Wilmington web design, answered

A Wilmington website built for houses from before 1980

A website for a Wilmington service business has one job: turn the visitor into a call or a quote request. Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites with that job in mind, and the housing here shapes what goes on them. With 78.9% of Wilmington’s homes built before 1980, the site should show that you have worked on houses like theirs.

Photos from your own jobs go first on every page, with the neighborhood, the age of the house and what you fixed. The estimate form asks for the job and the photos that decide the price, and the phone number stays on screen for the visitor who would rather call than scroll.

The Wilmington market

What the city’s housing asks of a website

Only 6.2% of Wilmington’s homes went up in 2010 or later, so the city’s housing is mostly older. A site that leads with new-build galleries answers a different customer than the one who owns an older house.

The city’s median home value is $231,400 and the county’s is $352,200. A remodeler working both sides of that line can use two sets of project photos, one for city houses and one for the suburbs.

Trades in New Castle County

Which Wilmington trades a site has to sell

The county has 271 residential remodelers, 73 new home builders and 80 painting contractors. A remodeler’s site needs a gallery for each kind of project and a page for each town, since a kitchen in Trolley Square and an addition in the suburbs need different photos.

Repair trades need the opposite. A plumbing company, one of 188 in the county, wants the phone number and the service area at the top of every screen and a photo of the finished repair on every service page.

The build

The steps from first photo to launch

You see the design on a phone and on a desktop before anything is built, and the site goes live only after every form and phone link works.

1

Send the jobs you want more of

You send photos, the services you sell and the towns you cover, plus a call about the work you turn down.

2

Review the design on a phone

You approve the layout with the phone number, the photos and the quote form where a customer looks first.

3

Build and test on WordPress

Every form, call link and page speed check runs before launch, and GA4 and call tracking go in with the site.

4

Launch, then walk you through it

Your domain, hosting and WordPress login are in your name, and a private Loom walkthrough shows you where each edit lives.

A Portland glass company’s site, search and ads

Websites for Wilmington and the towns it serves

A site that takes jobs in Bear, Newark or Middletown can give each town a page with its own photos and project types. Chester, Philadelphia and Norristown sit in Pennsylvania, so their pills name the state. Every city Lithium covers is on the Delaware page.

Published price

What a Wilmington website costs

$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

Before you pay for a Wilmington website

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What pushes a build past the typical price?

Page count and the extras push it up: a gallery for every project type, a page for each town you cover, or booking that talks to your calendar. You get that price in writing before any work starts, and the typical figure covers most builds.

Whose name is on the domain and the hosting?

Yours. The domain, the hosting account and the WordPress login are set up in your name, so the site, the pages and the photos stay with you if you ever move on. Lithium builds in your accounts, not ours.

What happens to the pages Google already ranks?

Redirects come first. Any old address with traffic or links points to its new page before launch, and we check Search Console in the week after launch. Rankings can move in either direction after a rebuild, so we watch them and never promise them.

Can someone on my team edit the pages after launch?

It runs on WordPress, so the words, the photos and a new finished job are all edits, not code. A private Loom walkthrough shows you where each one lives. If nobody wants that job, the optional hosting and maintenance plan can look after the server, the daily backups, the software and security updates and the small edits.

What do you need from us before the build starts?

You send a folder of job photos, the services you want more of and the towns you work in. The copy comes from those and from one conversation with you, and no page goes live before you have seen it.
