Outgrown your spreadsheets?
The business runs on a spreadsheet only one person understands, three apps that don’t talk to each other, or a paper form someone types up later, or loses. It works until that person is off, the file breaks or the business grows.
The longer it runs that way, the more it costs in time, mistakes and knowledge that lives in one person’s head.
What we build
Customer and staff portals
Logins where people submit forms, see progress or download documents.
Admin systems
One place to manage jobs, orders, bookings or records, instead of five spreadsheets.
Quoting and document tools
Calculations, quotes and PDFs generated from information you already collect.
Booking and scheduling
Rules, deposits and availability that a standard plugin can’t handle.
Custom dashboards
Data from all your systems in one view, so the numbers you check every week are already there.

If it’s slowing your team down and nothing off the shelf fits, tell us about it.

About Code Addicts
Code Addicts grew out of a traditional web agency. Over the years, clients kept asking us to connect their websites to everything else: their CRM, their accounts, their booking tools. We were good at it and we enjoyed it, so in 2018 we launched Code Addicts to focus on it: automation and bespoke software, with websites that plug into the rest of the business. Based in the UK, working with businesses around the world.
Founded by Nathan Roberts, a developer with 20+ years’ experience. Every project is handled by a senior developer from start to finish, so you never have to explain your business twice.

Questions people ask
Is bespoke software expensive?
It costs more than a subscription to start, but nothing per user and nothing you outgrow. We scope a small first phase so you see value early. The price depends on screens, users, rules and integrations, and you get a fixed written quote.
What is bespoke software?
Software built for one business and the way it works, rather than a product sold to thousands of companies. You decide what it does, and nothing is there that you don’t need.
Who owns it?
Your data is always yours. We host and look after the system for you, and who owns the code is agreed in writing before we start, so there are no surprises later.
Where is our data kept?
On our managed cloud servers, in the region you need, such as the UK, EU or US. Access is limited to the people who need it, and we can sign a data processing agreement if you need one under GDPR.
What if you’re not around?
It’s built with widely used open-source technologies and documented, so another developer can pick it up.
Can it connect to our other systems?
Yes. See the systems we’ve connected on the process automation page.
