The Affordable Web Guy builds custom WordPress websites for small businesses, starting at $2,999 with 12 months of managed hosting, updates, and content changes included. After the first year, hosting and maintenance are $65 a month. Most sites take four to six weeks. We’ve been doing this since 2008, and most projects happen by phone and email, so you can keep running your business while we handle the website.

You shouldn’t have to become a web developer

Here’s what working with us looks like, and how it’s different from a big agency or wrestling with a DIY builder at 11pm.

Sites built to get calls, not just look nice

A website that loads slowly and reads like a legal contract doesn’t win customers. We write in plain, everyday language, like a person talking to a person. Every page makes it easy to call or send a message, and every service gets its own page so customers and Google can both find it.

Built for phones first

Most people checking out a local business are on a phone, and Google looks at the mobile version of your site when it ranks you. So we design for the small screen first. No pinch-zooming, no broken layouts, no buttons nobody can tap.

Local SEO basics from day one

You don’t have to learn any of it. It’s just there, done right, from launch. If you want ongoing work beyond the basics, that’s what our local SEO services are for.

Fast, managed hosting

Every site runs on managed WordPress hosting on LiteSpeed servers, not the crowded shared plans that crawl the moment traffic picks up. Your site stays fast, secure, and up when customers are looking.

You’re not on your own after launch

A WordPress site left alone slowly falls apart. Plugins need updates, security holes get found, and speed drifts. Our hosting and maintenance keeps that from happening:

  • Weekly WordPress and plugin updates
  • Off-site backups
  • Security configuration and monitoring
  • Free content updates. Need a phone number changed or a photo swapped? Send it over.

What you get

  • A custom WordPress website, typically 5 to 7 pages
  • 12 months of managed WordPress hosting and maintenance
  • Content updates handled for you
  • SSL certificate
  • Mobile-friendly design and SEO-ready setup
  • You own your website

Sites start at $2,999. After the first year, hosting and maintenance run $65 a month. Full details are on our pricing page and website FAQ.

Who’s behind it

I’m Mike Ferguson, an Army veteran who’s been building websites since the mid-1990s. I started The Affordable Web Guy in 2008, and today we look after more than 120 client websites. My wife Melanie handles the digital marketing side. You can meet the whole team, and see what clients say on our reviews page.

Nearly all of our projects happen by phone and email, which keeps things quick and means we can work with businesses across the Denver metro and beyond. And yes, some days I work in gym shorts. Your website doesn’t mind.

Is this a fit?

We work with small businesses that want a professional, low-hassle website without agency pricing: service companies, contractors, professional practices, and nonprofits. If you want to look credible, get found locally, and never babysit a website again, that’s us.
