Short answer

Working with SpiderHunts from Harrow: services, location and prices

SpiderHunts is a software company registered in the UK that designs bespoke software and custom WordPress websites, and handles SEO, for firms in Harrow, the north-west London borough (London Borough of Harrow). Prices begin at £8,000 for custom software, £3,000 for a WordPress website and £1,500 a month for an SEO retainer.

There is no SpiderHunts office in Harrow, and none of our people live or work in the borough. The engineers are in Lahore. The address on our Companies House record, 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA, is a registered office only.

So every conversation, from the first discussion to handover, happens over video inside your own working hours.

SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd was incorporated in 2025 under company number 16718403, registered in England and Wales. The business it grew out of has worked with more than 1,000 clients since 2020.

Bespoke software: appointment and intake systems, client portals and back-office tools, plus links between the software you already rely on and automation for the admin that eats your week.

WordPress: custom WordPress websites built without bloated page builders, purpose-written plugins, WooCommerce stores and repairs to sites that have become slow or unstable.

Search: Google Business Profile and local SEO, technical and content SEO, and making sure AI search tools describe you correctly. Where it solves the real problem, we also deliver AI assistants and CRM setups.

The borough stretches from Stanmore, Hatch End and Pinner in the north to South Harrow and Rayners Lane, with Harrow town centre, Harrow on the Hill and Wealdstone at its core. Much of its economy is GP surgeries, dentists, pharmacies, accountants, solicitors, letting agents, tutors, restaurants and family firms.

They rarely need anything huge, so we scope tightly and put scope and exclusions in writing. For the wider view, see our London software page and our UK overview.

Services

What we build and run for firms in Harrow

Software, WordPress and search, plus AI and CRM work where it fits. One team plans your website, systems and Google presence together.

01

Bespoke software & back-office tools

Appointment diaries, intake forms that feed a database, case trackers and approval steps, replacing the shared spreadsheet with a tool shaped around how your practice or firm actually operates.

02

Web apps, portals & integrations

Secure portals for patients, parents or clients, and the plumbing that links your website, booking tool, accounting package and inbox so nobody retypes the same details.

03

Custom WordPress websites

Fast WordPress builds on a slim, hand-made theme that staff can edit safely, including multilingual sites. We also take over and repair existing sites that have become slow or fragile.

04

Plugins & WooCommerce extensions

A plugin for the one job nothing off the shelf handles, or a WooCommerce extension for deposits, slots or course sales.

05

Google Business Profile & local search

Correct categories, services, opening hours and photos, matching details across directories, a sensible review routine, and pages for the neighbourhoods you genuinely serve.

06

Technical SEO & helpful content

Indexing, speed and site-structure faults fixed properly, then pages written to answer what people want to know before they call a clinic, a tutor or a solicitor.

07

AI assistants & AI search

Assistants that sort incoming enquiries or prepare draft replies for a human to check, and clear, structured information so AI search tools describe your business correctly.

08

CRM configuration

A CRM arranged around your real enquiry journey and wired to your web forms and mailbox, so no lead or referral depends on someone remembering to call back.

The usual pain points

Where Harrow practices and firms lose hours and enquiries

Few businesses that approach us lack demand. They lack time, because the website, booking process and listings grew up separately.

Typical starting point

  • Appointments are booked by phone and written into a diary or spreadsheet
  • Clients send documents by email attachment and someone has to chase the gaps
  • Opening hours or services on Google are out of date
  • The website only speaks English, although many customers prefer another language
  • Updating the WordPress site feels risky, so nobody does it

Where we aim to get you

  • Customers choose a slot online and the diary updates itself
  • Documents arrive through one secure upload page with a checklist
  • A Google profile that shows the right hours, services and photos
  • Key pages available in the languages your customers actually read
  • A quick, tidy site that staff can edit with confidence

Unsure whether the website, the booking process or Google should come first?

