The patient guy in your corner.

Hi, I'm Ryan Leick.

I grew up in a small town in Iowa, the youngest with three older sisters, in a house where hard work wasn't a slogan — it was just how things got done. That stuck. One summer in college I ran a painting business from the ground up: two crews, $70K in sales, and every bit of the hiring, billing, and headaches that come with it. I learned early that I love building things that work — and that there's no substitute for doing it the right way.

These days I work in the plumbing supply world, which means I spend my days around tradespeople — folks who are incredible with their hands, but who never signed up to build websites, run ads, or fight with software after a twelve-hour day.

Over and over I saw the same thing: great businesses losing jobs simply because they were hard to find online, slow to call back, or stuck with a website from a decade ago. The tools to fix it exist — but nobody was explaining them in a way that respected these owners' time or intelligence. So I started Leick Clockwork to be that person.

What makes me different

I lead with your bottom line, not the latest gadget. I'll never bury you in jargon or sell you something shiny you don't need. I explain everything plainly, build it for you, and stick around to keep it running — so you can get back to the work you actually love.

I care a lot about doing this the right way. My rule is simple: every job should leave you genuinely better off — never break-even, never worse. If I can't make something worth your money, I'll tell you straight.

The name says it best: when it's done right, your website and systems should run like clockwork — quietly, reliably, without you ever having to think about them.
