About
A small studio with published prices
We build websites for UK small businesses at fixed prices, on a modern stack, without the agency overhead that usually doubles the invoice. And we will tell you when you do not need us.
- Based in Surrey & Slough
- Working UK-wide
- Sites from £100
How we work
Four things we do differently
None of these are unusual ideas. They are just uncommon in an industry that mostly relies on vague quotes and lock-in.
- 01
Publish the price
Almost nobody in this industry does, because a published price removes the ability to charge one client three times what you charge another. We publish ours because it is the single most useful thing we can tell you, and because it means we only hear from people who already know the budget works.
- 02
Say no when it is the right answer
If a £15/month site builder is genuinely the right tool for your business, we will tell you. If your shop is too large for what we build well, we will refer you to Shopify. Taking work that does not fit costs us more in reputation than it earns in revenue.
- 03
You own everything
The domain is registered in your name. The code is yours. There is no proprietary builder you cannot export from and no account you cannot leave. If you decide to move on after launch, you take the website with you — that should be normal, and it is not.
- 04
Nothing you cannot see
You get a live preview link from the first day of the build, not a mockup and a wait. By launch day you have already watched the site come together, so there are no surprises in either direction.
Straight answers
Things most studios would rather not say
We are new, and we are not going to pretend otherwise
aicod was started in 2026. We do not have a wall of client logos or a decade of case studies to show you, and inventing them would be both dishonest and pointless — you would find out at the first project. What we have instead is published prices, a modern stack, and the willingness to tell you when we are not the right choice.
We are a small studio, deliberately
You deal with the person building the site. There is no account manager between you and the work, no pitch process, and no team of people who need to be paid before anything gets built. That is a large part of why the prices are where they are.
We use AI, and we say so
AI handles much of the production work — layout, responsive breakpoints, boilerplate, first-draft copy. That is what makes a five-page website £300 rather than £3,000. Every site is then reviewed, edited and tested by a person before it goes anywhere near your domain. We would rather explain that than quietly imply we hand-craft every line.
Built for Cloudflare
Every website we build is made for Cloudflare — not ported to it
Most small business websites are built on ageing shared hosting and then moved to a CDN as an afterthought. We do it the other way round. Cloudflare is the platform from the first line of code, which is why our sites are fast, cheap to run and hard to knock over.
Served from 300+ cities
Your site is cached on Cloudflare’s edge network. A visitor in Slough, Sydney or Seattle gets the same fast page, because it is served from the city next door rather than a server in one country.
No shared hosting, no waiting
Static pages on the edge have no database to fall over and no PHP to keep patched. There is nothing to go down at 2am on a Saturday.
Real security, included free
Cloudflare’s WAF, DDoS protection, free SSL and bot filtering sit in front of every site we ship. On traditional hosting, that is an upsell. Here it is the default.
Backends that run the same way
When a project needs forms, a database or AI, we build it on Cloudflare Workers, D1 and Workers AI — so the backend lives on the same edge network as the front end. No second provider, no second bill.

Tell us about your business.
Two or three sentences is enough. You will get an honest answer about what the site needs and exactly what it costs — including when the answer is that you do not need us.
