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.

MAK Eastern European Delicatessen

A fully custom Shopify storefront for a multi-location Eastern European deli — complete with multi-market pricing, UK compliance, Google Shopping integration, and a seamless mobile shopping experience.

MAK needed an online store to reach customers beyond their physical shops in Edinburgh and Stirling — loyal customers were travelling long distances just to buy their products.

We built a professional Shopify store with a full product catalogue, SEO optimisation, and multi-language support tailored to their Eastern European customer base.

A thriving online sales channel — products now available UK-wide, with organic search traffic growing month on month.

Online Ordering Platform

Primo's Kitchen

A commission-free online ordering website for a local kitchen — built with a custom menu, real-time order management, and a smooth checkout flow that puts the owner in full control of their revenue.

Primo's needed a modern ordering website to compete with the big delivery platforms and stop losing a slice of every order to commission fees.

We built a custom online ordering system with real-time menu management, collection and delivery options, and fully integrated payments.

Direct orders with zero third-party commission and full control over the customer experience — every pound of revenue stays with the business.

What our clients say

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

★★★★★

"CodeForged built our Shopify store from the ground up — full catalogue, multi-language, everything. Customers across the UK can now order products they used to travel to Edinburgh for. Our online presence finally matches the quality of our shops."

MAKMAK Eastern European Delicatessen, Edinburgh & Stirling
★★★★★

"Our ordering website changed the business. Customers order directly from us, payments come straight to our account, and we're no longer handing a cut of every order to a delivery platform. It just works — and if we need a menu change, it's done the same day."

Primo's KitchenOnline Ordering Website
★★★★★

"From first call to launch, everything was straightforward. They explained things in plain English, delivered exactly what was agreed at the price quoted, and the site has already brought in new customers. I'd recommend them to any local business."

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.
