Got an email from leicestercodelab.co.uk?
That was us. Leicester Code Lab is the address we use when we email Leicester businesses directly. It's the same business, not a separate company. It's Midlands Code Lab Ltd, registered in England and Wales and run from Quorn, which is LE12, so we're already in your postcode area. One studio, one phone number. The main site is midlandscodelab.co.uk.
What does a website cost in Leicester?
From £79 a month on the pay-monthly plans, with nothing to pay up front, or from £595 if you'd rather buy it outright. Hosting, updates and a rebuild every couple of years are part of the monthly price (how pay monthly works, including the contract and who owns what). The full table, with what each plan includes, is on the web design page.
Local SEO for Leicester is a £495 one-off: your Google Business Profile sorted, the pages written for the searches people here actually make, and the technical bits Google checks. Details on the local SEO page.
Who have we built for near Leicester?
EcoVerify, an EcoVadis-accredited compliance consultancy in Enderby, on Leicester's edge. We built the site and we host it, live since September 2026.
What we'd build for your kind of business
Leicester made this country's socks, jumpers and shoes for the better part of two centuries, and it still makes clothes. Next's head office is in Enderby, on the city's south-west edge. Belgrave Road, the Golden Mile, is a long run of independent restaurants, sweet shops and jewellers. The Cultural Quarter, around LCB Depot and Phoenix, has turned old industrial buildings into studios and a cinema, and the covered market has been trading in the city centre for centuries. Each one needs something different from a website.
Restaurant and shop websites
Menu or product pages that read well on a phone, opening hours that are right, and a book, order or enquiry button that works.
Manufacturer and trade websites
Spec sheets, lead times and minimum orders where a trade buyer needs them, plus a quote form and a phone number on every page.
Websites for professional firms
Named people with photos and qualifications, clear fees, and a site that looks solid from the first glance.
There's a page for each trade, with what your customers search for and what the site has to do: find the page for your trade.
Questions Leicester businesses ask us
You're in Quorn, not Leicester.
LE12, about ten miles up the A6. Same county, and we don't charge travel. Come and have a coffee in Quorn if you'd rather see where the work happens.
Do you work with Golden Mile businesses?
Yes, and we'd like to do more of it. Independent retail and hospitality is most of what we build.
Can you build the site in more than one language?
Yes. Tell us which languages on the call and we'll price it in. A version built properly in each language reads better than a translate widget.
We're a manufacturer, not a shop.
Then the site has a different job. Trade buyers want spec, lead times, minimum orders and someone to call. That needs a different page structure, and we build for it.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Your domain and content are yours from day one. On a monthly plan the site becomes yours once the initial term is served, or sooner if you pay it off (how that works). Pay once and it's yours from day one.
How will I know it's working?
Every site we build counts its enquiries and taps to call, and you get a short report on the 1st of each month. Search Console tells you what people searched to find you.
