Clear Fit
Built for Proper Setup, Not Every Kind of Digital Work
Arachna Digital is intentionally focused on small business launches and rebuilds where ownership, trust, and local visibility matter from day one.
Good fit
Where the work is strongest
- Local trades, service businesses, consultants, and small teams.
- Website, domain, email, Google, analytics, and ownership setup.
- Clear guidance, documented access, and a practical launch route.
- Foundational SEO, local visibility, and trustworthy enquiry paths.
Not the right fit
Work that needs another route

If a project needs another route, you will be told before any proposal. The aim is fit, not a bigger invoice.

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 review what you have, check ownership and setup quality, then recommend whether to improve, migrate, or rebuild.
How is this different from a free or very cheap website builder?
A cheap website can be fine for a basic placeholder. Arachna Digital focuses on the wider business setup: website, domain, branded email, Google Business Profile, SEO foundations, analytics, ownership, and handover.
Can I edit the website myself?
It depends on the site. Some hand-coded sites are best managed through support, while content-heavy sites can be connected to a lightweight CMS or structured editing workflow if regular updates are important.
Can you review a website I already built elsewhere?
Yes. The Website & Digital Setup Review checks the site, Google Business Profile, domain and DNS ownership, business email, SEO basics, mobile performance, and gives you a plain-English action plan.
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.
How much should I budget for a website or SEO setup?
Setup reviews start from £150, entry-level setup starts from £400, website projects start from £2,000, and ongoing website or SEO support starts from £450/month. Larger bespoke builds are scoped separately before work begins.
Do you have case studies or testimonials?
Yes. The projects section includes live case studies for York Floor Design and Robur Joinery, showing the website structure, customer brief, features delivered, and business outcomes.
Do you build ecommerce stores, SaaS products, or complex web apps?
Not usually. Arachna Digital is focused on small business websites, digital setup, ownership, local visibility, and support. Larger ecommerce, SaaS, booking platforms, or complex integrations normally need a specialist team.
Do you offer aggressive SEO campaigns?
No. The focus is SEO foundations: page structure, metadata, local signals, Google Business Profile, Search Console, indexability, and sensible next steps. Link-building, digital PR, and national SEO campaigns are outside the core service.
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.
