For businesses that outgrew off-the-shelf

Bespoke software development for companies whose spreadsheets, workarounds and off-the-shelf tools no longer fit — costed and agreed at a fixed price before you commit.

Solutions we've built power teams at:

  • Amazon Web Services
  • Auto Trader
  • Cedars-Sinai
  • Jet2holidays
  • Jaguar Land Rover
  • Dover Street Market
  • Dexters
  • Lookers

Every step, with a team who's done it before

You've hit the point where spreadsheets, workarounds and a per-seat tool that almost fits are costing real hours every week. Bespoke software fixes that — but only when it genuinely beats buying something. We'll tell you honestly which side of that line you're on before you spend a thing.

  1. Build or buy

    We map your process end to end and cost the current workarounds in hours — then say plainly whether a standard tool would do the job cheaper. If it would, we'll tell you. That first conversation costs nothing.

  2. Scope & design

    Discovery and design from £4,000 turns the mapped process into a blueprint and a fixed build quote — from £15,000 — agreed before anything starts. Cancel in the first 21 days and your money comes back in full.

  3. Build & wire in

    We build the system around your workflow, wire it into the tools you already use, and retire the spreadsheets it replaces — in short stages, so you see progress every couple of weeks. Your team is trained before handover.

  4. Run it

    It lands on AWS infrastructure we host, monitor and back up rather than dropping in your lap — with ongoing support as the business changes. All the code and IP are yours on payment.

Built for one process, exactly

Three processes nothing off the shelf could handle: snagging thousands of defects across live London sites, measured floorplans drawn on an iPad in a single site visit, and legally valid wills signed and witnessed online. If a standard tool fits your process, buy it — bespoke is for when it doesn't.

  • WeSnag

    A large London-based construction company managing major residential sites — dozens of contractors, thousands of defects — came to CodeLeap for a digital snagging platform. Within 6 months, we delivered a fully functioning mobile app that reduced human errors and accelerated the snagging process for construction managers.

  • Gemdarr

    A secure platform for creating legally recognised wills online — a guided, fully digital service CodeLeap built end to end, taking people from a first draft through to a properly witnessed, executed will.

The tech

Bespoke doesn't mean exotic — the stack below is what we've shipped one-of-a-kind systems with, plus the tools of yours we make them talk to.

  • Django & Python

    The snag with bespoke systems is who maintains them in year three — we build on Django and Python because dependable beats fashionable.

  • React & React Native

    Interfaces ship in React on the web and React Native on mobile — Bonsai's app runs on one React Native codebase we built.

  • Native iOS

    For NicheCom we prototyped a native iPad app that lets surveyors draw measured floorplans on site and drives laser-measuring hardware — native where it earns its cost.

  • DocuSign

    Gemdarr's will platform orchestrates DocuSign signing and witnessing end to end — legally valid documents, not just PDFs by email.

  • Xero

    Bespoke systems earn their keep by talking to your books — we've wired Xero into a contract-to-invoice flow that raises invoices itself.

  • OpenAI

    Where a bespoke system needs to read or draft rather than just store, we've built that with OpenAI models shipped in client products.

  • AWS

    Deployment lands on AWS infrastructure we run for clients — hosted, monitored and backed up rather than handed over and hoped for.

  • And much more

    This is what comes up most often, not a limit. Bring us something that isn't on this list and we'll get up to speed on it — working with something new is the job, not an obstacle.

What our clients are saying

Real reviews from clients we have delivered for, on Clutch and elsewhere.

  • The enthusiasm, understanding of our mission, and passion from the first few minutes of the call were the deciding factors in choosing CodeLeap. Within 3 months of our app launching, we had over 1,500 downloads, appeared in leading publications from Forbes, The Metro, Marie Claire, Women's Fitness and many more, and started raising further investment.
    Charlie CEO, Becon
  • They are incredibly diligent in the quality of work they produce, and go above and beyond when it comes to solving issues faced within the project, and to ensure we meet strict project deadlines. You never feel like you are one of many clients, and they ensure they are always there to help with any need you have, no matter how big or small.
    Amelia Parmiter Marketing Manager, AWS - Marble
  • CodeLeap made me feel like my options were limitless in terms of what could be achieved, which was critical to me as we were creating something very unique. I'm glad I chose Codeleap over a large corporation as the personable approach resulted in a smooth and pleasant experience.
    James CEO, Bearable
  • Working with CodeLeap was a very good experience from both a professional and personal point of view. These people know what they are doing and are both efficient and clever and made a good partner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CodeLeap.
    John CEO, Neurometrics-Diab
  • CodeLeap adds so much value and goes above and beyond what I expected. CodeLeap's team is very flexible with all the different requests we've put in front of them. They've also been great with the whole business side of things, and being able to forecast for this industry is really helpful. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with their work — they've been incredibly helpful.
    Johanne CEO, Cherry
  • Their flexibility and focus on quality were outstanding.
    Mike Fenna CTO, Kite Insights
  • Marcelo has been wonderful throughout the process and we are very happy.
    Amrit Director, Energy Company
  • Absolutely FANTASTIC. This is very much what I had in mind. We're very pleased with your team, thank you all very much.
    Rich Director, Legal Company

Flexible, transparent pricing

Any questions? We're here to answer

Everything you might want to know before starting a project with us.

  • It depends. If an existing product genuinely covers what you need, buy it — it'll be cheaper and faster to adopt. Bespoke earns its keep when the workarounds start costing real hours: re-keying between systems, processes forced into someone else's template, per-seat fees for features you never use. And once delivered, bespoke is yours outright.

  • Discovery and design starts from £4,000 — your process mapped end to end and a costed plan before you commit. A bespoke build starts from £15,000. We always agree a fixed price before anything starts, so there are no surprises.

  • Around three months for most projects, from design through development, testing and launch. Systems that connect several departments take longer — but we build in short stages, so you see progress every couple of weeks, not at the end.

  • You do. Once the work is delivered and paid for, the software is yours — the code, the system, all of it. You're not renting it from us or tied to us to keep using it.

  • We offer a satisfaction guarantee: if you cancel within the first 21 days of the project, you get your money back in full. Beyond that, milestone payments mean you're only ever paying for delivered work — never locked into a large commitment before you've seen results.

  • Yes. We build with privacy and protection in mind from the start, and where your data lives depends on your requirements — we can work within specific compliance needs, which matters for sectors like construction, energy, and manufacturing.