Take the free consultation or the free SEO audit. You will hear which fix matters most and roughly what it costs, with no obligation to go further.

Example projects

The kind of work Harrow businesses ask us for

Illustrative examples, not client results: problems we often hear from firms in the borough and what we would build in response.

Dental & health clinics: Harrow town centre

Online appointment booking with digital intake

Patients pick a clinician and slot online, complete history and consent forms before arriving and get reminders. Reception sees each day's list on one screen, built to support UK GDPR requirements.

Goal: fewer phone bookings and no paper forms at the desk

Accountants: Pinner and Hatch End

Year-end document collection portal

Each client gets a personal checklist of what to upload, from bank statements to receipts, with automatic nudges for missing items and a record of who sent what and when.

Goal: complete files without weeks of reminder emails

Tutoring centres: Kenton and North Harrow

Lesson booking, payments and progress notes

Parents book and pay for lessons online and receive short notes after each session, while tutors manage their availability and the owner tracks attendance and income.

Goal: admin that stays flat as student numbers grow

Solicitors & advisers: Stanmore

Structured client intake for new matters

An online intake form that asks the right questions for each type of matter, collects ID documents securely and creates a record in the firm's case or CRM system ready for a fee earner to review.

Goal: first meetings that start with the facts already gathered

Pharmacies & family businesses: Wealdstone

Multilingual WordPress site with service pages

A lean WordPress site with key pages in English and the other languages the shop's customers use, clear service and opening-hours information, and a properly configured Google Business Profile.

Goal: customers find and understand the services in their own language

Restaurants & hospitality: South Harrow and Rayners Lane

Table bookings and an online ordering shop

A WooCommerce menu for collection orders, a custom extension that limits orders to available kitchen slots, and table booking that feeds one shared diary for the front of house.

Goal: no double bookings and no orders the kitchen cannot fulfil

Our process

From the first video call to a finished handover

Work moves in short steps and you can see the output of each one. Decisions are made on calls and confirmed in writing, so nothing rests on memory.

  1. Discovery call (free)

    Over video we discuss what is going wrong, the tools you use and what success looks like. If search is the concern, the free SEO audit comes first so we start from real data.

  2. Quote in writing

    A written quote follows, covering scope, exclusions and an estimated schedule. Work only begins once you approve it, and any request outside the agreed scope gets its own separate price instead of creeping in.

  3. Accounts, access and personal data

    Before anything changes, we agree which hosting, accounts and systems are involved, who on your side grants access and what personal data is in play. If we process personal data for you, a written data processing agreement covers it.

  4. Building, with demos you can see

    From the early weeks, code lives in a repository you own or on a staging copy of your site. Written notes and video demos in your hours let you see progress rather than hear about it.

  5. Release and handover

    We go live in stages, then pass over the code, logins, documentation and a short training session for your staff. Code ownership moves to you once the final invoice is paid, as the contract states. Further work, if you want any, is priced separately.

Clear scope · Regular demos · Full handover

A good fit?

Who we suit, and who we do not

When a packaged product or a quick change would solve it, we tell you so on the first call.

A good fit when…

  • Bookings, intake or document collection still rely on phone calls and email
  • Your site is sluggish, breaks after updates or cannot be edited by staff
  • People nearby search for your service and land on a rival's listing
  • Customer details sit in several tools that never match
  • A partner, manager or owner can make decisions and sign off work

Not the right fit when…

  • A ready-made app already does everything you need
  • You want a supplier who can drop into the office in person
  • You expect a guaranteed Google position in writing
  • No one is free to answer questions or review designs

FAQ

Common questions from Harrow businesses

Plain answers to what people ask before they hire anyone for software, WordPress or SEO work.

Still have a question?

Ask us directly. A senior engineer reads every question.

Ask about your project

Is there a SpiderHunts office in Harrow?

No. SpiderHunts does not have an office in Harrow, and no member of the team lives or works there. SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd, company number 16718403, uses 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA as its registered office, and that address is a registered office only. All of our engineers work from Lahore, and we meet every client over video at times that suit them.

