Arsaviva — technology that matters Talk to us

Website development

A business website has two jobs: be found, and turn the people who find it into enquiries that reach somebody. We build sites with the search structure, speed and content architecture to do the first, and the integration to do the second — which is where most agency websites quietly stop.

The symptoms

Is this you?

  • Your site looks fine and brings in almost nothing.
  • Changing a line of text means emailing an agency and waiting a week.
  • It takes six seconds to load on a phone on mobile data.
  • Enquiries arrive in an inbox nobody owns, and some are answered days later.
  • You have no idea which pages bring business and which bring nobody.
Scope

What we build

  • Search structure planned before design — one page per buying intent
  • Content architecture built for AI answer engines as well as Google
  • Fast by construction: no bloated page builders, no twelve tracking scripts
  • A CMS your team can edit without breaking the layout
  • Enquiry forms wired into your CRM or WhatsApp, with real spam protection
  • Schema markup, sitemap, and a crawlable structure that stays current
  • Analytics set up to answer which pages bring business
  • Multilingual where your market needs it

What this is not

We do not build template sites with a slider and a stock photo of a handshake. If that is what you need, there are cheaper and faster ways to get it, and we will tell you so.

Who it’s for

Businesses whose customers search before they buy, and companies whose current site is a brochure rather than a channel.

What every engagement includes
  • A written scope you approve before any code is written
  • A price agreed against that scope, not discovered later
  • Source code, database, documentation and IP yours on final payment
  • Training for your team, and close support through the first month
FAQ

Questions people ask about this

How do you price a project?

Against a written scope, agreed before any code is written. We do not publish indicative figures, because the same-sounding requirement can differ several times over in cost depending on the specifics.

What drives the number: how many distinct user roles there are, how many screens and reports, how much data has to be migrated from existing systems, how many other systems it must talk to, and whether your process is already documented or has to be worked out first. A first conversation is usually enough for us to tell you the rough order of magnitude.

How long does a project take?

It depends on how much of the system you want live at once, which is why we usually suggest starting with one module rather than everything.

What holds true regardless is the shape of it: you see something working every two weeks from the start of the build. You are never waiting three months to find out the project went wrong in week two.

Who owns the source code?

You do, on final payment. Source code, database, documentation and intellectual property in the work are assigned to you in the contract. There is no licence that expires and no situation in year three where you discover the software is not yours.

We also hand over in a usable state: documented, commented, and written so another developer can pick it up.

How long before a new website starts bringing enquiries?

Paid traffic works the day you launch. Organic search does not. Realistically you are looking at three to six months before new pages rank for anything competitive, and longer for the most valuable phrases.

Anybody promising first-page rankings in thirty days is either buying ads or lying. What we can do is build the structure correctly from day one, so the clock starts immediately rather than after a rebuild.

All questions

Tell us what isn’t working

A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Bring the problem — the mess of spreadsheets, the report nobody can produce, the process that breaks every month-end. We will tell you honestly whether custom software is the answer, and roughly what it would take. Sometimes the answer is that you do not need us. We will say so.
