Nick Throlson
Founder of Web Guy Nick LLC. I build websites and AI systems that bring local businesses more calls, more leads, and less busywork.
Based in Rialto, California, I have spent more than 15 years building and managing WordPress websites. Today I look after roughly 44 client and company sites, most of them on monthly care plans, and I help service businesses put practical AI to work in their day to day operations.

What I do
Web design and development
WordPress websites built to turn visitors into calls, with SEO, managed hosting, and WooCommerce when the business sells online.
AI and workflow automation
Practical AI assistants, content systems, and automations that take repeat work off a small team’s plate.
Care plans and site management
Updates, security, backups, and monitoring handled every month, so owners can run their business instead of their website.
