Work process

The same four stages, every build

You always know which stage you are in and what comes out of it.

01

Discovery & scope

We map what already exists: the systems you run, the data you hold, who needs access and what the constraints are. We use AI where it speeds the groundwork up, but the scope is read, questioned and agreed with you — never generated and handed over.

You approve the written scope before any design starts.

02

Design & prototype

Wireframes first, then a prototype you can click through and react to. This is the cheapest point at which to change your mind, so it is where we ask you to.

Nothing is built until you sign off the prototype. Changing a wireframe costs minutes; changing built software costs days.

03

Build

Delivered in increments you can see working, not one hand-off at the end. We use AI where it is genuinely faster, and every line is reviewed by the engineer who owns it. Nothing reaches you that a human has not read.

Working software on a staging URL throughout, not a status report.

04

Test, launch & hand over

Automated and manual testing, then deployment. The documentation ships with the build, so your own team can run it — and ongoing support is there if you would rather we did.

You accept the build before it goes live, and you own what you paid for.

Where we stand

What we will not tell you

Most of this industry is sold on claims nobody checks. These are the ones we have decided not to make — and you can verify every one by reading the rest of the site.

  • No borrowed proof

    No logos, no testimonials

    There are none on this site because there are none we can publish yet. We will not display a logo we have no permission to use or a review we did not receive — inventing either is unlawful in the UK under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. When there is work that can be named, it will appear with the client's name on it.

  • No guarantees

    No promised rankings

    Nobody can guarantee a position in Google or a citation in an AI answer, because no search engine or assistant sells one. Anyone promising otherwise is describing something they do not control. We will tell you what we can change and what we cannot.

  • No fixed price list

    Scoped, not quoted from a menu

    Every build is different, so there is no tier to pick from. We will tell you what the price depends on, roughly where it sits against UK market rates, and what we need to know to quote it properly.

  • No overreach

    We will say no

    If off-the-shelf software would serve you better than a build, we will say so. We do not sell enterprise-level service and will not stretch to it. A project we are wrong for costs you more than the one we turn down.

  • No lock-in

    You can leave

    Documentation ships with the build so your own team can maintain it. Nothing is written to make us hard to replace. The heading on our homepage is “software you can maintain without us” and it is meant literally.

  • No AI slop

    A human reads everything

    We use AI where it genuinely speeds the work up, and every line is reviewed by the engineer who owns it. Your scope is read, questioned and agreed with you — not generated and handed over.

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

Who are Codexlava?
Codexlava is a UK software development consultancy. It builds custom software, minimum viable products, web applications, mobile apps, e-commerce sites and data analysis, and adds AI features to the systems businesses already run, for startups and growing businesses. CODEXLAVA LTD is registered in England and Wales, company number 16654084, and works with clients across the United Kingdom.
Where is Codexlava based?
The trading address is 182-184 High Street North, East Ham, London E6 2JA, and Codexlava works with clients across the United Kingdom. The registered office on Companies House differs from the trading address, which is normal for a UK limited company and is on the public record.
What size of client do you work with?
From a single founder validating an idea through to established small and medium businesses. The common thread is a specific problem worth solving rather than a particular headcount. Codexlava does not sell enterprise-level service and will say so rather than stretch to it.
How do you work with clients?
Through four stages, each with a decision that belongs to you: discovery and scope, design and prototype, build, then test, launch and hand over. Nothing is built until you have signed off the prototype, because changing a wireframe costs minutes and changing built software costs days.
Do you use AI to build software?
Yes, where it genuinely speeds the work up, and every line is reviewed by the engineer who owns it. Nothing reaches a client that a human has not read. The scope of a project is read, questioned and agreed with you rather than generated and handed over.
Why are there no client logos or testimonials on this site?
Because there are none that can be published yet. Codexlava will not display a logo it has no permission to use or a review it did not receive; inventing either is unlawful in the UK under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. When there is work that can be named with permission, it will appear here with the client's name on it.
What happens to the code when the project ends?
Documentation ships with the build, so your own team can maintain the work rather than depending on Codexlava to do it. Nothing is written in a way that is designed to lock you to one supplier.
