The reality for most Cardiff businesses

Three ways web design in Cardiff goes wrong.

The quote moves once the work starts

Local agencies quote by the hour or by the day. The estimate looks fine, then the invoice grows with every change of mind, and nobody can tell you the final number until the end. We agree a fixed price on the strategy call and hold to it.

Your site looks like every other Cardiff business

Same theme, same stock photo, same layout as the firm two doors down. A template site tells customers nothing about you, and it fights you the moment you outgrow it. A custom build is designed around your business, not a theme gallery.

Nobody local to build the software behind it

You want online bookings, a customer portal, a quote tool or an automated workflow, and the web designers you have spoken to only do websites. We are software developers as well as web designers, so the site and the system behind it come from the same people.

What we build for you

Website design, software development, or both, from one Cardiff team.

Start with the website and add the software when you need it, or build the platform first. If the software side is the bigger job, read about bespoke software and AI automation, both built by the same people.

01

Custom website

A custom-coded build, not a theme. The Startup Website at £1,999 covers up to 15 pages in 1-2 weeks. The Custom Website at £4,950 covers up to 30 pages with bespoke design and third-party integrations in 2-3 weeks. Mobile-first, SEO-ready, and the source code is yours.

02

Bespoke software platform

Customer portal, admin dashboard, workflow automation, database design and APIs. From £14,950 over 6-10 weeks, with 50% on signing and 50% on launch. The kind of system that runs a business, not just describes it.

03

Bilingual Welsh and English builds

Public bodies in Wales have a Welsh-language requirement, and plenty of private firms want Cymraeg on the same footing as English. We build both languages as full versions of the site, not a translated afterthought. Arabic and English too, if that is your market.

04

Care plan and UK hosting

UK hosting, 2 hours of development every month, bug fixes and a quarterly health review for £99 a month, cancel anytime. Or host it yourself: the code is in your own repository either way.

Pricing

The price you agree is the price you pay.

Every project starts with a free 30-min strategy call where we walk through what you have now and show you exactly what we'd build. No deck, no follow-up if it isn't for you. Want a figure before you talk to anyone? Use the estimate tool.

Built in Cardiff

Why a Cardiff business should care who builds it.

A website can be bought from anywhere. What you cannot buy from anywhere is someone you can meet, who works your hours, understands a Welsh-language requirement, and is still here after launch. Here is what being based in Cardiff means in practice.

Meet the engineer who builds it

In person in Cardiff by arrangement, or over a video call. Either way you talk to the person writing the code, not an account manager passing notes along.

Same time zone, same working day

Questions get answered during your working day, not overnight. No offshore handoffs and no waiting for another continent to wake up.

Based at Cardiff Gate Business Park

Code2Box is a trading name of Lingo Service Translations Ltd, working from Cardiff Gate Business Park. A UK company with a Cardiff address, not a freelancer who might vanish.

Cardiff, the Vale, Newport, Swansea, Bristol

We work across Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, Newport, Swansea and Bristol, and take on projects from all of Wales and the whole UK.

Welsh and English, properly bilingual

Bilingual Welsh and English builds for businesses and public bodies that need Cymraeg on equal footing. Our own public sector page is published in Welsh, so you can see it rather than take our word for it.

UK hosting and someone to call after launch

Your site or platform hosted in the UK, with the £99 a month care plan covering 2 hours of development, bug fixes and a quarterly health review. Cancel anytime.

Four steps, Audit, Scope, Build, Run, with the price committed on the strategy call. Read how we work, or see the Welsh version of our public sector page if Cymraeg is on your list.

Why this model fits Cardiff businesses

Engineers build your website, not account managers.

If you have ever been handed to a junior after the pitch, watched a freelancer go quiet, or outgrown a template in year one, you already know why this matters. This is different by design.

13+ years building

Production-grade systems, not learning on your dime.

Direct line

You message the engineer who built it. No tickets, no triage.

You own the code

Your repository, your designs, your content. Walk away any time.

Fixed price

No scope creep, no surprise invoices. We commit on the strategy call.

Cardiff-based

Cardiff Gate Business Park. Same time zone, meetings by arrangement.

Live proof

Four platforms we built and run, not just slide-deck case studies.

Honest answers

What Cardiff businesses ask before booking a call.

Do you meet clients in Cardiff?

Yes, by arrangement. We are based at Cardiff Gate Business Park and happy to meet in person for the strategy call or during the build. Day-to-day contact runs over video calls and messages, so nothing waits for a diary slot.

Do you build websites in Welsh?

Yes. We build bilingual Welsh and English sites and platforms, with both languages treated as full versions rather than a translated afterthought. Our own public sector page is published in Welsh at code2box.com/government/cy/. We also build Arabic and English.

How much does a website cost in Cardiff with you?

Three fixed prices. The Startup Website is £1,999 for a custom build of up to 15 pages. The Custom Website is £4,950 for up to 30 pages with bespoke design and third-party integrations. A Custom Platform with a customer portal, admin dashboard and workflow automation starts at £14,950. The price is agreed on a free 30-minute strategy call and does not move afterwards.

How long does a website take?

The Startup Website takes 1-2 weeks and the Custom Website 2-3 weeks. A Custom Platform runs 6-10 weeks. You get the timeline on the strategy call alongside the price, and we hold to both.

Can you take over a site built by another agency?

Yes. Your old site stays live until launch day. We migrate your content and data first, pre-warm the DNS so the switch takes minutes, leave your email untouched, redirect every old address to its new page, and send you a written launch-day report with every page, form and redirect checked.

Do you work outside Cardiff?

Yes. Cardiff is home, and we work across the Vale of Glamorgan, Newport, Swansea and Bristol, all of Wales and the whole UK. Everything from the strategy call to launch runs over video, so distance changes nothing about the process.
