Services · Website development · Company formation websites
Codeeo handles company formation website development Edinburgh solicitors, accountants and corporate service providers rely on to explain Scottish incorporation properly. Most formation sites are written for England and Wales and mention Scotland in a footnote. Your clients need the opposite: content that starts from Scots law, explains why a company registered in Scotland keeps its registered office in Scotland, and covers charities, partnerships and spinouts as well as limited companies. We build sites that do this clearly and bring enquiries straight to your team.
This is custom company formation website development Edinburgh firms own outright, from code to content. Codeeo has no Edinburgh office: our team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works with Edinburgh clients remotely, with discovery, design reviews and training by video call.

What the website can include
Scotland has a separate legal system, and that shows up in formation work more often than visitors expect. Companies are registered in Scotland or in England and Wales, and the choice has lasting effects. Documents are executed under Scottish rules, contracts and terms may be governed by Scots law, and some of the most common structures, such as the Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, are not registered at Companies House at all.
A formation website for an Edinburgh firm earns trust by getting these points right and saying them plainly. It also has to serve founders well beyond the city: clients in Glasgow, Fife, Aberdeen and the Highlands often find an Edinburgh adviser through search and never visit the office. The features below are the ones we most often plan for firms here. Few firms need every one at launch; discovery sets the order based on the work you want more of and the enquiries that currently go unanswered.
A guide that explains what it means to register a company in Scotland, including the requirement for the registered office to stay in Scotland, and when a founder might choose otherwise. Your solicitors approve the wording, and the page leads to a consultation rather than a decision made alone.
Founders understand the jurisdiction choice before they commit.
Separate pages for the Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered by OSCR rather than Companies House, and for the charitable company limited by guarantee, which needs both. Content sets out the practical differences so a new charity's trustees can see which route to discuss with you.
Third sector enquiries arrive already pointed at the right structure.
Content for academic founders and early stage teams spinning out of Edinburgh's universities, covering share structures between founders and institutions, investor ready articles and what to prepare before a first meeting. Enquiry forms ask about the institution and stage so the right adviser responds.
Spinout teams see a firm that knows their situation.
A page for Scottish limited partnerships and general partnerships, written cautiously and approved by your corporate team, with an enquiry form that captures partners, purpose and any overseas involvement. These enquiries often need extra due diligence, and the form helps your team assess them early.
Higher risk structures are screened before the first call.
Plain language guidance, written by your solicitors, on how incorporation documents and later company documents are signed under Scottish practice, including electronic signatures where your firm uses them. It prevents a common source of delay when clients assume English rules apply.
Fewer documents returned for re signing.
Website terms, privacy notices and cancellation information structured so your lawyers can set governing law and jurisdiction correctly for a Scottish firm. Pre contract information meets the Consumer Contracts Regulations, and any package prices include VAT and unavoidable fees under the 2024 drip pricing rules.
Legal pages that match how your firm actually contracts.
A booking flow that lets a founder in Inverness or Dumfries choose a video slot with your advisers, or an office meeting if they are local. Confirmation emails list what to prepare for identity verification, and every booking reaches your CRM with its source.
Clients across Scotland book without a trip to the capital.
Technical SEO, structured data and content that target how people in Scotland search, including terms like Scottish company and SCIO that national agents rarely cover well. Search Console, sitemaps and a correct Google Business Profile for your Edinburgh office are set up from launch.
Rankings for the questions national sites answer badly.
A name checker built on the Companies House public data API, so a founder can test a proposed name and see whether a similar Scottish or UK company already exists. Guidance explains sensitive words and names needing approval, and the chosen name carries into the enquiry form.
A useful first step that keeps founders on your site.
A PECR compliant cookie banner, a privacy notice under UK GDPR, and templates tested to WCAG 2.2 AA so the site meets your Equality Act duties. Identity documents are kept out of ordinary contact forms and routed to a secure system if they are collected at all.
A site your compliance partner can approve without caveats.
Who this is for
Formation work in Edinburgh is shaped by the city's legal and financial sector, its universities and its large charity sector. Firms in the New Town, around Lothian Road and out at Edinburgh Park all compete for searches that start across Scotland. The four situations below are the ones we see most, and the site plan changes with each.
Your formation work feeds wider corporate and charities practice. The website presents incorporation, SCIO registration and charitable company formation as entry points to ongoing advice, with each team's content approved by its own partners. Enquiries route to the right department, and regulatory information required for a Scottish law firm sits where clients expect to find it. Charity clients often arrive with a board of volunteer trustees, so the content avoids jargon and explains what each trustee will be asked to provide.
Formation pages that open doors to wider legal work.
You incorporate companies so you can keep the accounts, payroll and tax work that follow. Company formation website design Edinburgh practices need here is warm and practical: guides that explain incorporation in Scottish terms, bundles your team edits in the CMS, and a booking flow that turns a question into a meeting. Location content covers Edinburgh and the Lothians honestly, naming the areas you actually serve rather than listing every town in Scotland.
A formation enquiry should become a long client relationship.
Your clients come from university research, accelerator programmes and the technology firms in Leith and the city centre. The site speaks to founders and investors, explains share structures and investor ready articles in clear language, and gives teams a fast route to a partner who understands spinouts. Because these teams often include co founders based outside the UK, the content also explains how identity verification works for directors who are abroad.
Content that sounds like you have done this before.
You provide registered office services in Scotland, confirmation statements and ongoing secretarial support. The website separates these products clearly, explains the appropriate address rule for a Scottish registered office, and describes renewals plainly ahead of the subscription contract rules expected in 2027. Existing clients get a simple route to add a new company or service without starting a fresh enquiry, which keeps your secretarial team from re entering details they already hold.

How we work together
Some Edinburgh firms ask us for the complete site. Others want a specific addition, such as a charity formation section or a booking integration, on a site they already run. A third option is a dedicated developer working with your marketing team month by month. As a company formation web development company Edinburgh firms work with remotely, we keep every project on scheduled video calls and a shared board. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Edinburgh firm websites usually run on WordPress with a custom theme so staff can publish guides easily, or on Next.js with a headless CMS when several teams share one large site. Hosting and data location follow your privacy assessment.

Yes, because the content has to start from Scots law.
The build itself uses the same tools, but the content and structure differ. A Scottish firm's site needs to explain registration in Scotland, the registered office rule, Scottish execution practice, SCIOs and charitable companies, and terms set under Scots law. Most formation templates are written for England and Wales, so reusing one tends to produce pages that are wrong for your clients. We plan the content around Scotland from the first discovery call.
