Show customers the work
Web design grounded in the Oakland jobs you do
Lithium Marketing creates WordPress websites that help Oakland service businesses explain their work and earn estimate requests. In Oakland, 76.7% of housing was built before 1980. If your company repairs or improves existing homes, your website should show those jobs in detail, including the problem, your work and the finished result.
A homeowner needs to recognize their kind of project in your services. A property manager needs to know how to arrange a visit. We organize the site around those decisions, using your photos and explanations to put the right information beside the call or estimate button.
Evaluate more than the homepage
A website has to answer the search that brought the visitor
“Web design oakland” receives about 390 searches per month. When choosing a designer, look beyond the first screen: open a service page on a phone and try to ask for an estimate. The design should make it easy to understand the offer, inspect the work and contact the business.
Customers have their own comparison to make: “pest control oakland” also records about 390 searches a month. If you provide that service, your website needs to explain the treatments you offer and what booking involves. A roofer needs equally specific answers about repair and replacement work, with contact options close at hand.

Choose the projects to show
Older properties and newer work need their own examples
The median construction year for Oakland housing is 1953. If your portfolio includes improvements to older properties, explain what your crew changed and what the customer wanted. A caption about access, preparation or the scope of the job is more informative than a gallery with no explanation.
Homes built in 2010 or later make up 7.4% of Oakland's housing. Companies serving newer construction as well as existing properties should show both kinds of work. Keep each example tied to the service you performed, so a finished room or building does not leave visitors guessing about your role.

Design around the buying decision
Give project buyers detail and repair callers a direct next step
Alameda County has 769 residential remodeling establishments. For a remodeler, a project story can explain the original room, the requested changes and the completed work before asking for an estimate. We use that content to help a buyer see the kind of project your company is suited to handle.
New home builders account for 233 establishments in Alameda County. Their websites may need several project pages, while a repair business often needs a prominent service explanation and phone button. Your customers' buying decisions set the balance between project detail and quick contact.

A build within a broader program
Dixie Glass: website work supported by SEO and ads
On the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Dixie Glass received a new website, SEO and Google Ads from Lithium. Its case shows the broader marketing results around that build. Drake Snodgrass of the garden center Drake’s 7 Dees describes his own website and search experience in the quote.
Glass“Lithium has moved us to page 1 in Google search organically. Prior to working with them we spent a huge part of our marketing budget on paid search. Website redesign was a great experience.”

Does your site need to cover more than Oakland?
Compare the web design guides for nearby Berkeley, Hayward and Richmond with those for Daly City, San Mateo and Concord. All are California cities; the Bay Area overview and California directory offer more places to consider for your site's coverage.

FAQ
Getting ready for a website that you own
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Is the typical website price enough for my project?
A service business website typically costs $5,000. A larger build with more service, location or project content needs a separate fixed proposal after discovery. Bring your existing site and the pages you want, and we will explain the scope before you commit to the build.
What will my business own when the site launches?
Your ownership covers the domain, hosting, WordPress installation and all site content. You also receive a walkthrough for editing the website. That gives your business control over its pages and accounts, including the option to use another provider for future work.
How much time should I set aside for the website build?
Allow six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch for a typical project. Your part is to provide business information and photos, then review drafts and designs. We agree on the schedule before starting and identify the decisions needed to keep the build moving.
What if I have only a few good photos of completed jobs?
A small set of well-explained jobs is a sound starting point. Choose images that show the service clearly and tell us what the customer needed and what your crew did. We can build pages around those examples and leave WordPress ready for your team to add more.
Can Lithium handle maintenance once the website is running?
Optional hosting and maintenance is $99/month. It covers hosting, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes. You can choose that support or manage the site elsewhere; ownership of the domain, hosting, WordPress and content remains with your business.
