Websites for UK formation agents that explain the new rules and win the enquiry.

Codeeo delivers company formation website development UK formation agents, accountancy groups and corporate service providers use to turn search traffic into qualified enquiries. Since the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, a founder arriving on your site has more questions than before: identity verification, an appropriate registered office, a registered email address, and who can file on their behalf. We build sites that answer those questions clearly, present your packages honestly and route each enquiry to the right person in your firm. Every build is custom company formation website development UK firms can extend, not a template with your logo on it.

The site belongs to you, runs on a CMS your team can edit, and is set up for search across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and works with UK clients remotely, with discovery and design reviews held by video call.

What the website can include

Pages and tools a national formation business actually needs.

A formation website at national scale has to do two jobs at once. It must rank for searches that start in every part of the country, from a sole trader in Cornwall to a founder in Belfast, and it must give each visitor enough plain information to trust you with their company details. That means content written around the real registration process at Companies House, package pages that comply with consumer pricing law, and enquiry forms that ask the right questions without becoming a barrier.

The pieces below are the ones we most often scope for UK formation firms. Not every firm needs all of them in the first release. A practice that mainly incorporates companies for existing accountancy clients will weight things differently from an online formation agent selling packages to the public, and discovery decides the order.

Explain your project
  • Jurisdiction aware company type pages

    Separate pages for private limited companies, companies limited by guarantee, LLPs and other structures, with content that notes where registration in Scotland or Northern Ireland differs from England and Wales. Each page explains who the structure suits and what the client needs ready before they enquire.

    Founders land on the page that matches their structure and nation.

  • Identity verification explainer

    A clear section on how directors and people with significant control now verify their identity, either directly with GOV.UK One Login or through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. If your firm is an ACSP, the site says so plainly and explains what the client should expect from you.

    Fewer calls asking what identity verification means.

  • Package pages built for drip pricing rules

    Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, the price shown at the point of invitation must include mandatory charges. We structure package tables so the headline figure your team enters already includes the Companies House fee and VAT where they are unavoidable, with optional extras listed separately.

    Pricing that meets the rules the CMA now enforces.

  • Registered office and service address products

    Product pages for registered office, director service address and mail handling, with content that reflects the appropriate address rule and the end of PO Boxes as registered offices. Renewal terms are written in plain language ahead of the subscription contract rules expected in 2027.

    Address products presented clearly, with renewal terms visible.

  • Qualifying enquiry forms

    Forms that ask the questions your team needs before a first call: company type, number of directors and shareholders, whether any are based overseas, and whether a corporate shareholder is involved. Answers are tagged so the right adviser picks up each enquiry.

    Your advisers start each call already knowing the case.

  • Call booking and callback requests

    A booking widget or callback request tied to your advisers' calendars, so a founder who prefers to talk can choose a slot. Confirmation emails explain what documents to have ready, which shortens the first conversation for both sides.

    Prospects who want to talk get a slot without email ping pong.

  • Knowledge base with structured data

    A guides section covering confirmation statements, changing a registered office, adding a director and closing a company, written or approved by your qualified staff. FAQ and article markup help search engines understand the content, and internal links lead readers back to the relevant service.

    Informational searches become a route to paid services.

  • CRM and practice software connection

    Enquiries post into the CRM or practice management system you already use, with source and campaign data attached. Where that system has an API, we connect it directly; where it does not, we agree a secure export your team can rely on.

    No enquiry lives only in a shared inbox.

  • Company search and status checks

    A name availability check that queries the Companies House public data API as the visitor types, with guidance on sensitive words and names that are too like existing ones. Results lead into the enquiry or package page, so the search becomes the first step of the conversation rather than a dead end.

    Visitors test their company name and stay on your site.

  • Consent, cookies and accessibility

    A consent banner that meets PECR, so analytics and advertising cookies stay off until a visitor agrees, and privacy notices aligned with UK GDPR. Templates and components are tested against WCAG 2.2 AA, which supports your duties under the Equality Act.

    A site your compliance lead can sign off.

Who this is for

Formation businesses with a national audience.

Firms that form companies across the UK share a registry but not a client base. Some sell low touch packages to the public online, others handle complex structures for professional clients, and many do both. The website has to reflect which of these you are, because the content, the conversion path and the compliance load all change. These are the situations we see most often.

01

Online formation agents selling packages nationally

Your traffic comes from search across the country and most visitors decide within a few pages. The site needs fast package pages, honest all in pricing under the new consumer rules, cancellation information that reflects the Consumer Contracts Regulations, and a clean handover from enquiry or order to your formation team. Good company formation website design UK founders respond to is mostly speed, clarity and a short path, while leaving room for an adviser call when a case is not standard.

Clarity on price and process wins over feature lists.

02

Accountancy groups with offices in several regions

Formation is a route into longer engagements such as bookkeeping, payroll and tax. The site needs regional landing pages that are genuinely different, not copies with the town swapped, and enquiry routing so a lead from Leeds reaches the Leeds team. We plan location content around what each office actually offers and connect enquiries to the practice software each office uses.

Every location page must earn its place with real content.

03

Law firms offering incorporation as part of corporate work

Your clients often need shareholders' agreements, articles drafted for investment, or group structures. The website should present formation as one step in corporate advice, explain when off the shelf articles are not enough, and capture enough detail for a fee earner to scope the matter. Regulatory information required by your regulator sits in the footer and on dedicated pages.

Formation content that leads naturally into advisory work.

04

Firms rebuilding after the Companies House reforms

If your current site still describes the old process, it is costing you trust. We audit existing content against the new identity, address and email rules, rewrite or retire outdated pages, and redirect old URLs so search rankings carry over. Rebuilds of this kind usually start with the pages that bring the most traffic.

Outdated guidance is worse than none.

Six steps from first video call to a live formation website.

  1. 01Discovery by video callWe map your services, company types, nations served, enquiry volumes and who handles what, then review your current site, search data and competitors so the scope is based on evidence.
  2. 02Site structure and content planWe agree the page tree, URL structure, location strategy and which pages your qualified staff will write or approve, so legal and regulatory content has a named owner.
  3. 03Design and prototypesWireframes and visual designs for package pages, guides, forms and location pages, reviewed with your team over video call and tested for accessibility before build starts.
  4. 04Build and integrationsWe develop templates in the agreed CMS, connect forms to your CRM, set up the consent banner and analytics, and load content with structured data and internal links.
  5. 05Testing and compliance reviewPricing display, cancellation wording, privacy notices, cookies, form handling, speed and accessibility are checked, and your compliance lead signs off before anything goes live.
  6. 06Launch, redirects and handoverWe map every old URL to its new home, launch, monitor Search Console for errors, and train your team on editing content, packages and location pages in the CMS.

Questions formation firms ask before rebuilding their website.

The new Companies House requirements, honest pricing, consent and a clear enquiry path.

A current formation site needs to explain identity verification for directors and PSCs, the appropriate registered office rule and the registered email requirement. Package pages must show prices that include unavoidable charges. Cookie consent, privacy notices and accessibility need to meet UK rules. Beyond compliance, the site should capture the right details at enquiry stage and pass them to your CRM, so your team spends less time chasing basic information before a formation can start.
