Modern Solutions Tailored to Your Workflows
Success in London's fast-moving business ecosystem is built on operational efficiency and client satisfaction. As a digital agency, relying on rigid, pre-built applications leads to high per-user monthly fees and compromised workflows. A custom ai integration & automation tailored exactly to your business model provides the perfect combination of scale, speed, and data privacy.
Our team at Els Labs works with digital & creative agencies across London to optimize their operations and replace manual spreadsheet tracking. Many UK firms struggle with deciding whether to add a custom ai integration & automation to their current website or deploy a standalone database client. Generic SaaS packages are rarely a clean fit; they restrict user roles and charge extra for essential features. Our bespoke builds adjust to your team's exact logic, removing friction from handling client onboarding, asset gathering, and secure project tracking without massive email chains and spreadsheets.
We deliver custom Next.js and React setups that integrate directly into your existing infrastructure or host securely on your chosen subdomain. Every system we launch is engineered to be fully responsive, WCAG accessible, and optimized for search engine bots. This ensures your London-based business ranks at the top of search listings, attracting organic leads while providing your regular users with a lightning-fast digital interface.
We build using React, Next.js, and TypeScript, backed by secure, relational databases like PostgreSQL. Because we do not rely on bulky, outdated web platforms, our code is lightweight, extremely secure against hacking, and does not require monthly per-user licensing fees. You own the code and the customer data. By choosing a custom build, you ensure that your agency portal scales alongside your business without unexpected costs, while providing your London clientele with a world-class customer area they will love to use.
Creative Retainers & Client Workspaces in London
Agencies in creative clusters like Soho, MediaCityUK, or Bristol Temple Meads manage complex asset gathering and fast review cycles. A custom client workspace automates asset onboarding, design feedback collections, and monthly retainer reports.
Need a customer panel for your existing website, or a brand-new one?
We deliver flexible, API-driven architectures that fit your current digital infrastructure.
Option A: Add Panel to Your Existing Site
If you already have a functional marketing website (built on WordPress, Webflow, custom HTML, etc.) and want to add client areas, billing dashboards, or custom databases without rebuilding the front end, we construct a secure portal on a subdomain (e.g. portal.yourcompany.co.uk) and synchronize data securely via REST/GraphQL APIs.
- Preserves current SEO and design investment
- Connects securely via custom API microservices
- Role-based customer login gates
- Supports existing user databases
Option B: Build New Unified Website & Portal
For organizations ready to modernize their entire digital footprint. We build a unified Next.js application combining a beautiful, lightning-fast marketing website with a built-in user dashboard. This gives you a cohesive brand experience, incredible speed (100% Core Web Vitals score), and unmatched search engine ranking potential.
- Sub-second loading times via Next.js App Router
- Built-in, matching design language throughout
- Unified codebase for easy maintenance
- Statically generated pages for peak search engines performance

Frequently asked questions.
Find quick answers regarding our custom builds, integrations, and deployment cycles.
How do you ensure our corporate data is not used to train AI models?+
We use enterprise-grade APIs (like Google Cloud Vertex AI, OpenAI Enterprise, or Anthropic Console) where data usage terms strictly prohibit using your API data or documents for model training.
Can an AI agent write data directly into our CRM?+
Yes. We build AI integrations that convert unstructured user prompts or emails into structured JSON objects, which are then securely validated and written to your CRM, SQL database, or ERP.
What is the cost of running LLM APIs?+
API costs are usage-based, typically charging a fraction of a penny per token (words). We implement smart caching, prompt optimization, and rate limits to keep ongoing operational costs minimal.
