What Makes Us Different
We do the work you can't see
Plenty of agencies make your site look good — so do we. The difference is the backend work most skip: indexing, schema, speed, AI crawler access. We do it, and we show you where to check.
The invisible work, done
Indexing, schema, page speed, AI crawler access, llms.txt — what decides whether Google and AI assistants recommend you. Done on every site, and listed in your monthly report.
20 clients, not 100
A small roster, done exceptionally — not a hundred clients done badly. You deal with the developer directly, and the work expensive agencies skip actually gets done.
Don't take our word — check
Three free tools that show whether any agency — including us — has done the backend work:
- PageSpeed Insights — is the site actually fast?
- Visit yoursite.com/robots.txt — are AI crawlers blocked?
- Schema validator — does Google understand the business?

"Zac is incredible. He analyzed our existing website, showed us where it wasn't optimised. In — no kidding — 1 day, he had our website rebuilt and the results were immediate. An AI search optimised site that was much more searchable in Google. Questions answered within an hour, content changes applied just as quickly. Zac's knowledge & curiosity extends much past web design and SEO — we've also had him build bots for admin tasks and chat bots for live bookings on the web."

"Arclight Digital redesigned my website and completely elevated the professional presentation of my business. The process was smooth, thoughtful, and responsive — they took the care to understand what I needed rather than producing a generic website. The final result feels much more aligned with my business and gives a far better first impression to potential clients."

Common questions
Most asked, before booking a call.
Packages start at $500 for a 1–2 page landing site, $1,200–$2,000 for a 3–5 page small business site, and $2,000–$3,500 for a full 5–10 page custom build. Significantly below the $2,500–$10,000 typical for equivalent agency work. E-commerce sites on Shopify or WooCommerce start from $3,500.
Most sites are delivered within 5–7 business days from an approved brief — far faster than the 4–8 week agency norm. A 24-hour express landing-page option is available from $800–$1,200. Larger multi-page and e-commerce builds may take 7–10 days depending on complexity.
Hosting & Care is free with every plan — it covers hosting, SSL, CDN, backups, domain management, security monitoring, bug fixes, Google Business Profile setup, minor content updates, and a monthly traffic report. Growth ($299/mo) adds on-page SEO, GBP optimisation, local keyword research, monthly content, full SEO report with competitor snapshot, and a quarterly strategy call. Pro ($599/mo) adds link building, AI search optimisation, fortnightly content, detailed monthly report, monthly strategy call, and priority support.
