Ron is a pleasure to work with. His deep experience and listening to understand what our needs were and to present some different options for our websites gave me confidence that our project was in good hands. Ron made it easy for me to make informed decisions by presenting me with clearly laid out choices. He's friendly and easy to work with, and his communication is timely and easy to understand. He got the job done for us and made sure we were happy with the result.

Ron the Web Guy helped us update our community website and provided us with an excellent security package for less than what we were paying for a Go Daddy site with no security options. He does great work and I would highly recommend him.

With web sites, it's all about the experience. Easy navigation, staying on top of trends, making sure things run the way they're supposed to seem simple and straightforward, but often not the case. That's why we work with Ron The Web Guy. He knows his stuff. His suggestions and solutions are well thought out and executable. He's helped us improve our SEO, traffic and security.

Ron re-designed our website for Totallytailspetcare.com and it is working awesome!! It was a pleasure to work with Ron on new formatting, security package & some color/graphic advice. He is very professional & easy to work with! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has a website.

Herb B.

Ron does great work at a reasonable price. I had some issues with my current web host losing 13 years worth of emails. Ron helped me get my emails recovered and moved over to a gmail server. Thanks Ron!

Frequently asked questions

How much does web design cost for a small business?

A custom WordPress website starts at $995 for a simple 3–5 page site, with most full business websites running between $1,500 and $8,000 depending on the number of pages, functionality, and whether eCommerce is included. Managed hosting starts at $29.95/month. Every project starts with a free consultation and a written proposal — no mystery pricing.

Do you work with businesses outside Washington state?

Yes. Ron the Web Guy designs, hosts, and does SEO for small businesses across all 50 states. The workflow is fully remote — strategy, design, and communication all happen via phone, email, and screen share. Most clients never meet in person regardless of location. If you’re a small business owner anywhere in the US, the process is the same.

How long does it take for SEO to work?

For most small business websites, expect initial ranking improvements in 4–8 weeks and meaningful traffic gains in 90–120 days. Local SEO moves faster than national SEO — competition in a mid-size or small city is less entrenched than in major metro markets. Google Business Profile optimization and local citations can produce visible map pack movement within 30 days when the fundamentals are in place.

Does my business need a WordPress website?

WordPress is the right choice for most small businesses. It has the deepest SEO plugin ecosystem available — over 60,000 free plugins in the official WordPress.org directory alone (WordPress.org, 2026) — and keeps your content and data under your control, not locked inside a Wix or Squarespace subscription you cannot export. The main exception is businesses that need enterprise-scale eCommerce, where WooCommerce or Shopify may be more appropriate. A free consultation will tell you which platform fits your business.
