Ellensburg Web Design

Web design, managed hosting, and local SEO for Ellensburg small businesses — since 1996.

Ron the Web Guy has designed and hosted websites for Ellensburg businesses for 30 years — longer than most web agencies have existed. From static HTML to custom hand coding, Ron has done it all. These days Ron uses the tried & true WordPress platform based on 30 years of small business web presence experience.

One of those early Ellensburg projects was the Ellensburg Telephone Company website — built in the late 1990s when connecting a local phone company to the public internet was genuinely novel work.

WordPress has more than doubled its market share over that time, from 21% of all websites in 2014 to 41.5% today (W3Techs, July 2026). Ellensburg clients include Central Plumbing, Basic Septic, Carrell Crane & Heavy Hauling, Cross Valley Training, and Kittitas Valley Trail Riders.

Based on 33 reviews

Ramona G.

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.

David D.

Ron and his team were very friendly, quick, and professional. They got our new website up and running faster then originally anticipated and that is impressive. They are also very knowledgeable and easy to work with!

Michael C.

Expert professional work, that all began over 20 years ago, when many of us hadn’t a clue as to what a forward slash was. Ron does it correctly the first time and runs with you as you grow. Invest wisely in your project, work with the “Ron the Web Guy”

We had paid 2 other companies to help us over the years for our advertising both companies were a joke and both we ended up having the worst experience. Now since Ron the Web Guy came on board he has taken countless hours fixing the issues with our website, social networking sites. We are grateful for Ron for taking the time to help us out. If you're looking for a better website boosting your presence give Ron the Web Guy a try. We are more than happy we did. Also he saved us money on monthly payments can't forget that.

Gary S.

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. We look at Ron as a valuable business partner and look forward to his continued support and help in the future.

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!

How to choose a web designer in Ellensburg

Most web designers build your site and disappear. Before hiring anyone for your Ellensburg business, ask three questions:

1. Do they maintain sites after launch? A WordPress site that is not regularly updated becomes a security liability within months. Ron’s hosting plan handles updates, backups, and monitoring.
2. Do they understand local SEO for Kittitas County? Getting found on Google in Ellensburg is different from ranking in Seattle. The competition, query volumes, and local pack signals are different. Ron has worked in this market for 30 years.
3. Can you reach them when something breaks? Ron answers his own phone: (425) 243-7239. No support ticket.

Frequently asked questions about web design in Ellensburg, WA

How much does a WordPress website cost for an Ellensburg small business?

See the full Ellensburg portfolio →

How do I get my Ellensburg business found on Google Maps?

Appearing in Google’s local pack (the map results) for Ellensburg searches requires three things: a fully optimized and verified Google Business Profile, NAP consistency (your name, address, and phone number matching exactly across all online directories), and a city landing page that tells Google where you operate and what you do. Ron handles all three as part of every new website project. 98% of consumers used the internet to find local business information in 2023 (BrightLocal, 2024).

Does my Ellensburg business need a local web designer or can I use a national agency?

A national agency will not know that Ellensburg is the county seat of Kittitas County, that the primary industries are agriculture, Central Washington University, and tourism, or which local search queries actually have volume. That market knowledge directly affects how pages are structured, which keywords are worth targeting, and which competitors you are actually up against. Ron has worked in the Ellensburg market since 1996 — that context is not something a national template shop can replicate.

Do I even need a website for my Ellensburg business?

Your Google Business Profile gets you on the map. Your website gets you everywhere else. A GBP alone won’t rank for “Ellensburg plumber,” “Ellensburg electrician,” or any specific service query — those results go to businesses with dedicated pages. You also don’t own your GBP. Google can suspend it without warning. You own your website.

AI search tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews pull answers from website content, not Business Profiles. An Ellensburg business with no website is increasingly invisible in AI-generated results. In 2026, a website matters more than ever — not less.

Looking for an “eburg” web designer?

Ellensburg locals have called it “eburg” for decades — and if that’s what brought you here, you’re in the right place. Ron the Web Guy has been the go-to web designer for eburg businesses since 1996. Same quality, same person, same phone: (425) 243-7239.
