What we forge

One partner for everything your business runs on.

Four connected disciplines under one roof — so your website, apps, automation, and marketing are engineered to work together, not stitched from four different vendors.

Web & E-Commerce

Fast, SEO-ready sites and Shopify stores built to convert — not templates.

  • Custom React & Shopify builds
  • UK-compliant e-commerce
  • Meta Pixel & Google Shopping

Custom Software & Apps

Bespoke iOS, Android, and web apps that replace the tools bleeding your margins.

  • React Native & Expo apps
  • EPOS & payment integration
  • Client portals & SaaS tools

AI & Automation

Put the manual, repetitive work on autopilot with practical, ROI-driven AI.

  • Workflow automation (n8n/Make)
  • AI chatbots & phone agents
  • Vision-based cash reconciliation

Growth & Marketing

Local SEO, paid ads, and CRM that actually feed your pipeline and retain customers.

  • Local & e-commerce SEO
  • Meta & Google Ads
  • White-label CRM & email flows
Forged & shipped

Proof, not promises.

Every case study is a production system we built end-to-end and run daily in our own businesses. This is what "founder-built" means.

Ordering Platform

Zero-Commission Takeaway Ordering

02

Design & Build

03

Launch & Support

We deploy to production, monitor performance, and provide ongoing support. Your systems stay fast, secure, and evolving.

Social proof

Trusted by owners who don't have time to waste.

★★★★★

"They built our entire ordering system — app, website, loyalty — and we stopped paying thousands in commission overnight. Best investment we ever made."

"The AI cash reconciliation alone saves me 4 hours a week. I just take a photo of the Z-report and everything is done. Genuinely life-changing for a small business."

"Other agencies gave us templates and called it custom. CodeForged actually built something from scratch that works exactly how our business needs it to."

Our story

Built by founders, for founders.

We're a full-service AI and technology agency for UK small and medium businesses.

We build the websites, apps, automation systems, and marketing infrastructure that let independent businesses compete with much larger organisations — without the overhead of an in-house tech team.

Every solution we deliver is custom-built by a team that runs its own businesses on the same technology. We've felt the pain of paying too much commission, juggling too many tools, and losing hours to manual work — so we engineered our way out of it, and now we do the same for you.

  • Direct & honest. If an idea won't work, we tell you why — no agency jargon.
  • Custom, never templated. Everything is engineered for your business specifically.
  • We use what we sell. Our own shops run on these exact systems.
Transparent pricing

Priced for growth, not guesswork.

Representative starting points, benchmarked against 2026 UK market rates. Every engagement is scoped to your business — no surprise invoices.
