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

Ron the Web Guy offers three WordPress website design packages: Starter at $995 one-time (hosting from $29.95/month), Standard at $1,995 one-time (hosting from $49.95/month), and eCommerce at $7,995 one-time (hosting from $99.95/month). All packages include Rank Math SEO, security plugin, responsive design, and managed WordPress hosting.

What is included in Ron the Web Guy's WordPress website design packages?

All packages include Rank Math SEO plugin, basic analytics setup, security plugin, WordPress core and security updates, plugin updates, fully responsive design, and managed hosting. You own your website outright — it is not locked into a subscription platform.

Will I own my WordPress website after Ron builds it?

Yes. All Ron the Web Guy website packages transfer full ownership to the client. You own the domain, the files, and the content. Hosting is a separate monthly service — if you ever move to a different host, you keep your content and images.

What is the difference between the Starter, Standard, and eCommerce WordPress packages?

The Starter package ($995) is designed for personal or single-location small business websites. The Standard package ($1,995) is for businesses that need more pages, content, or functionality. The eCommerce package ($7,995) includes WooCommerce setup for businesses selling products or services online. All three include managed hosting, SEO setup, and security.

WordPress Website Design

Building a website is easy. Building one that drives results is not.

Ron the Web Guy builds WordPress websites for small businesses — fast, clean, and built for local search. No bloated page builders. No flashy animations. No designs that look great but rank nowhere. Every site is built with SEO at the foundation and hosted on Ron’s managed VPS servers.

How we approach web design

No bloated page builders — no Elementor, no Divi. Standard WordPress block editor. Fast, clean, easy to update.
Custom WordPress websites — designed from scratch to match your brand, service area, and specific conversion goals. Right for businesses that need differentiation or have complex page and functionality requirements.
Lightweight WordPress websites — carefully selected themes that load fast, rank well, and look professional without the overhead of a full custom build. Right for most small businesses that need a clean, effective site quickly and at a lower price point.
Built for results, not awards — Fast, clear websites win customers. We measure success in conversions, Search Console clicks, and lead volume. Not animations and gradients. Read why: glowing gradients hurt your website and the case against website animations.
SEO is built into every website we build — A website that nobody can find is just an expensive business card. Every Ron the Web Guy website includes on-page SEO and technical SEO setup from the start — not as an add-on, not as an afterthought.

We only design websites we host

Every website Ron builds lives on his managed VPS servers. This is not negotiable — and here is why it matters to you.

99% of clients have Ron handle their website updates after launch. That means he is already logging in, making changes, keeping things current. The maintenance and care plan is included with every hosting plan because he is doing that work anyway — you are not paying extra for something that should come standard.

If you are looking for a design-only project to host elsewhere, Ron is not the right fit. If you want one person responsible for building, hosting, securing, and maintaining your site — that is exactly what this is.
