Your business website. Built for CHF 0.*

Arklens is a Swiss digital partner for SMEs, helping businesses strengthen their online presence and adopt practical digital tools, automation and AI.

The Arklens Website Programme helps Swiss small and medium-sized businesses create or modernise a professional online presence. We design and build a one-page professional website, include hosting, and guide you through the process from application to launch. Your domain always belongs to you, and you remain free to leave the programme at any time.

The programme is designed for Swiss small and medium-sized businesses that need a professional website or want to modernise an existing one: local shops and services, owner-managed and independent businesses, and small teams.

Applications are reviewed individually to make sure the programme is a good fit.

The design and development of your website are provided at CHF 0. The CHF 120 one-time administration & launch fee covers the work around your project: reviewing your application and business information, onboarding, project preparation and coordination, setup administration, domain and DNS coordination where needed, launch preparation and the final administrative handover.

It does not pay for designing or developing your website, and hosting remains included.

There is no charge to apply. If your business is accepted into the programme, the administration & launch fee is paid before onboarding and detailed project discussions begin. We send you the payment details together with your acceptance.

It is a one-time payment, not a subscription.

You pay your domain registration and renewal directly, typically around CHF 15–30 per year. Optional services such as additional languages, booking systems, automation or other enhancements are priced separately and always agreed before any work begins.

You do. We help you purchase it directly, so you retain full ownership and control. You can transfer your domain to any provider at any time.

You always own your domain name, business information, customer data and any logos, photos or content that you provide to Arklens.

Arklens retains ownership of its website source code, templates, reusable components, design systems, automation scripts and development tools unless a separate written agreement transfers those rights.

Absolutely. Multilingual support is available as a paid add-on whenever you need it.

No. The administration & launch fee is a one-time payment, not a subscription. All other paid services are optional and clearly priced before any work begins.

Yes. Your domain always remains under your control and you can move it to another provider at any time.

We can also provide reasonable assistance with migrating your business content and customer-owned assets.

Arklens source code, templates and reusable components are not automatically included in a migration.

The standard Arklens Website Programme does not include ownership or transfer of Arklens source code.

If you require the source code for your website, Arklens may offer a separate Source Code Buyout or Migration Package depending on the website and its complexity.

You can leave at any time, with no penalty. You can continue with paid Arklens services, rebuild on your own infrastructure, or move to another provider. Your domain, business content and customer-owned assets go with you, and we provide reasonable help with the move.

Typically 1–3 weeks. We help with DNS configuration, hand over your business content and customer-owned assets, and offer 1–2 hours of support to keep the transition smooth.

You will receive at least 60 days’ notice and clear information about your options, unless urgent security, legal, misuse or operational reasons require shorter notice. Your domain always belongs to you. We will hand over your business content and customer-owned assets and provide reasonable migration assistance so your online presence can continue.

The Arklens Website Programme is intended to help eligible small and medium-sized businesses improve their own digital presence.

It may not be used by agencies, freelancers, IT providers or other third parties to obtain free development work for resale, white-labelling or incorporation into their own paid services.

Arklens may decline or discontinue participation where the programme appears to be used primarily for this purpose.

The Arklens Website Programme is provided for the participating business’s own use.

The website, templates or source code may not be resold, white-labelled or transferred to another business without Arklens’ written agreement.

Your own domain, business content and customer-owned assets remain yours.
