Our History
-
1998
Built First Website in HTML
It all started in another industry...and a completely different one at that. In 1998, while working for a Top 100 Golf Course in Florida, we built our first website with the help of a Jacksonville consultant. Things were very different then, but this helped lay the groundwork and thought process for what it would take to run a Website Design company.

2006
Founded 1st Web Design Company
The time was right to start building websites for the golf industry. Open-source technology was ramping up and other companies were unfairly price-gouging. We've always been ethical & fair with pricing, and wanting to exceed client expectations so they know the relationship we forge is true and with the desire to be long-lasting.

2010
Reached 500th Customer
A huge milestone was reached in April of 2010, as we successfully deployed our 500th website. We had come to be known as the most respected name in the industry, providing the best technology for the lowest price.

2012
Sold 1st Web Design Company
With over 700 sites built and 550 active customers, it was time to take a little time off and regroup. The sale of our 1st company was much needed, as the industry was rapidly changing. We took a year off to rethink and reformulate an even better plan for the next go-around.

2014
Founded The RWM Company
Completely reformulated, we founded our second website design company, with sole-owner Rob West. Technology and website design tools had rapidly developed since 2006, and our new venture was strictly focused with 3 key changes: Website Ownership, Better Pricing, and 100% Fully Responsive Web Design.

2017
RWM's 200th Website
Quickly becoming another huge success story with over 95% customer retention year over year, The RWM Company reached it's first anticipated milestone late in 2017, building our 200th website. Our smaller, more intimate company this time around was built on the primary focus 'Customers First', with the intent to go above and beyond each client's needs are every time they engage us.

2018
Meeting ADA Standards
RWM forged way ahead of our competition, meeting strict guidelines to ensure all of our clients' websites are ADA compliant. Not only do we meet WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 standards for design considerations, we also built a key integration for Accessibility, where website users can do everything from having the website text read to them, enlarge the fonts, and even change contrast ratios to more easily distinguish colors.

2020
Websites For Professionals
Due primarily to successful relationships with key Management Companies and Information Technology (IT) Firms, RWM embarked upon an initiative to build websites for companies providing Professional Services. Now helping Small Businesses, Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists, and Technology Service Companies, RWM provides top-level design services, hosting, firewall, and support services at a fraction of the cost our competitors charge. Drastically overcharging and/or taking far too long to launch a quality website is now a thing of the past.

2024

The RWM Company reached our latest milestone in 2024, celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary and building our 400th website. What got us here is what's kept us on top - putting "Customers First" and having a fanatical support policy to always go above and beyond each client's needs every time they engage us. Here's to the next 10!