What does a software project cost for a business in Harrow?

An internal tool or MVP costs £8,000 to £20,000, a business web application £20,000 to £45,000, and a platform or modernisation project starts at £45,000. Corporate WordPress websites are £3,000 to £12,000. Ongoing SEO begins at £1,500 a month, one-off SEO projects at £2,500, and the SEO audit is free. You always get a written quote listing scope and exclusions before work begins.

Is SpiderHunts the best software company in Harrow?

We make no such claim, because nobody can prove a ranking like that. A better approach is to test every provider on evidence. Check independent reviews (our Clutch rating is 4.6), insist on a written quote that names scope and exclusions, confirm in the contract who owns the code, and ask for references you can verify. Then use our free consultation to put us through the same checks.

Can you build online appointment booking for a clinic or practice in Harrow?

Yes, appointment booking and digital intake for dental practices, private clinics, physiotherapists and therapists are among the systems we build. Patients choose a slot, fill in history and consent forms online and receive reminders, while staff see one daily list. We build these to support UK GDPR requirements, with role-based access and audit logs. A focused booking tool usually falls in the £8,000 to £20,000 range.

Do you build and repair WordPress websites for Harrow firms?

Yes, we do both. New websites are built on a slim custom theme instead of a heavy page builder, so they stay quick and safe to edit. Repair work covers slow sites, broken updates, abandoned themes and hacked installations. Corporate sites cost £3,000 to £12,000, a single-purpose plugin £1,500 to £4,000, and a WooCommerce extension £8,000 to £25,000.

Can you help a Harrow business appear on Google Maps?

Yes, local SEO and Google Business Profile work is one of our three core services. We set up categories, services, hours and photos correctly, build a steady habit of asking customers for reviews, align your details across directories and create pages for the areas you serve. No honest provider can guarantee a particular map position, and we will not. The free SEO audit is the place to start.

Can you build a website in more than one language?

Yes, we build multilingual WordPress websites where each language has its own properly structured pages, so search engines can index them and visitors can switch easily. This suits Harrow businesses whose customers are more comfortable reading in a language other than English. You supply or approve the translations, and we make sure forms, emails and booking steps work in every language you choose.

When do calls take place if the team works in Lahore?

Calls are booked inside your normal UK working hours, and all of them happen over video rather than in person. Lahore runs five hours ahead of the UK during winter and four hours ahead while British Summer Time applies. In practice our working day begins before yours and covers your morning and early afternoon. Progress and decisions are confirmed in writing between calls.

Who owns the code and accounts once the project ends?

You own the code once the final invoice is paid, as written in the contract. It lives in a repository under your control, and hosting, domains and licences stay in your own accounts throughout. At handover you receive the logins and documentation needed for your staff or a different developer to continue. Nothing ties you to SpiderHunts for future changes.

How do you handle personal data and UK GDPR?

We build software to support UK GDPR requirements, which matters for clinics, tutors and law firms holding sensitive details. That includes role-based access, audit logs, retention and deletion rules, consent records and processes for access or erasure requests. Your firm stays the data controller and keeps responsibility for privacy notices and any ICO registration. Any processing we do for you is covered by a written data processing agreement.

How long will my software or WordPress project take?

Most focused tools and WordPress websites take a number of weeks, not months, while larger web applications are released in stages over a longer period. Your quote states an estimated timeline based on the scope you approve. SEO is continuous, and improvements in search usually build up over time rather than appearing at once. We prefer a date we can keep to a hopeful one.

Do you work with businesses that have an HA postcode but sit outside the borough?

Yes. The HA postcode area reaches well beyond the London Borough of Harrow, into parts of neighbouring boroughs such as Brent and Hillingdon, and we are happy to work with firms anywhere in it. Because every meeting is a video call, your exact location makes no difference to the service, the prices or how a project runs. Just tell us where your customers are.
