Common questions from Leeds businesses about working with 5labs
We are based in Edinburgh, which is a direct train ride from Leeds. We work with Leeds clients remotely through video calls, shared project tools, and regular updates. For important milestones, we are happy to travel to Leeds and meet face to face.
We offer all 12 of our core services to Leeds businesses: web development, mobile app development, ecommerce development, AI development, SaaS development, custom software, SEO, digital marketing, Google Ads, Meta Ads, AI automation, and social media marketing.
We start with a discovery call to understand your business and goals. From there, we put together a detailed project plan with clear milestones and regular review points. Communication is flexible. We are happy to use whatever tools work best for you, from Slack and Teams to email and phone.
Leeds has a strong and varied economy. We work with businesses in financial services, legal, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and the growing digital and tech sector. Our experience spans both established companies looking to modernise and new businesses building from scratch.
Costs depend on scope and complexity. Websites typically start from £2,000, mobile apps from £5,000, and marketing retainers from £500 per month. We provide detailed, itemised quotes before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Edinburgh to Leeds is a direct train journey, and we are happy to travel for project kickoffs, strategy sessions, or key milestone reviews. Many of our clients prefer a blend of remote work and occasional in-person meetings, which works well for both sides.
A standard website takes 4 to 6 weeks, a mobile app 8 to 12 weeks, and a custom software project 10 to 16 weeks. SEO and marketing campaigns are ongoing, with initial results typically visible within 2 to 4 months. We agree a clear timeline during the proposal stage.
Leeds has a strong agency scene, but most firms focus on either development or marketing. 5labs delivers both, along with AI and custom software, all from a single team. This means better coordination, fewer handovers, and a more cohesive end product. Our Edinburgh base also means competitive pricing without cutting corners on quality.
