Hey, I’m Rob Golbeck

I’m a WordPress web developer and founder of Handcoded Web Services. I work with small businesses and marketers to make fantastic websites that are easy to manage and look great. I also handle site care, so you can run your business without worrying about the technical stuff.

What I do

I make websites that work for you

You want a website you love. One that reflects your brand and makes uploading content easy. That’s my specialty. Some web designers make websites that look pretty, but that leave you dependent on someone else every time you want to make a change. I make sure your website looks fantastic and lets you manage content yourself – whether you need a brand new website or want to revamp an existing one.

I take care of your website

It’s not enough for a website to look awesome. Owning a website can be a lot of work – you have to think about hosting, security, backups, software updates, analytics, page speed, and more. I monitor your website and handle the day-to-day work needed to ensure things run fast and securely all the time. And you get to spend your time running your business, not fussing around with your site.

Who I help

Designers & Marketers

You want beautiful, optimized websites for your clients. Maybe you have some coding skills, but is that enough? And is fussing around with the back end of a website the best use of your time?

Small Business

You want a website that tells people about you, gets found in search engines, and works smoothly. You have enough to think about just running your business. Who wants a website headache too?
