Why Choose

Why Small Businesses Choose Arachna Digital

Arachna Digital sits between low-cost template freelancers and heavy agency retainers: technical enough to build properly, lean enough to stay practical, and focused on helping small businesses get online clearly.

Professional from day one

Your website, email, Google listing, and core setup are planned to make the business feel credible and ready.

Technical SEO depth

The setup covers structure, metadata, performance, indexability, schema opportunities, and local search basics.

Founder-led delivery

You work directly with the person doing the strategy, build, setup, and handover.

Joined-up setup

Websites, email, Google Business, analytics, and ownership are treated as one connected digital foundation.

Clear pricing signals

Packages and recommendations are plain-English, transparent, and easy to compare before a call.

Future-ready foundations

Your digital foundation is prepared for better reporting, support, and sensible improvements later.

About

A Real Person, Not an Agency

We are a UK-based web design and digital setup specialist working directly with small business owners who want a clear, bespoke route to getting online without the agency price tag, the jargon, or the endless back-and-forth.

From conversion-focused website design and local SEO foundations to Microsoft 365 email, Google Business Profile setup, analytics, and domain management, we handle the full launch properly. We build sites by hand in code so your setup is genuinely bespoke, performance-focused, and quality-controlled rather than a recycled template.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need to know anything technical?

Not at all. I handle the full setup and explain each step clearly, so you always know what is happening and why.

What if I already have a domain or website?

No problem. I can work with what you have or migrate everything over, whatever makes most sense for you.

How long does setup take?

Most projects are complete within 2-4 weeks, depending on the package and how quickly we can get your details together. Simpler setups can be turned around faster.

Entry-level setup starts from GBP 400, website projects start from GBP 2,000, and ongoing website or SEO support starts from GBP 450/month. Larger bespoke builds are scoped separately before work begins.

Placeholder case study structures are shown on the site while named examples and testimonials are gathered with client permission. Real metrics, screenshots, and quotes can be added as soon as they are available.

Do you offer ongoing support after setup?

Yes, via a monthly retainer or on an ad-hoc basis if you just need occasional help.

Will I own all my accounts and the website?

Absolutely. Everything is set up in your name. You have full ownership and access to all accounts from day one.

What areas of the UK do you cover?

I work remotely with businesses across the whole of the UK.
