The site a Newark customer sees

What a Newark website has to show in the first screen

Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites for Newark service businesses. Each build starts with the work itself: the jobs a customer would recognize, the questions they ask before they call, and the two or three ways they might get in touch.

The median home in Newark went up in 1978. Houses of that age are where repair, replacement and remodel pages earn their keep, so the gallery leads with kitchens, roofs, panels and yards from homes like your customers'.

The Newark market

Who asks for the work, and what the site should do about it

Who requests the work matters as much as how the site looks. 50.7% of Newark's occupied homes have an owner living in them, so some requests will come from a tenant, a landlord or a property manager, and the form should ask who can approve the job and where the property sits.

The median home value is $382,500, and the city has 9,921 housing units. A rental turnover and an owner-occupied remodel are different requests, so they deserve different pages and different questions before anyone quotes a price.

Trades in the county

The first screen a Newark trade needs

Builders and excavators sell work that starts as a drawing. New Castle County has 73 new home builders and 61 excavation and site preparation contractors, and their sites need a gallery that shows the property before and after, a form that captures scope and timing, and project pages that carry the drawings.

Finish trades sell a look. A painting contractor, one of 80 in New Castle County, needs rooms photographed in daylight and a form that asks which rooms and when, because the choice is made with the eyes before the phone is picked up. The number still belongs at the top, but the photographs are what earn the call.

The build

How a Newark website gets from brief to launch

Nothing goes live until you have seen the design, the pages and the forms, and every phone link has been tested.

1

Start with the jobs you want more of

Tell us which services and towns should bring the next jobs. The page list and the copy get built from that, not from a template.

2

Write the words before the layout

The service pages, the project stories and the questions a Newark customer asks get written first, and the layout is built around that text.

3

Test the forms on a real phone

Every quote form, phone link and tracking tag gets tested on a real phone before launch, not only in a browser.

4

Plan the switch before launch day

Redirects go in first, the domain and hosting stay in accounts you control, and a recorded walkthrough shows how to edit a page.

What every Lithium website includes

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

Proof

What the work did for Sarkinen Plumbing

Sarkinen Plumbing, a Portland-area plumber, hired Lithium to rebuild its website and to run its SEO and Google Ads. The card shows what that combination produced, and Drake Snodgrass of Drake's 7 Dees, a landscaping and garden company, describes the team from his own business.

Around Newark

Websites for the towns a Newark contractor covers

The site can carry a service-area page for every town a contractor covers, and the web design pages below show how that reads in the nearby cities. Chester and Norristown sit on the Pennsylvania side, and Dover is on the Delaware list.

Published price

What a build costs a Newark business

$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

What Newark owners ask before a rebuild

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What decides how many pages a Newark site needs?

The services you want found and the towns you serve. A one-trade company working in Newark alone can do it with a service page, a gallery and a contact page, while a remodeler covering New Castle County needs separate pages for the project types and towns that earn them. Whatever the count, the price is a fixed proposal before work starts.

Who owns the domain and the hosting?

Your business does. The domain registration, the hosting account and the WordPress login are set up in your name, and the site files and photos go with them. If you ever move to another agency, nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch.

What happens to the pages Google already ranks?

Every address that has traffic or links gets a redirect to its new page before the switch, and Search Console gets watched for a few weeks after. Rankings can move while Google re-crawls, so the redirects and the sitemap are the protection, not a promise that positions stay frozen.

Can we edit the site after launch?

You can. WordPress is the editor, so a new page, a swapped photo or a changed paragraph does not need a developer. The optional $99 a month hosting and maintenance plan covers daily backups, software and security updates, and basic changes if you would rather send them to us.

How much of our time does a rebuild take?

Plan on a kickoff call, a list of photos and a few reviews of the design and copy. We write the copy and build the pages, and you approve the design and the words at each stage. The schedule is agreed before work starts, so nobody is guessing about launch week.
