What I do

Build it. Maintain it. Grow it.

A full-stack partner for your online presence — not three different vendors who blame each other when something breaks.

Care plans

Your website, fully managed.

Most small business owners don't want to think about WordPress updates, SSL certificates, or whether their backups actually work. So I take care of all of it — and add the AI tools that bring in customers while you sleep.

Why most small business sites fail

A pretty website isn't a salesperson.

Most small business sites are built once, then forgotten. Plugins go stale, SSL certs expire, page speed crawls, and the form quietly stops sending leads. Six months later you're paying for a website that's actively losing you business.

  • Loads in 6+ seconds and leaks 40% of mobile visitors before the hero finishes.
  • No one watching for security updates, broken forms, or downtime.
  • Hosting that triples in price at renewal — and is somehow still slow.
What I do differently

Built once. Tuned every month.

I'm not just a builder — I'm your ongoing partner. Care plans keep your site fast, secure, and improving. AI tools handle the busy work so you can focus on running your business.

  • Sub-1.5s LCP on mobile, monitored every month.
  • One human partner — not three vendors blaming each other.
  • AI handles content, leads, and reviews while you sleep.

FAQ

Common questions, straight answers.

Don't see yours? Just ask.

How much does a website cost? +

Most small business sites land between $1,500 and $4,500 — flat rate, no per-page nonsense. Care plans start at $79/mo, managed hosting at $29/mo. You get a fixed quote upfront.

What's included in a care plan? +

All plans cover updates, backups, security, and uptime monitoring. Higher tiers add SEO health checks, more edit time, performance tuning, and quarterly strategy calls.

Do I need a care plan if my site is already built? +

Honestly, yes. WordPress, plugins, and SSL certs all need regular care to stay secure and fast. A care plan also gets you a real human to call when something breaks — at 2am, on a holiday, when a form stops working.

How long does a new build take? +

A focused 5–7 page small business site typically launches in 2–3 weeks. Larger builds with custom features or e-commerce run 4–6 weeks. Weekly sprints with previews.

Do you work with WordPress, or something else? +

Both. WordPress with the Divi theme when you need a CMS your team can update. A modern static stack (Astro) when speed and SEO are the priority. I'll recommend the right tool for your situation.

Where are you located? +

Web Guy Nick LLC is based in Rialto, California, serving small businesses across the US. Everything is handled remotely with weekly check-ins.
