What clients say
We worked with Code23 in the Autumn of 2021 as a potential website development partner for our new company website. We immediately felt confident that Code23 could deliver a fantastic quality product and that they knew exactly what to do to take our digital presence to the next level. Fast forward 3 months, and with zero delays to our project, and we're delighted with our newly launched website. The styling, functionality and overall build quality is exceptional, and in the eight years that I've worked with web agencies, this is by far the smoothest migration and launch that I've been involved with. I would highly recommend Code23 as a website development agency.

We couldn’t be happier with the service from Code23. They were a pleasure to work with—friendly, professional, and really took the time to understand our needs. They met our brief perfectly, delivering a website that looks great and performs exactly as we envisioned, all at excellent value for money. What sets Code23 apart is their aftercare. Knowing they are on hand to monitor and maintain our website means we never have to worry about its performance. Their ongoing support gives us complete peace of mind, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled web development team

James and his team at Code23 have recently provided us with a brand new website with a responsive design that looks great on any device. Being based on the WordPress platform it's easy for us to manage the content ourselves, which allows us to keep the website fresh as new products and industry news arrives. There are lots of ways of getting websites built, but choosing Code23 turned out to be a great investment for us. James and his team are at the cutting-edge of web design and technologies, and after initial discussions they completed the build needing very little input from us thereafter. We're very pleased with the final result - James understood exactly what we were looking for and managed to make the whole process exciting rather than tedious. Highly recommended!

Code 23 are a first class web design agency. James, Joe and their team are a pleasure to work with and made the process very easy from a client perspective. I was impressed with their ability to work up briefs quickly, their ability to keep to deadlines and the quality of the site that they delivered. They are highly recommended and an agency we will continue to work with on other projects.

Having turned to Code23 after a bad experience with another web designer, I can confidently say that the service James, Joe and their team provided is exceptional. They are incredibly receptive, professional and patient. They listened to my "vision" and together with their knowledge and experience delivered an e-commerce website which is perfect, even better than I though it could ever be. Throughout the process, James and Joe were always on hand and easy to communicate with and would send regular updates. I am particularly appreciative of the time, care and dedication they put into this project. Many thanks for making me the website of my dreams!

I've been Code23 client for 5 years (and my website has been with the company from the start). James and his team is always responsive to any support I need and did an excellent job in re-designing and re-building our marketplace website. This was a very complex job with separate shops/payments/blog/categories and everything was custom coded and designed for our website. It was great to be part of the re-design process and working with James and his team has been a truly positive experience. Code23 has also provided our hosting and on-going support, back ups, online security and maintenance. Definitely recommended to anyone who is thinking of having their website designed by professional team - you'll be in a good hands!

Questions about Web Design London
How much does it cost to design a website in London?
There is no single London price because a brochure site and a custom catalogue platform are different jobs - and London retainers often price the floorplate, not the build. Blueprint defines templates, CMS depth and integrations, then current pricing is confirmed against that agreed scope.
Do you work with London clients onsite or remotely?
Yes. Kickoffs happen on a call, at your London office, or at our Theale studio when a workshop helps. Day-to-day delivery runs from the same senior team with clear async updates - no junior handoff after the pitch.
How long does a website project take?
Blueprint sets the timeline against templates, CMS depth and integrations. Marketing sites move faster than catalogue or ecommerce builds - we say which you are buying up front. Agents compress build; content and migrations usually set the critical path.
Can you help with SEO in London as well as design?
Yes. Technical SEO, local schema and page templates sit in Blueprint and Harden - the same team that designs the site ships the crawl clarity, instead of handing you a separate PDF.
Can AI agents really help a London website project?
Yes, inside a clear remit. Agents draft content and SEO updates, triage enquiries, watch performance budgets and regress QA while seniors set the brief and own risk - so you get London-grade pace without a bloated bench.
