Caldec is a UK-wide digital studio for small businesses, growing organisations, schools, charities and the public sector. We design, build and look after the websites, web apps and data tools they run on.
Outcomes
Technology is only worth paying for if it changes how your organisation works. These are the results we design every project around.
01
Automations take the copying, chasing and report building off your team, so people spend their time on the work that needs them.
02
Dashboards and reports everyone trusts, from the boardroom to the front line, all built from the same reliable source.
03
Live numbers and simple alerts show where the friction is and where the risks lie, while there is still time to act.
04
Websites and apps built around how you actually work, not the other way round, and simple for your team to use.
Services
From a first website to custom tools and reporting for the whole organisation. Most projects combine two or three of these, delivered by one team from start to finish.
Not sure which you need?
Tell us the problem you want to solve and we will recommend the simplest way to fix it, even if that is not us.
Data protection
Whatever we build for you, the information inside it belongs to you, and so does the tool itself.
Owned by you
Your data, the code and the designs all belong to you. No lock-in, and a full handover whenever you want one.
Never shared
We never share or sell your data, or use it for anything other than your project.
Secure by design
Secure sign-in, access set by role, encrypted connections and regular backups, built in from the start.
Kept where you choose
In your own Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account, or on secure hosting we look after for you.
Examples
Example projects that show what we build. The organisations are illustrative, and the learning platform example is working code you can try.
Example project · Learning platform
Mandatory training tracked across three systems and a shared inbox, replaced by one platform that assigns courses by role, reminds overdue learners automatically and produces audit reports in a click.
See the full example and try itExample project · Operations portal
A live portal for planners and drivers, connected to the vehicle tracking and finance systems the business already uses.
Example project · Analytics
A board-level overview for directors, the same figures broken down for managers, and live views for frontline teams, refreshed every morning.
Example project · Staff app
Rotas, shift swaps and leave requests on any phone, with Google or Microsoft sign-in and no app store needed.

Combined projects
A website with a secure sign-in area, web apps and custom tools inside it, and a dashboard showing how it is all going. We build it as one platform, with one design, one sign-in and one set of data, which usually costs less than building each part on its own.
Price on application
Use the prices above as a guide to each part.
Discuss a combined projectWebsite
Your public pages, where people find you and get in touch.
Secure sign-in
Accounts for customers and staff, each seeing only what they should.
Web apps and custom tools
Bookings, orders, jobs, records or your own idea, all built in.
Dashboard
Live numbers from everything above, for you and your team.
Monthly hosting and support once your 2 free weeks end: hosting and SSL, updates, daily backups, round-the-clock monitoring and, on larger plans, time for small changes.
Registered charities get 25% off: just mention your charity number. Large projects are quoted individually, so the price fits the work. Extra work outside a project or Caldec Plan is charged at £395 a day.
Process
Four clear stages, with senior people at every one.
Free, no obligation
A free call or workshop to understand what you need, followed by a written fixed-price proposal with a clear scope and timeline.
1 to 4 weeks
Designs and clickable prototypes you can try before anything is built, so you see exactly what you are getting.
Regular previews
Working versions to try as we go on a private preview link, usually every week or two, so there are no surprises on launch day.
2 weeks' free support
A planned launch and a walkthrough for your team, 2 weeks of free support for fixes and small tweaks, then a Caldec Plan that suits you.
About
Caldec started in 2023. Between us, we bring 15+ years of experience from inside large organisations, turning complex operational data into clear decisions for boards and senior leaders. We set up Caldec to offer that expertise to organisations of every size, along with the websites and apps that bring it together.
Every project is led by one of our co-founders, from the first call to launch and beyond, with no account managers in the middle.
Caldec is led jointly by its two co-founders.
Co-founder · Data and reporting
Declan turns raw data into reporting people can rely on. He builds the dashboards, reports and data pipelines behind our work, and brings hands-on experience of high-volume operations and a background in medical information and social research, so accuracy comes as standard.
Co-founder · Analytics and operations
Kevin finds where operations lose time, money and control. He goes straight to the root cause of a problem, spots risks before they become threats and turns complex detail into clear direction, then builds the automated workflows and secure data practices that keep improvements in place.
Partners
We work alongside trusted specialists, so every part of how your organisation runs is in expert hands.
Comprehensive services designed to integrate Google Workspace seamlessly into your daily operations, empowering small to large enterprises with cutting-edge digital solutions in a secure and scalable way.
For Google Workspace licences, setup and administration, we recommend L23 Digital.
A one-page website costs £495 to £995 and a small business website £995 to £2,500. Larger custom websites start from £2,500 and are priced on application. Either way, you get a written fixed price before any work starts.
A one-page website usually takes about a week, and a small business website two to three weeks. Reports, dashboards and simple tools take one to three weeks, and larger web apps two to four months, depending on their size.
One of our co-founders leads every project, from the first call to launch and beyond. When a project needs specialist skills, we bring in trusted partners, and you always know who is doing what.
Software people use in a web browser. They open it with a link, sign in, add information and get things done, such as booking a room or logging a job, on a phone, tablet or computer. This website is one too: you can install it, and it still opens without a connection.
You do, along with the code and designs we create for you. We never share or sell your data, and everything we build has secure sign-in, access set by role and encrypted connections.
Every project includes 2 weeks of free support. After that, a Caldec Plan covers hosting, security updates, backups and monitoring, with support from the people who built it. Larger plans include time each month for small changes.
