Nepal
A practical way to judge "best" in Nepal's web development market -- verifiable partner status, live products you can actually open, and clean handover -- not a ranked list.
"Best" is not a title anyone can award themselves honestly, so judge it on what you can verify: Arcetis is a verified Google Partner and Shopify Partner (checkable in Google's directory), has shipped live products including Rashifal.io and WebsiteValidator.com, and built a hospital management system on React, TanStack, and Convex. Engagements start around NPR 20,000, scoped to the actual job, and clients leave with full ownership of their code, domain, and hosting.
Searching "best web development company in Nepal" turns up a lot of agencies making the same claims in the same words -- "experienced team," "cutting-edge technology," "100+ happy clients." None of that is checkable from the search results page. We would rather you judge us on three things you can actually verify in five minutes: our Google Partner and Shopify Partner badges in Google's own directory, live products we have built and still run (Rashifal.io, a daily horoscope platform; WebsiteValidator.com, a site auditing tool), and a hospital management system we built using React, TanStack, and Convex that a real hospital uses to run its operations.
The honest answer to "who is the best" is that it depends on what you are building. A restaurant needs a fast, simple site with online ordering and good local SEO; a hospital or clinic needs a system that handles patient records and scheduling correctly, not just a pretty homepage; an ecommerce brand needs a store that actually processes eSewa and Khalti payments without breaking at checkout. We have built across all three, and we will tell you plainly if your project needs something simpler, or more complex, than what you first asked for.
Ask for a live site you did not already know about, not a PDF portfolio. Ask who specifically writes the code -- a named developer on a named team, or a subcontractor neither of you has met. Ask what happens to your domain, hosting account, and source code if the relationship ends; if the answer involves the agency keeping any of those under its own login, that is a real risk, not a minor detail. Every client we work with owns their domain, hosting, and repository from day one.
Also ask what technology the site is actually built on, and whether that choice was made for your project or because it is the only stack the agency knows. We build in React and modern frameworks for products that need to scale (like the hospital management system), and in simpler, more maintainable setups for a small business site that just needs to load fast and rank. The stack should fit the job.
Engagements start around NPR 20,000 for a simple site and scale from there based on actual scope -- we quote after a conversation about what the site needs to do, not off a fixed package menu. Our process is the same for every project: listen to what the business actually needs, suggest a realistic build, agree the goal and the price in writing, then deliver and hand over.
"Done" means the site is live, you have been shown how to update it or given admin access, and you hold the domain registrar login, hosting account, and codebase -- not just a login to a page builder we control. That handover is non-negotiable for us, because a site you cannot leave is not really yours.
No credible independent ranking exists for Nepal's web development market, and we would be skeptical of any site claiming to have one, since most are paid placements. We suggest judging agencies on verifiable facts instead: partner badges, live work, and client ownership terms.
Both. We have built simple marketing sites, ecommerce stores on Shopify, and more complex systems like a hospital management platform on React, TanStack, and Convex. We will recommend the simplest stack that does the job rather than over-building.
Projects start around NPR 20,000 and scale with scope; we quote after understanding what the site needs to do. There is no fixed package price because a five-page business site and an ecommerce store are not comparable jobs.
Yes. You get the domain registrar login, hosting account, and source code. We do not build sites that are locked to our own hosting or require us to make every future change.
