A site built around the work

What a Troy website has to prove

The median home in Troy was built in 1938, and Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites for service businesses that work on houses like that. A customer in an old house may want proof that you have handled one before, so the photos, the project details and the service pages do the selling.

Troy has 24,818 housing units and a median home value of $206,500, and Troy is noted for its Victorian architecture. That stock gives a contractor plenty to photograph: porches, trim, masonry and the details a gallery of stock photos never shows.

The housing behind the work

What Troy's housing stock asks of a website

5.0% of Troy homes were built in 2010 or later, so the housing a local gallery can show is mostly older. A gallery needs captions that name the job, because a repair on an old row house is a different project from a new build.

A quote form in Troy should ask who owns the property. Owner-occupied homes make up 37.4% of Troy's occupied units, so the person asking for the estimate may be a tenant while the owner approves it.

The trades that need a site

Which Troy trades the site has to serve

Rensselaer County has 86 residential remodelers, the largest trade group on the county chart, and 21 painting contractors. A remodeler's site needs project pages and a gallery; a painter's needs a page for prep and finish, and a gallery of finished rooms.

Rensselaer County also has 18 new home builders. A builder's site carries plans, elevations and a different kind of proof than a plumber's repair page, so the navigation changes with the trade.

The build

How the Troy site comes together

You approve each stage, and nothing goes live until the phone links, forms and tracking have been tested.

1

What we need from you first

A dozen photos of finished jobs, your service list and the towns or neighborhoods you cover.

2

Map the site before it is designed

We list the pages, their order and the wording, and you sign off on that outline.

3

Design the small screen first

The phone layout gets the call button and quote form where a thumb reaches them; the desktop version follows.

4

Test every link, then launch

We test every form and phone link, fix anything broken, and record the walkthrough so you can rewatch it.

What every Lithium website includes

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

A restoration company

Robinson Restoration bought a new website and SEO

Robinson Restoration hired Lithium for a website and SEO, the two pieces behind the numbers on the card. Daniel Busby, who runs Willard Power Vac, supplies the quote beside it; his company cleans chimneys, dryer vents and air ducts.

Beyond the city line

Pages for the towns your crews serve

A website can carry a page for each city your crews serve, with local housing notes and your job photos. Albany, Schenectady and Poughkeepsie are linked below, as are Bennington and Rutland in Vermont and Springfield in Massachusetts; the New York page ties the set together.

Published price

What a Troy website costs and what changes it

$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

Questions to settle before a Troy rebuild

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

When does a Troy website cost more than the typical price?

Cost rises when the page count does. A page per service and a page for each town you cover multiply the writing and design work, so the larger figure gets fixed in a written proposal first.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

Your business does, and that includes the domain. We build in WordPress and hand over the logins, so the site is an asset you keep, not a rental.

Who updates the site after launch?

Your team can, because it runs on WordPress. Text, photos and newly finished jobs are edits, not a rebuild. We record a walkthrough for whoever will make them, and the logins stay with your business.

Will a move to a new site cost us the rankings we have?

A planned move can keep the pages Google trusts connected. Old addresses get forwarded to their new pages, and we watch Search Console around launch. Positions can still shift, and no one can promise they will not.

What should we send before the first design call?

Your service list, a folder of job photos and the towns or neighborhoods you want to appear on the site. That is enough for us to map the pages. We write the copy and send it to you for edits before design starts.
