer, a plumber or a painter working here can show repair and replacement jobs on houses of that age, and that is what a homeowner comparing three quotes wants to see.

The Lakeland market

Older houses, newer subdivisions

Lakeland has 54,896 housing units, and 12.4% of them went up in 2010 or later. A newer home often calls for finish work and upgrades; an older one often calls for repair and replacement, so a site that shows only one kind of job speaks to only one of them.

The median Lakeland home is worth $249,400. At that value, the site has to earn the call with proof: photos of finished jobs, the materials you work with and a clear next step.

Trades in Polk County

Project trades and repair trades want different sites

Polk County lists 260 residential remodelers and 122 new home builders. A remodeler sells a months-long job, so the site has to show completed rooms and additions, the crew at work and a short form for a project request.

The repair side wants the opposite. With 231 plumbing, heating and air conditioning contractors in the county, a plumber’s site puts the phone number, the service area and the hours at the top, and keeps the galleries for the page about replacements.

The build

What decides the shape of a Lakeland site

You review the design on a phone and on a desktop before launch, and the pages are written from your own jobs.

1

Plan the site structure

Your services and the areas worth a page set the page list, and each page gets one job to do.

2

Collect the proof

Finished-job photos, the materials you use and the areas you cover become the copy and the galleries.

3

Review on two screens

You see the design at phone and desktop width, with the call button, quote form and project photos in place.

4

Test, switch, walk through

Every form and call link gets tested, old URLs get redirected, and your team gets a private Loom tour before the first edit.

What every Lithium website includes

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

Dixie Glass: a new website with SEO and ads behind it

Dixie Glass, a glass company, has served the Mississippi Gulf Coast since 1946, and Lithium built its website and ran its SEO and Google Ads, so the card next to this shows what that work produced. Chris Martin of Mt. Hood Pro Painting gives his own account alongside it.

“Ever since we've used Lithium Marketing, our phone has been ringing off the hook and we can hardly keep up with the leads we get from Google, Facebook or through our website. Most of our leads other than referrals are through Google and it's all because of Lithium Marketing.”

Beyond Lakeland

Websites for the cities your crews reach

A rebuild can add a page for the neighboring cities your crews reach. Brandon, Tampa, Spring Hill, St. Petersburg, Orlando and Clearwater all have a web design page here, and the state page lists every city.

Published price

What a Lakeland website costs

$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.

FAQ

Questions that come before a Lakeland rebuild

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Why would a site cost more than $5,000?

Size, mostly. A company with one location and eight services fits the typical build. Add a gallery of forty projects, a page for each of six cities or a second brand, and the scope grows before the price does. You get the bigger number in writing before any work starts.

Do we need a page for every city we serve?

Only for the ones you want calls from. A city page earns its place when the search there names both the service and the town, and the city pages below carry their own search numbers, so you can see which nearby cities are worth one.

How long does a build take?

Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch for a typical service business site, and the schedule is set before work starts. Bigger sites with more pages take longer, and you see the calendar before you commit.

Can my team edit the site after launch?

Text, photos and new finished jobs can all be changed by your own team, with no code involved. The Loom tour shows where each piece lives, and the optional $99 a month plan takes over hosting, daily backups, software and security updates and basic changes.

How much of my time will the build take?

Plan on a kickoff call, a design review and a read of the first pages. We write the copy and choose the photos with you, so most of the work lands on our side.
