Do you have an office in Southborough?

No — I'm based in Marlborough and serve Southborough as part of my MetroWest service area.

My site was built years ago by someone I can't reach anymore — can you still help?

Yes, this is one of the most common situations I take on. I audit what's there first, then bring it into a care plan so it's properly maintained going forward.

What if I just need a one-time fix, not ongoing management?

That's fine too — reach out and describe the issue, and I'll give you a straight answer on whether it's a quick fix or something that points to a bigger underlying problem.

How is this different from a big web agency?

No account manager, no ticket queue — you're working directly with the person who knows your site, focused specifically on WordPress rather than juggling a dozen platforms.

New WordPress Websites & Ongoing Care for Southborough, MA Businesses

Need a new site for your Southborough business? I build custom WordPress websites for $1,500, launched in weeks. A lot of Southborough small businesses instead built their website once, a few years back, and haven’t looked at it since — that’s usually fine, right up until it isn’t, and it’s just as fixable without starting over.

I’m Rob Petrin, a WordPress specialist based in Marlborough with 25 years of web experience and 20 years focused specifically on WordPress. I’m professionally active in Southborough through local networking, and I manage sites for business owners here who’d rather their website just quietly work than think about it.

What You Get

What’s Included

New WordPress Builds

A new site starts at $1,500, built specifically to roll into a care plan afterward rather than being handed off with no ongoing support. See what’s included in a Southborough build.

Ongoing Care Plans

$1,200/year for hosting, $300/month for management: this covers plugin and core updates, automated backups, uptime monitoring, and security — the maintenance work most sites quietly go without.

WooCommerce Support

Southborough businesses running a WooCommerce store get store-specific maintenance — checkout testing, payment gateway updates, inventory plugin upkeep — as part of the same plan.

Hear It From Our Clients

What Our Clients Are Saying

Rob rebuilt our website and the difference is night and day. He kept us in the loop the whole way through, explained his choices in plain English, and never made us feel like we were bothering him with questions. He also cleaned up our contact form so inquiries actually come through the way they should. Easy to work with from start to finish.
Kasee Goodhind Servello CPA

Rob took over our website, redesigned it, and moved it to a modern hosting setup that costs us nothing to run — a big deal for an organization like ours. He was clear about what he was doing and why, responsive every step of the way, and the result looks and works far better than what we had. He clearly cared about getting it right for us, not just getting it done. Couldn't be happier!

First of all, Rob is an A+ human and extremely talented in his respective field. He built out the MWPC website that's become the main hub of our networking group: the calendar, member directory, dues tracking, the metrics we report on, and the email reminders that save us a ton of chasing. He understood our needs and was quick to make adjustments. It's been a massive value add and something we've leveraged to recruit new high-quality members. I can't recommend him enough!!
Ben Naranjo MetroWest Professional Connections

I've been fortunate to be part of a networking group with Rob, who also created the group's website. Rob had shown me several websites he had built in the past, but it wasn't until I saw what he created for our group that I fully understood the extent of his talent. He built a completely custom website that goes far beyond a typical site, incorporating a calendar, member directory, dues tracking, reporting metrics, automated email reminders for upcoming meetings, and much more. The entire platform is incredibly well thought out, professional, and easy to use. Rob's work is truly top-notch, and after seeing firsthand what he is capable of, I would trust him with any of my website or web development needs and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and reliable web developer.
Michael Giovangelo MetroWest Professional Connections

Rob built the website for our fall softball league, and it made a real difference. Players actually use it to check schedules, standings, and updates, which has helped keep everyone engaged and showing up throughout the season. Having everything in one place changed the feel of the league and made it much more organized and professional. Rob brought real skill and care to the project, was great to communicate with, and delivered something even better than we expected. Our new league's success owes a lot to the website he built.

Rob Petrin provides efficient and effective service for my firm’s website. He was very helpful during our transition from our former website development company and provides helpful recommendations to improving the operation of our website. I recommend him without hesitation.
Christopher Mitchell CHWM Law

Rob Petrin provides exceptional service in connection with our website. He is an excellent communicator and has creative solutions for problems. He is very responsive to requests and is proactive to solve new issues that arise from time to time. I recommend him without reservation.
Marvin Silver CHWM Law

I recommend Rob without question. I met him through a networking group. The company I work for was changing brands and I needed a new personal website fast. Without much more direction than that, Rob dove in and had a website up and running in a matter of days. He has dealt with changes we've wanted quickly and without question (unless he has a better solution, and he puts that on the table for consideration).
Gary Kelley Move With Gary

We were tracking stats on a spreadsheet like cavemen. Now we've got a real dashboard. Players love seeing their numbers, I love not managing it all manually. It's exactly what we needed.

Why PDS?

Why This Beats a Set-It-and-Forget-It Approach

Most website problems don’t happen suddenly — they build up quietly over months of no attention: outdated plugins, slowing performance, a contact form that silently stops working. A care plan catches these before they cost you a customer, rather than after.
