About Us

CodeCrane exists for one reason: building a proper website from scratch takes too long, and hiring a developer to build one from a blank page costs too much. We build the whole thing once, to a high standard, and let you take it away and make it yours.

What we do

Every product in our shop is a website unit — a complete, working website for a specific type of business (an estate agency, a sports club, a hair and beauty salon, a dating platform, a news aggregator, a mutual home exchange service, and more) built with PHP, MySQL, and a modern responsive design. Each one includes everything needed to run it: the full source code, a database schema, an installer script, and setup documentation.

You get it one of two ways:

  • Self-install — download the zip fileset and schema.sql, upload it to your own hosting via cPanel or FTP, run the installer, and you're live.
  • Install Service — tell us your hosting details and we install and configure it for you, so you never have to touch a terminal.

Why a website unit instead of a template?

A theme gives you a look. A website unit gives you a working system — products, bookings, listings, members, whatever the business needs — already wired up to a real database, with an admin area to manage it day to day. You're not starting with a blank page and a design; you're starting with a business that already runs.

Who we build for

Small business owners who need to be live this month, not next quarter. Agencies and freelancers who want a solid, professional starting point they can customise and re-skin for clients. Anyone who would rather spend their budget on marketing and stock than on redeveloping a booking system that's already been built a hundred times before.

Our standards

Every website unit we sell is built the same way we'd build it for ourselves: clean, documented code, a proper database structure, responsive design that works on a phone as well as a desktop, and an installer that does the boring setup work for you. We test the install flow before anything goes on sale.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

“We went from a static one-page site to a full listings platform in about a week, including the time it took me to add our first batch of properties. The install service handled everything on our cPanel hosting — I never had to touch a config file.”

Sarah Whitfield Coastal Nest Estate Agents

“Managing memberships used to mean a shared spreadsheet and a lot of chasing renewals by email. The sports club website unit gave us a proper members' area and an admin panel our volunteer committee can actually use without any training.”

James Okafor Ace Sports Club

“As a one-person operation I needed something I could manage myself day to day without calling a developer every time. The admin panel covers everything I actually need, and the code underneath is clean enough that I've been able to make a few tweaks of my own.”
