Websites & digital solutions for small businesses
I build websites and solve everyday technology problems for small businesses—helping you look professional, get enquiries and save time.
What I can help with
Websites are a big part of what I do, but sometimes the problem isn't the website. Tell me what's getting in the way and we'll work out the sensible solution.
Modern, fast and mobile-friendly websites built around your business and what your customers actually need.
Help doesn't have to stop once your website goes live. I can continue looking after the small things that keep it useful.
Make it easier for customers to find your business, understand what you offer and get in touch.
Got an annoying process, repetitive task or technology problem? It may be simpler to fix than you think.

More than websites
If you're copying information between tools or handling every enquiry manually, I can help with online forms, simple automations and better connections between the systems you already use so you spend less time on repetitive admin.
Tell me what's getting in the wayHow it works
You shouldn't need to become a web developer or IT expert just to get something sorted.
We have a straightforward conversation about your business, what's causing the problem and what you're trying to achieve.
I design and build the solution without bombarding you with technical detail you don't need.
You see the result, give me your feedback and we make the changes agreed as part of the project.
I'll help get everything online, tested and working properly, and make sure you know what happens next.
You run your business. I'll sort the technology.
A simpler approach to technology
Start with what is actually getting in the way.
Use the right technology, without unnecessary complexity.
Create something useful, practical and easy to live with.
About
I've been building websites for around 15 years, from sites built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript to WordPress and other content management systems.
My wider IT experience spans business analysis, product management and a range of technical projects. That's taught me to understand what a business needs before deciding how to build it.
Through Arnold Digital, I help small businesses create a professional online presence and improve the everyday processes that take up too much time.
You'll deal directly with me, from our first conversation through to getting everything up and running.

Questions
Can't see your question? Get in touch and ask me directly.
Websites start from £595, with the final price based on the agreed scope. There's no compulsory monthly website fee. Domain registration and any paid hosting or third-party services are separate, and I'll explain those costs before work starts.
It depends on the size of the site and how quickly the required content and feedback are available. I'll give you a realistic timeframe before the project starts.
Not necessarily. I'll need your knowledge of the business, but I can help structure and improve the website copy so visitors can quickly understand what you offer.
Yes. I can help you understand the options and get the website set up correctly without making the process more complicated than it needs to be.
Yes. Mobile isn't treated as an afterthought. The website will be designed to work across modern phones, tablets and desktop browsers.
Potentially, yes. I'll first look at what you already have and whether improving it makes more sense than rebuilding it.
Ownership and any third-party services used will be made clear before the project starts. There should be no surprises about what you're paying for or what happens if you want to move elsewhere later.
Yes. If you want ongoing help with changes, fixes or small improvements, we can agree an appropriate support arrangement.
Social media can be an excellent way to promote a business, but a website gives you a professional home online that you control and gives customers another reliable way to find and contact you.
Yes. If you have a repetitive process, awkward form, disconnected tools or another practical technology problem, tell me about it. If it's something I can sensibly help with, I'll explain the options.
I'll build the website with sound technical SEO foundations and make sure it can be crawled properly. Search rankings depend on many factors, though, so nobody can honestly guarantee a particular position.
Security is considered throughout the build. I favour simple architectures, HTTPS, minimal dependencies and sensible security controls rather than adding unnecessary technology that creates more things to maintain.
Let's talk
You don't need to know the technical solution. Just tell me a bit about your business and what you'd like to improve.
