We build websites for Swiss small businesses that get found and bring enquiries. Fixed price, hosting and domain included, live in about a week.
Example projects
We built a complete website for four typical businesses. Pick your industry and see straight away how your own site could look. Each one is real and fully working. They are in German, as our clients' customers are.
Services
Not a template builder, not an agency chain. We work out what your business actually needs, then build exactly that.
From the first sketch to going live. You supply the information and photos, we handle the rest.
Site from 2012 that falls apart on a phone? We rebuild it without making you start from scratch.
So that you are found when someone in your region searches for what you offer.
Hosting, domain, SSL and updates all run through us. You never have to think about them.
What an indexing strategy can do: in another implementation, around 2500 pages were indexed and reach increased by 1100 percent. That is not a promise, just an example from a single project, not an average figure. What is realistic in your case, we tell you in the conversation.
Why Arvenna
The Arve is the Swiss stone pine, the tree that still grows at 2000 metres where nothing else will. Slowly, stubbornly, and for a very long time. That is how we build websites.
How it works
You need neither a concept nor finished text. We ask what we need to know and take it from there.
A call or a visit to your premises. We look at what you offer, who your customers are and what the website has to achieve. You leave knowing the price.
around 30 minutes
We settle the structure and the look and show you a first draft. You say what works and what does not, before anything gets built.
a few days
We build the site, finish the copy and set up domain, hosting and the legal pages. You can check progress at any time via a preview link.
1 to 3 weeks depending on package
The site goes live, gets registered with Google and runs. After that we keep looking after it: hosting, updates, changes. You reach us directly.

Pricing
The monthly fee covers hosting, domain, SSL certificate and our support. You pay nothing anywhere else. The exact scope and the price we agree together in the conversation, tailored to your business.
A custom built website in Switzerland easily runs to several thousand francs, with hosting and maintenance billed separately. We do it differently.
Starter
CHF550
one-off, then CHF 20 / monthless than one franc a day
For businesses with no website at all that want to become visible quickly.
Recommended
Business
CHF1'200
one-off, then CHF 50 / monthhosting, support and changes included
Our main package. For businesses that actually want enquiries and bookings through the website.
Premium
CHF3'500
one-off, then CHF 90 / monthincluding unlimited changes
For businesses with several languages, a larger scope and constant changes. We put the scope and the price in writing before we start.
12-month minimum term, then cancellable monthly. Contracts of 36 months are normal in this industry. Ours is twelve, because we should not need to hold you.
From Business up you edit your site yourself. Text, prices, photos and opening hours you change as often as you like, included in the monthly fee, at no extra cost. Structure, design and new pages are handled by us.
All prices exclude VAT. Additional page CHF 100, additional language CHF 290 one-off.
The packages are the starting point, not the last word. How far we go on visibility and indexing depends on your industry and your goal. The definitive scope and price we agree together before we start. Larger scope, an online shop or a custom application? We quote those individually.
About us
Arvenna is the two of us, that is the whole company. Whoever builds your website is the same person who answers the phone. That is the entire difference from an agency.
Builds your website
An engineer. Builds everything himself: the site, the hosting, the integrations. Tells you what makes technical sense even when it argues against the bigger contract.
Your point of contact
Works out with you what the website has to do, and stays the person you call afterwards. In plain language, without the jargon.
Common questions
Building it costs a one-off CHF 550, CHF 1'200 or CHF 3'500 depending on the package. On top of that comes the monthly fee of CHF 20 to CHF 90, which covers hosting, domain, SSL and support. You get the price in writing before we start. There are no surprises on the final invoice.
Starter about one week, Business about two, Premium about three, counted from the moment we have your content and photos. The honest version: the timeline almost always depends on how fast we get your material, not on how fast we build.
Considerably less than most people fear: your services, opening hours, contact details and a few photos. If you have nothing usable, we tell you what to shoot on your phone and handle the rest. We write the text, you read it over.
You do. The domain is registered in your name and the content is yours. If you ever want to move elsewhere, you take your data and your domain with you, with no argument and no exit fee.
No. Hosting, domain, SSL certificate and technical updates all run through us and are covered by the monthly fee. You get one invoice from us and nothing else. We take over an existing domain, and your email addresses stay untouched.
From the Business package up, you change text, prices, photos and opening hours yourself through a simple block editor, with no way to break anything. Anything bigger we handle: twice a year on Starter, twelve times on Business, unlimited within fair use on Premium.
Fifteen minutes on the phone, free and without obligation. We look at your current website and tell you honestly what is worth doing and what it costs. Including when the answer is: not yet.
