A site a customer can use
McAllen website design that starts with your last job
A homeowner in McAllen can open several contractor sites before calling one. Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress websites that put your finished jobs, your service list and a tap-to-call button in front of that homeowner on the first screen.
McAllen's median home was built in 1995, and 25.4% of McAllen's housing went up before 1980. An older house means repair, upgrade and patch work that a photo explains faster than a paragraph, which is why the gallery comes before the sales copy.
What McAllen searches for
Design searches are small next to the trade searches
“web design mcallen” and “website design mcallen” each draw 90 searches a month. That is a small pool, and the trade searches are where the calls are. A customer can meet a contractor in those listings first.
Take the “plumber mcallen” results page we checked: Angi, Facebook and Yelp held three of the top 10 spots. A customer who leaves a directory for your site has already read one version of your business, so the site should not read like a different company. Keep the name and phone number identical, and let the photos carry what the profile could not.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|
| web design mcallen | 90 | not reported |
| website design mcallen | 90 | not reported |
| web designer mcallen | under 10 | not reported |

The housing behind the work
What the housing stock says to put on the page
McAllen's median home value is $190,400, and 59.5% of McAllen's occupied homes belong to their owners. A site that treats every visitor as a price shopper misses the owner who wants to see a finished kitchen, a repaired roof or a replaced panel before calling.
Newer homes make up 18.0% of McAllen's housing, and older homes make up the rest. The two need different photos and different pages: repair work for the older houses, finish work and upgrades for the newer ones.

Trades in Hidalgo County
Project trades need galleries, repair trades need speed
New home builders number 124 in Hidalgo County, and residential remodelers 71. Their buyers want to see finished rooms, full houses and the details of a build, so a gallery and a page for each kind of project do more than a services list.
A repair trade lives on the phone. An electrical contractor among the county's 85 needs the number at the top of every screen and a page that loads fast in a driveway. A painting contractor is a different sale: 13 in the county, and the buyer wants a finished-room gallery beside a quote form that works on a phone.

The build
From your job photos to a live site
We start with your photos and service list, review the design on a phone and a desktop, then test every link and form before launch.
1
Start from your best ten jobs
You send photos of finished work and the list of services behind them, and we write the copy from those jobs, not from a template.
2
Draw it for a thumb first
The first design you see is the phone version, and the desktop version follows it.
3
Build and test every form
We build each page in WordPress and test every form, phone link and tracking tag before launch, so a broken one cannot go unnoticed.
4
Open the doors and hand over the logins
We redirect the old pages Google already trusts and record a private Loom walkthrough that shows you how to change text and swap photos yourself.

A client case
The rebuild, the search pages and the ads behind a septic company
Byers Septic Service used Lithium for three pieces of work: a new website, SEO and Google Ads, and the card's numbers come from all three. Marc Rickabaugh of Rickabaugh Construction describes the website and SEO work in the quote beside it.
Septic“We used the team at Lithium Marketing to update our website and increase our SEO. We couldn't have been happier with the results! We receive compliments about our updated website on a regular basis!”

Published price
The price of a McAllen website build
$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.
What does $5,000 buy on a McAllen website?
You get a typical service-business site: six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch, WordPress, your service pages, job photos, tap-to-call and tracking. A larger site with many project galleries gets a fixed proposal after a discovery call.
Who owns the site, the domain and the content?
The domain, the hosting, the WordPress install and the pages are all registered in your name, so they stay with you if the relationship ends. Nothing sits in a Lithium account.
Can we edit the site after launch?
Text and photos are editable without code, because it is WordPress. A private Loom recording shows your team how, and the optional $99 a month plan adds hosting, daily backups, software and security updates and basic website changes for anyone who would rather not touch it.
What should we have ready before the first design?
Ten good photos, the services each one shows and the towns your crews cover. The kickoff call is where we agree the copy and the page list.
What happens to the pages we already rank with?
We map each old page to its closest new one and redirect the addresses that earn traffic or links, then watch Search Console for the first weeks after launch. The rankings are Google's call, but the pages it already trusts keep pointing at the same services.
