paytrader.net is Codena's own product. Money for UK home-improvement work is held safely until each stage of the job is confirmed, for homeowners and tradespeople. Mobile apps and a web platform, built so every balance reconciles and every movement leaves a trail.
Website for a creator and influencer management agency: rosters of creators and campaigns, enquiry forms for brands and creators, and a dashboard the agency uses to keep all of it current. Built to grow into a portal.
Website for a chartered construction manager running luxury residential projects in prime central London. Clients arrive by referral and look the firm up before they call, often on a phone.
We dig into the problem, the users and the constraints before writing a line of code. Fewer surprises later, less rework, a shape everyone agrees on.

02 Design
First draft in days
We design in the browser as much as in Figma, so what you review moves and behaves like the real thing. No mockup that falls apart on contact with real content.
03
03 Build
Days to weeks, by scope
Typed, tested, reviewed. Built to extend rather than to demo. The money-critical paths get the scrutiny they deserve; the rest stays simple on purpose.

04 Launch
Launch day, and after
We ship, measure and stay close. Handover is the keys and the documentation, not a shrug. You are never locked out of your own product.
Honest starting prices.
Three starting points and one fixed price, agreed after a short scoping call. The figure you sign off is the figure you pay.

Codena Studios is a UK web and mobile studio. Senior people do the actual work, not a layer of management in front of a rotating cast of juniors. You talk to the person writing the code.
We take on fewer projects and finish each to a standard we will happily put our name to. This site is one of them.
We build what we would be comfortable depending on ourselves. Fast, accessible, and correct where it counts.
The studio’s standard
Questions, answered.
What does a website cost?
Marketing sites start at £199, a simple app at £749 and a site with its own dashboard at £999. Every project gets one fixed price agreed after a short scoping call, so the figure you sign off is the figure you pay.
How long does a project take?
For a simple site you will see a first draft within a few days and can be live inside a week. A more involved build with custom features or a dashboard takes up to a month. Apps and bespoke products are scoped on their own terms. Either way we agree the timeline alongside the fixed price and tell you straight away if anything changes it.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
You do, in full. The repository, the hosting, the domain and every service account are set up in your name from day one. If you ever want to take the work elsewhere, nothing is held hostage.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
Yes. We are a UK studio and work remotely with clients anywhere. Our working hours overlap Europe comfortably and the American east coast in the afternoon, and we arrange calls beyond that. Prices are set in pounds sterling and we can invoice in euros, US dollars or Australian dollars at the rate on the day. Contracts are under English law, and hosting is placed in the region your customers are in.
