Quick answer
SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd is a UK-registered company that builds custom software and custom WordPress sites, and runs SEO, for businesses in Barnet, the north London borough (London Borough of Barnet). The team works remotely from Lahore and meets clients by video call. Custom software starts from £8,000, WordPress websites from £3,000 and SEO retainers from £1,500 a month.
We have no office in Barnet, and nobody on the team is based there. Our registered office is 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA, in East Ham, and it is a registered office only. Every meeting, from the first call to handover, is a video call booked in your working hours.
The company was incorporated in 2025 and is registered at Companies House under number 16718403. The SpiderHunts business behind it has served more than 1,000 clients since 2020.
Custom software: internal tools, client portals, booking and job systems, integrations between the apps you already pay for, and automation of repetitive admin.
Custom WordPress: bespoke WordPress sites on a lean theme, plugins written for one job, WooCommerce shops, and rescue work on slow or broken sites.
SEO: technical SEO and content, local SEO and Google Business Profile work, and visibility in AI search tools. We also build AI agents and set up CRM systems when those are the real fix.
The borough runs from Chipping Barnet and Whetstone down through Finchley and Hendon to Golders Green, Edgware, Colindale and Brent Cross. Its businesses are mostly shops, cafés, practices, agencies and trades, and the software they need is usually modest and specific.
That is why every project starts with a written quote setting out scope and exclusions. For the wider picture, see our London page and our United Kingdom page.
What we build
Three main services, plus the AI and CRM work that often sits alongside them. One team plans the website, the systems behind it and how people find you.
Job and booking systems, client portals, approval queues and the spreadsheet that runs half the business, rebuilt as software that does exactly what your process needs.
Customer-facing apps and portals, plus the connections between your accounts package, CRM, booking tool and website so the same data is not typed in three times.
Bespoke WordPress sites built on a lean theme, so pages load quickly and your team can edit them without breaking the layout. Rescue and speed work on existing sites too.
Single-purpose plugins for one awkward job, WooCommerce extensions for click and collect, bookings or trade pricing, and integrations with the stock or property software you use.
Profile categories, services, photos and posts set up properly, consistent business details across directories, and location pages for the parts of the borough you actually serve.
Crawl, indexing and speed problems fixed at the source, page structure that search engines can read, and content written around the questions your customers ask before they buy.
Making your business clear enough to be cited by AI search tools, and assistants that answer routine enquiries or draft replies for a person to approve.
A CRM configured around how your enquiries really flow, connected to your website forms and email, so follow-ups stop depending on someone's memory.
Why it matters
Most firms that contact us are short of hours, not customers. The website, the admin and the online listings were set up by different people at different times, and nobody joined them up.
Not sure whether to fix the website, the admin or the Google listing first?
Book a free consultation, or ask for a free SEO audit. We will tell you what to fix first, and what it would realistically cost.
Examples
Typical problems businesses in the borough bring to us, and the work that addresses them. Illustrative examples of what we build, not client results.
A bespoke WordPress theme with listings pulled automatically from the agency's property software, valuation and viewing request forms routed to the right branch, and area pages for the streets the agency covers.
Aim: listings that stay current without manual uploads
A portal where clients upload records and sign engagement letters once, with checklists per client, reminders for anything missing and a log of who viewed or changed each file.
Aim: fewer chasing emails at every deadline
An internal tool that holds carer schedules, visit notes and staff training dates in one place, with role-based access and warnings before a certificate lapses, built to support UK GDPR requirements.
Aim: rota and training gaps visible before they become problems
A WooCommerce store linked to the till or stock system, a custom extension for collection slots, and a Google Business Profile that shows opening hours and products accurately.
Aim: online orders that match what is actually on the shelf
Service and area pages for the postcodes the firm covers, a cleaned-up Google Business Profile, and a quote form that creates a job in the firm's system with the photos the customer sent attached.
Aim: more of the right local enquiries, handled the same way every time
Parents book sessions online, pay by card or direct debit, and receive lesson notes, while tutors see their timetable and the owner sees bookings and income on one page.
Aim: admin that no longer grows with every new student
How we work
Small stages, each with something you can see. Everything happens by video call and in writing, so there is a record of what was agreed.
A video call about the problem, the tools you use now and what a good result looks like. For SEO work we start with the free SEO audit, so the conversation is based on what your site and profile actually show.
You receive a written quote with the scope, the exclusions and an estimated timeline. Nothing starts until you have agreed it, and anything outside the scope is quoted separately rather than added quietly.
