Chapter Two · The Psychological Wall
People judge the work
by the front door.
You can be the best in your trade. But if the first thing a customer sees is a half-abandoned Facebook page or a search result with no working website, they quietly assume you are no longer in business. Credibility is digital-first.
What people find today
"Last post eight months ago. No website. Are they still trading?"
What they should find
A clear front door. A booking button. A real reputation.
Chapter Three · The Authority Audit
What the industry
actually charges.
Ten reputed UK sources, audited. We're not making the prices up. We're undercutting the legacy overhead that has always made bespoke web work feel out of reach for small businesses.
Chapter Four · The Efficiency Secret
We didn't lower the quality.
We removed the overhead.
The old agency model pays for showroom offices, six-figure sales teams, and six-week manual coding cycles. We use AI-augmented development and serverless infrastructure to do in days what used to take months.
The old agency model
£3,000+
For showroom rent, account managers, six-week manual builds, and three rounds of revisions you didn't ask for.
The Arcane model
£275
One-off setup, then £30/month for hosting, edits, and ongoing care. AI-augmented build, no sales team, no rent on Great Portland Street.
Chapter Five · The Pledge
More than a vendor.
Your digital department.
The work doesn't end when the site goes live. We stay on as the team you'd have hired in-house if you were larger.
I
We are small too
We understand the rhythm of running a local business because we run one. Your reputation is our reputation; your customers are people who could become ours.
II
No agency theatre
No project managers, no Gantt charts, no "discovery workshops". You talk to the person actually doing the work. Decisions land the same day.
III
For the long haul
The £30/month isn't a maintenance fee; it's a relationship. Need a Christmas banner? An extra service page? Send a sentence and it ships.
Chapter Six · The contract
Plain English,
about the relationship.
We believe the relationship works better if the exit clause is the first thing we talk about. No long contract, no exit fee, and a clear path back to fully independent if you ever want it.
We host the site
Hosting, monitoring, SSL, backups, security updates: all on our infrastructure. That's what the £30 a month covers. You don't touch DNS or servers; we handle it end to end.
You own every lead
Every enquiry that comes through your site is yours, immediately. Download a CSV of the lot any time you want.
You can leave with the domain
If you ever decide to move on, we transfer the domain into your name and point it wherever you tell us to. No exit fee. No hostage-taking.
The reason: most independent traders don't want to learn DNS, renew SSL certificates, or fight with a registrar at midnight. We handle the tech. You handle the trade. If the day comes that you'd rather take it in-house, we transfer the lot over and wish you well. The full breakdown (what the £30/mo covers, what changes cost, the 7-day build timeline) lives on How it works.
A Personal Note from the Founder of Arcane Analytics
To my fellow UK business owners,
I founded Arcane Analytics because I saw a disturbing trend: high-street agencies quoting local trades and small businesses £5,000 for simple websites. These prices aren't high because the work is hard; they are high because those agencies have to pay for their own overheads and slow, outdated processes.
I believe that's wrong. In 2026, a professional website shouldn't be a "luxury" for the few; it is a necessity for the many.
We use the most advanced technology available (Cursor and Firebase) to build "state-of-the-art" sites in a fraction of the time. Because we are a small, lean operation, we don't have those agency costs to pass on to you. We are here to be your partners, helping you navigate this digital shift so your business can thrive for another generation.
