Website Janitor for Hire

30+ years building, hosting, and ranking websites — I’ll tell you the truth about yours.

Building a website is easy. Doing it correctly is not.

Some of the many “possible” messy website scenarios that I can clean up:

A web designer convinces you to pay them big $$$ for a “pretty website

You pay the website designer big $$$ for your “pretty website” then hope & pray it works out

Usually: Your pretty WordPress website gets little to no organic/free traffic – SEO = organic/free traffic

Sometimes the pretty website designer suggests you pay for Google/Facebook ads to get traffic = pay more $$$

Changes to the “pretty website” are dependent on the web designer which means submitting change requests = pay more $$$

Maybe the animations and graphics on your “pretty website” slow your website down resulting in a bad user experience and/or SEO rankings — Ron’s written about why: glowing gradients hurt your website and the case against website animations.


According to a study by Ahrefs, 91% of all content gets no traffic from Google. This means that even well-designed WordPress sites often fail to attract organic visitors without proper SEO.


Domain name:

You hired/paid a 3rd party to register your domain name, and they disappeared!

You paid a “Domain Registry” company to renew your domain name

You paid a “Domain Listings” company to renew your domain name

Now: Who owns your domain name?

Improper security on your WordPress website and/or webserver (website hosting) resulting in getting hacked

Lack of SSL

Outdated PHP code
Compromised database

Outdated plugins, etc.

Your WordPress website was hacked!

Site compromised or vulnerable? Let’s assess the damage before it gets worse. See what we fix →

You hired a “marketing company” and they:

Ruined your Google analytics

Convinced you to redesign your website using an outdated platform/technology

Convinced you to go with a “cheaper” or a “better known” web hosting company and now your website doesn’t look or work properly

Used a developer who had experience in a different platform, but ended up ruining your WordPress site

An agency left your site worse than they found it? We clean up after that too. Start here →

Cheap web hosting plans that cost 4X-8X as much after the 1st year

1st year cheap web hosting = $3.99 per month

2nd year not so cheap web hosting = $49.99 per month

3rd year definitely not cheap web hosting = $69.99 per month

Slow, sluggish performance – usually due to sharing web server resources with numerous other websites

“cheap” web hosting almost always = shared hosting

NO security, theme, plugin updates (maintenance) = potential for hacking/crashing your website

LIMITED/NO SUPPORT when you have issues = pay more $$$

Now you have to pay extra for a “maintenance plan

DIY gone wrong – doing it yourself to “save money” sounds great until you run into issues that take more time to solve than it’s worth

Shopify – “Start for free, then… $$$”

Squarespace – “Free for 14 days”

Building a website is easy. Doing it correctly is not.

You, or someone on your team used AI – ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot to figure out how to make changes on a website – aka: “how hard can it be?” and the site is now messed up or worse: broken.

Built it yourself and it got away from you? That’s exactly what this service is for. See what we fix →


A survey by Clutch found that nearly 30% of small businesses that built their own websites reported poor performance or functionality issues, often requiring professional intervention later.


SEO – someone convinced you that they were an “SEO expert”

Now your website is nowhere to be found on the search engines or… worse: now your website is banned from search engines!

You hired someone to import product data into your WordPress website and now you have products showing up that don’t make sense

WooCommerce data feeds/imports are tricky and if not done properly—can and will cause you headaches later

I can cleanup WooCommerce data feed imports so that your website is customer friendly and SEO friendly

GTIN/UPC – Google Merchant Center importing and more

Someone gave access/permissions to your website and they messed it up

You trusted your marketing manager to give persmissions to just anyone to work on your website

Someone on your team thought it was a good idea to let somone access your ADMIN control panel

You found someone on a well-advertised & marketed “freelance” website, and they created a mess on your website

If it sounds too good to be true…

When your current website situation doesn’t work out for you (due to lack of sales, lack of support, product issues, website errors, security concerns, etc.) – contact Ron the Web Guy (aka: website janitor for hire) to clean up the mess created by the “pretty website” designer or “marketing company“.


Common messes, by platform

Every page builder has its own personality — and its own favorite way of quietly breaking. Here’s what shows up most often on each one.

Wix

  • Desktop-only layouts — Wix’s mobile editor lives separately from the desktop one, so elements placed only in the desktop view disappear (or pile on top of each other) on a phone
  • App-store sprawl — years of “let’s just try this app” additions slow the page down long after most of them stopped being used
  • Buried SEO settings — three menus deep and easy to skip, which is how every page ends up sharing the same title tag

Have a messy Wix site? We can clean it up without rebuilding from scratch →

Squarespace

  • Template swaps gone sideways — a mid-life template change reflows every custom code block and image, breaking layout a previous designer built by hand
  • Forms that vanish quietly — Squarespace’s own spam filter can catch a submission with zero error message, so it just never arrives
  • Analytics that look official but aren’t — the built-in dashboard rarely connects properly to Google Search Console, so nobody can see what’s actually happening in search

Squarespace giving you grief? We fix Squarespace messes regularly →

Shopify

  • App pile-up — every “just install this app” checkout add-on loads its own script, until the cart takes ten seconds to open
  • Blank product SEO fields — bulk product imports rarely fill in titles, alt text, or descriptions, so hundreds of products are invisible to search
  • Overwritten theme code — a change made in the theme customizer can silently erase code a previous developer edited directly in the theme files

Shopify app overload slowing things down? That’s a clean-up job →

GoDaddy Website Builder

  • Content that won’t leave — GoDaddy’s builder doesn’t export cleanly, so “switching platforms” really means rebuilding from scratch unless someone saves everything first
  • Renewal price jumps — a friendly intro rate that quietly triples after year one, usually discovered on a suspiciously large credit card statement
  • SEO tools that stop at “on/off” — no real control over schema, sitemaps, or page structure once you need more than the basics

Locked into GoDaddy’s website builder? We can get you out →

Weebly

  • A platform that’s been winding down — Square has been shifting investment away from Weebly for years, so features quietly stop improving even while the bill keeps arriving
  • The same lock-in problem as GoDaddy — content that’s hard to migrate out cleanly if you ever want to leave

Weebly going nowhere? We can migrate you out cleanly →

Webflow

  • A hamburger menu that just… doesn’t — usually an “overflow: hidden” setting clipping it, or a z-index fight it’s losing
  • Forms that look fine in the editor and vanish once published — a required field, a broken email connection, and the submission never arrives
  • Layouts built desktop-first — fixed pixel widths and spacing that break the moment the screen gets narrower
  • Scroll animations that fire at the wrong moment — or not at all — on anything that isn’t the exact screen size they were designed on
  • A site that’s flawless in Chrome and slightly cursed in Safari — iOS handles sticky positioning and backdrop-filter differently, and that’s the whole story

Webflow behaving badly? We fix it →


If you’ve patched the same problem twice, it might be time to stop patching. See website clean-up services to find out whether a fix or a fully managed rebuild makes more sense for your site — without losing your content, images, or rankings either way.

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.

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!
