Custom web development agency — Websites & software that earn their keep.

Cortexley is a design and engineering studio based in Pakistan that builds marketing websites, Shopify storefronts, web applications and custom software — including POS, CRM and ERP systems — for businesses in the UK, UAE, USA and Pakistan. The same senior team designs, builds, launches and supports every project.

A professionally built business website typically costs £1,200–£4,000. A custom Shopify store typically costs £2,000–£7,000. A web application with logins, dashboards or custom business logic usually lands between £5,000 and £18,000. Cortexley gives a fixed-price proposal after a free 30-minute scoping call.

Custom software such as a point-of-sale system, CRM or ERP module typically costs £6,000–£25,000 and takes 8–20 weeks. The price depends on the number of modules, branches, user roles and hardware integrations such as barcode scanners and receipt printers.

A business website takes 3–6 weeks. A Shopify store takes 4–8 weeks. A web application takes 8–16 weeks depending on complexity. Every project starts with a short discovery phase, and clients get a live staging link to review progress from the first week of the build.

Cortexley is based in Pakistan and most clients are in the UK, UAE and USA. We work fully remote with async updates, a weekly call and a staging environment you can open at any time. The time difference with the UK is four to five hours, which gives a useful overlap every working day.

You get senior engineering at materially lower cost. Pakistan-based studios like Cortexley typically charge 30–50% less than a comparable UK or US agency because overheads are lower — not because standards are. Ask any agency for live projects you can click; ours are linked throughout this site.

Yes. Cortexley offers monthly retainers for maintenance, new features, performance work and CMS support. Retainer clients keep the same engineers who built their site, get priority response times and never have to re-brief a new team.
