Web Design & Website Maintenance

Websites built to perform — and plans that keep them that way

Professional WordPress websites with fast, mobile-friendly and SEO-ready foundations, backed by ongoing maintenance plans that protect performance, security and reliability after launch.

Built properly from day one

A clear, dependable website without unnecessary complexity

Your website should explain your business clearly, work smoothly on every screen and give visitors an obvious next step. Arvelane builds structured WordPress websites around those essentials — not around bloated features you do not need.

Every project starts with your goals, customers and content. We then plan the pages, create a responsive design, configure WordPress carefully and establish the foundations for search visibility, security and future growth.

Once the site is live, you can manage it yourself or place it on an Arvelane care plan for updates, backups, monitoring and ongoing technical support.

Good to know

The right solution, not the biggest one

Arvelane will recommend the simplest appropriate setup for your goals. Complex custom development, specialist integrations, substantial copywriting and large e-commerce builds are scoped separately.

We build with WordPress and favour maintainable tools that do not leave you dependent on unnecessary premium software.

Why maintenance matters

Protect the website you invested in

01

Safer updates

Updates are applied carefully and checked to reduce the risk of compatibility problems.

02

Earlier warnings

Monitoring helps surface downtime, vulnerabilities and performance problems sooner.

03

Less disruption

Routine care happens in the background instead of becoming an urgent technical problem.

04

Reliable support

You have a consistent point of contact who understands the website and its setup.

FAQs

Web design and maintenance questions

What is included in the £500–£700 starting range?

It normally covers a straightforward small-business WordPress website. Page count, integrations, content preparation, e-commerce and custom features can change the final price, so every project receives a written scope and quotation.

Do I have to take a maintenance plan after the website launches?

No. Maintenance is recommended because WordPress requires ongoing updates, backups and monitoring, but you can manage those responsibilities yourself or add a care plan later.

Can Arvelane maintain a website built by somebody else?

Usually, yes. We first review the website, hosting and current condition. If there are existing faults or outdated components, we explain any initial work needed before ongoing care begins.

Does maintenance include new pages and content changes?

The care plans focus on technical health, monitoring, backups and support. Regular content updates, new pages, product administration and SEO work can be covered through Arvelane’s separate Website & Digital Support service or quoted project work.

Do you build e-commerce websites?

WooCommerce projects are available, but pricing depends heavily on catalogue size, payment and delivery requirements, integrations and product content. These are scoped and quoted separately.

Are there long-term maintenance contracts?

No. Plans are billed monthly and can be upgraded or downgraded as the website changes. Cancellation terms are confirmed clearly before the service starts.