We agree which accounts, hosting and systems we need, who grants access, and what personal data is involved before anything moves. Where we handle personal data for you, that is covered by a written data processing agreement.
Work goes into your own repository or a staging copy of your site from early on, with written updates and demos on video calls in your working hours, so you see progress rather than hear about it.
We release in stages, then hand over code, logins, documentation and a short walkthrough for your team. Ownership of the code transfers on full payment, as set out in the contract. Any ongoing work is quoted separately.
Clear scope · Regular demos · Full handover

If a ready-made product or a simple fix will do, we will say so.

FAQ
Short, direct answers to the questions people ask before hiring a software, WordPress or SEO provider.
Still have a question?
Ask us directly. A senior engineer reads every question.
Ask about your projectNo, SpiderHunts has no office in Barnet and nobody on the team is based there. The company, SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd (Companies House 16718403), has its registered office at 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA, in East Ham. That is a registered office only. The whole team works from Lahore, and every meeting is a video call at a time that suits your working day.
Custom software costs £8,000 to £20,000 for an internal tool or MVP, £20,000 to £45,000 for a business web application, and from £45,000 for a platform or modernisation project. A corporate website is £3,000 to £12,000. SEO starts from £1,500 a month, or £2,500 for a fixed-scope project, and the SEO audit is free. Every project starts with a written quote with scope and exclusions agreed up front.
We do not claim to be, because no one can prove that kind of ranking. Judge any provider on evidence instead. Look for verified reviews on independent platforms (we are rated 4.6 on Clutch), a written quote listing scope and exclusions, clear terms on who owns the code, and references you can check. Book the free consultation and hold us to the same tests.
We do not claim a place in any top 100 list. Instead of a ranking, judge us on evidence you can check: a 4.6 rating on Clutch, 4.8 from 944 Fiverr reviews, 1,000+ clients since 2020, and a written quote with scope and exclusions before any work starts. Ask any shortlisted company for the same evidence.
Yes, we build new WordPress sites and fix existing ones. New sites use a lean custom theme rather than a heavy page builder. We also write single-purpose plugins and build WooCommerce shops and extensions. Rescue work covers slow sites, failed updates, abandoned themes and hacked installs. A corporate site is £3,000 to £12,000, a plugin £1,500 to £4,000, and a WooCommerce extension £8,000 to £25,000.
Yes, local SEO and Google Business Profile work is one of our three main services. It covers profile categories, services, photos and posts, a steady process for asking customers for reviews, consistent business details across directories, and pages for the parts of the borough you serve. No one can promise a fixed position on Google Maps, and we will not. Start with the free SEO audit.
Every meeting is a video call booked in your UK working hours; nobody travels to meet clients. Lahore is five hours ahead of the UK in winter and four hours ahead during British Summer Time. That means the team's day starts before yours and overlaps your morning and early afternoon. Between calls, updates are written down so there is a record of decisions.
You own the code once the project is paid in full, as set out in the contract. Code goes into a repository you control, and hosting and domains stay in your own accounts. We hand over logins and documentation so your own team or another developer can carry on. You are never tied to us to make a change.
Yes, we build software to support UK GDPR requirements. That means role-based access, audit logs, retention and deletion rules, consent records, and workflows for access and erasure requests. Decisions as data controller, privacy notices and any registration with the Information Commissioner's Office stay with you. Where we handle personal data on your behalf, we work under a written data processing agreement.
A focused internal tool or a WordPress site typically takes weeks rather than months. Larger business applications take longer and are delivered in stages. The estimated timeline for your project is written into the quote, based on the agreed scope. SEO is ongoing work, and changes in search results typically build gradually rather than appearing straight away. We would rather give you a realistic date than an optimistic one.
It is worth it when a process that matters to your income runs on spreadsheets and email, and not otherwise. If a ready-made product or a few changes to your current site will do the job, we will say so on the free call. Starting small, with one tool or one fix, is usually the sensible route for a small business.
AI search visibility means AI tools such as ChatGPT or Google's AI answers can find and describe your business accurately. Those tools draw on your website, your Google Business Profile, reviews and directory listings. Clear, consistent and well-structured information helps. For most Barnet businesses this sits alongside normal local SEO rather than replacing it. Our AI services page explains the work.
Yes, if you mean Barnet in north London. People often type 'Burnet' when they are searching for Barnet, the London Borough of Barnet. This page covers businesses across the borough, from High Barnet and Finchley to Hendon, Edgware and Colindale. Wherever you are, the service, prices and video-call meetings are the same.
