Software Development Company for the United Kingdom
A proven development partner for British businesses — we have already delivered for UK clients, at rates London agencies cannot match.
British companies are squeezed between London agency rates of £70–£150 per hour and a developer market where senior hires take six months to land. StellarCode has already delivered production systems for UK clients, and offers a straightforward alternative: senior engineers at £20–£40 per hour, working hours that overlap the entire UK morning and early afternoon, and communication in fluent English as standard.
Sri Lanka’s working day runs 4.5–5.5 hours ahead of the UK, which gives London teams something rare in offshore work: genuine same-day collaboration. Your 9 AM standup is our mid-afternoon; questions asked before lunch in London are answered, built and pushed before your day ends.
Why businesses in the United Kingdom choose StellarCode
A fraction of UK agency pricing
At £20–£40/hour against £70–£150/hour, a £60,000 agency quote becomes a £18,000–£28,000 StellarCode project — with fixed quotes, so budget sign-off is one conversation, not a quarterly renegotiation.
Proven UK delivery
The United Kingdom is one of the markets we have already shipped for — real production systems for British clients, referenced in our portfolio, built under UK expectations of process and polish.
Same-day collaboration hours
Only 4.5–5.5 hours ahead of UK time: your entire morning and early afternoon overlaps our working day. Standups, demos and urgent fixes all happen live, not next-day.
GDPR-native engineering
UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act shape how we design by default — data minimisation, EU/UK data residency options, consent flows and DPAs are familiar ground, not an add-on.
What the same project costs
| Senior development rate | Hourly range |
|---|---|
| Typical UK agency rate | £70 – £150 / hour |
| StellarCode | £20 – £40 / hour |
Senior engineers, British-friendly working hours and fixed project quotes — typically 60–75% below UK agency pricing for the same scope.
Working hours that work
Sri Lanka is UTC+5:30 — 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of UK time
Your 9 AM London is our 1:30–2:30 PM: the whole UK morning and early afternoon is live overlap. We run standups, demos and pair-review sessions inside UK business hours, with async delivery continuing after your day ends.
Compliance & data protection
We engineer to UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 expectations: data processing agreements, UK/EU data residency where required, privacy-by-design architecture, cookie and consent implementation, and audit-friendly logging. For fintech work we build with FCA-regulated client expectations — audit trails, access controls and change management — in mind.

Working with StellarCode from the United Kingdom — FAQ
Have you actually worked with UK businesses before?
Yes — the UK is one of the countries where StellarCode has already delivered production work, and it is listed in the “Countries We’ve Served” section of our site alongside Japan, Kenya and Sri Lanka. That experience covers UK expectations on communication, GDPR handling and delivery standards, and we are happy to walk through relevant case studies on a call.
How does GDPR compliance work with an offshore team?
The same way it works with a domestic one: through architecture and contracts. We sign data processing agreements, host data in UK/EU regions where residency matters, minimise what leaves production environments, and design consent, retention and deletion flows to UK GDPR standards. Offshore development does not require offshoring your users’ data.
What are your rates compared to a London agency?
London agencies commonly quote £70–£150 per hour; StellarCode’s senior engineers are £20–£40 per hour, and most projects are delivered on fixed quotes rather than hourly billing. In practice a £60,000 London proposal is usually a £18,000–£28,000 StellarCode project for identical scope and stack.
Can we have meetings during UK business hours?
Easily — this is one of the best time-zone pairings in offshore development. Sri Lanka is only 4.5–5.5 hours ahead, so your entire morning and early afternoon falls inside our working day. Standups, sprint demos and workshops all happen live in UK hours; only your late afternoon runs async.
