Websites for Salem, Oregon contractors

Web design that gives Salem customers a reason to call you.

Salem contractors get a WordPress website built from their own job photos and Salem service areas, and they own every page, photo and the domain.

Built for Salem buyers

What a Salem customer should see on your website

Lithium Marketing builds WordPress websites for Salem contractors around one question every visitor brings: has this company done work like mine? The median Salem home was built in 1980, so if repairs and upgrades on houses from that era are a big part of your work, those projects belong near the top of the home page, with photos and a line on what you fixed.

Only 12.4% of Salem’s homes were built in 2010 or later. If you build or finish new homes, give that work its own gallery anyway, so a buyer looking for new construction finds it without scrolling past repair jobs.

Salem’s housing and weather

Older county housing and a dry summer to plan around

Across Marion County, 51.4% of homes were built before 1980. If you take jobs throughout the county, give older-home projects a section of their own, with before-and-after photos sorted by job type.

Salem’s dry season runs from May through September, and rain is heaviest in late fall and throughout winter. If your bookings change with the weather, as they can for roofers, painters and landscapers, the site should make seasonal work easy to find: exterior and outdoor services up front ahead of the dry months, leak and drainage repairs once the rain starts.

The trade mix

Big-project trades sell with photos, repair trades with speed

Builders, remodelers and painters are three of the four largest groups in the Marion County chart, at 329 new home builders, 171 residential remodelers and 159 painting contractors. The person hiring one of them is weighing a large or very visible job, so the site leads with finished projects, grouped by type, each with a sentence on what the job involved.

Repair work runs the other way. With 89 electrical contractors in Marion County, an electrician or plumber whose customer has a problem today needs the phone number, hours and service area at the top of every page, ahead of any gallery.

Start to launch

From your job photos to a live Salem site

Nothing goes live until you have approved the design and copy and we have placed a test call from every page.

1

Choose the work to feature

Out of your recent job photos, we pick the projects that best show the work you want more of, and a kickoff call fills in the details the copy needs.

2

Start at phone size

Your design starts on a phone screen: call button, service list and two or three strong photos above the first scroll, reviewed on your own phone before the desktop version is drawn.

3

Build and test on WordPress

The pages go up on WordPress, and then we try to break them: test submissions on every form, test calls from every number and tracking checked in GA4 before launch day.

4

Move over without losing ground

Before the switch, every old page with traffic or links gets mapped to its new address. After launch we watch Search Console for errors and send you a short screen recording on editing your own pages.

What every Lithium website includes

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

F&W Fence Co.: new website, SEO and Google Ads from Lithium

Lithium built F&W Fence Co. a new website and ran its SEO and Google Ads, and the card’s figures come from those three working together. Daniel Busby, president of Willard Power Vac, which cleans air ducts, dryer vents and chimneys, speaks to Lithium’s work in his quote.

FAQ

Salem website questions owners ask

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Will my site come in above the typical $5,000?

Probably not, since about 90% of builds land at $5,000. Larger sites, such as one with dozens of project pages or a page for every city you serve, get a fixed proposal before any work starts.

Will the site and domain be in my name?

Yes. The domain, the hosting account and the WordPress install are in your name, every page and photo belongs to you, and all of it stays yours if you ever leave Lithium. Hosting and maintenance from Lithium are optional, at $99 a month.

How long does a Salem website take to build?

Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch is typical. The pace depends mostly on how quickly photos, service details and your approvals come back, and you see each stage before it moves on.

Can a new website help my Google rankings?

It can, when search is part of the build. That means a page for each service, fast load times on a phone, clean code and redirects that carry over what your old site earned. Ongoing SEO is a separate service, and the site is built so it can be added later.

Who writes the words on the site?

Lithium does. Every page is written from your service list, a kickoff call and the jobs in your photos, and you review the copy before launch.
