Web design, start to finish

A New York City website built around older buildings

The website is where your SEO and ads send people, and Lithium Marketing builds it for New York City service businesses to do one job: turn the visit into a call. In New York City the median home was built in 1952, and 78.9% of homes went up before 1980, so your project pages should look like the places your customers live: older apartments and buildings, each with a note on what you found and what you fixed.

As of 2025, New York City had the highest residential rent costs of any American city. If landlords and property managers hire you to keep rental units working, give them a page of their own that covers how you schedule around tenants, how you bill and how to reach you fast.

The housing stock

Old buildings, few new ones, and what your gallery should show

Brooklyn’s housing is older still: in Kings County the median home was built in 1944. Brooklyn is also known for a distinctive architectural heritage, so if you restore, repair or repaint older buildings there, photos that show the original details you kept will do more for your site than any stock image.

Only 6.8% of the city’s housing was built in 2010 or later. If you build new or take buildings down to the studs, give that work its own gallery page, apart from the repair jobs, so a customer planning a big project finds it fast.

Trades in Brooklyn

Remodelers and pest companies need different websites

Kings County has 1,378 residential remodelers, the largest group on the chart. A remodeler’s site has to stand apart from that many others through specifics: a project page for each type of job, the borough and scope of each one, and the owner’s name and face on the about page.

A pest control company, one of 105 in Kings County, needs the opposite: the pests you treat, the boroughs you cover and the phone number, all before the first scroll. Photos matter less here than how fast a visitor reaches the call button.

The build

Building your New York website, step by step

Your photos and your sign-off drive each stage; we handle the writing, the build and the testing.

1

Kickoff call and photo pull

On the kickoff call we go through your services and the boroughs you work in, and you pick the job photos that show your best work. We write the copy.

2

Approve the design on your phone

You review the layouts on your own phone first, with the call button, your boroughs and your photos placed where a visitor sees them.

3

Build, then test every path to a call

Pages go up on WordPress with GA4, call tracking and schema in place, and we test each form and phone link the way a customer would.

4

Launch and learn to edit it

The site goes live after a final check on phones and desktops, and you get a private Loom video showing how to make your own edits.

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

Proof

Sarkinen Plumbing: website, SEO and Google Ads working together

Sarkinen Plumbing is a plumber in the Portland area. Its new website came from Lithium, along with the SEO and Google Ads that ran beside it, so read the card as the result of all three. The quote is Matt Johnson’s, from his time running On-Target Landscape.

FAQ

Website questions from New York contractors

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What makes a New York website cost more than the typical build?

Size. A site with far more pages than a typical service business site, such as a large project archive or dozens of separate service pages, gets its own quote up front. Your trade and your photos don’t change the price; the page count does.

Do I own the site if I stop working with Lithium?

Yes. The domain, hosting account, WordPress install and content are in your name from the start, so the whole site goes with you if you leave. Nothing about it is rented from us.

How long does a new website take?

Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch is typical. Most of that time goes to writing, your design review and testing, and the schedule moves faster when your photos and feedback come back quickly.

What happens to my old site’s pages and rankings?

They carry over through redirects. Before launch, every old page with traffic or links gets pointed at its new address, and we check Search Console after the switch for anything that slipped. Rankings can shift during any rebuild, and the redirects protect what you have already earned.

Do you host and maintain the site after launch?

If you want us to. Optional hosting and maintenance is $99 a month and covers secure hosting, daily backups, software and security updates and basic changes. Because the site is yours, you can also host it anywhere and have your team edit pages in WordPress.
