For brand and marketing leads

Make the site people talk about.

Web app, mobile app and interactive platform studio: web apps, iOS and Android apps, interactive maps, and community platforms with courses, memberships and events.

Digital Mycelium. Immersive, animated, interactive brand experiences, designed and engineered by one senior team. For the launch that gets shared, remembered and shortlisted, not scrolled past.

Scroll to descend

The concept was brilliant.

Then the build came back looking like a template with your logo on it.

Beautiful, and slow.

It won the pitch on a desktop in the boardroom and stutters on the phone where your audience actually is.

Handed down the line.

The agency that sold it passed it to whoever was free. You spent the project chasing people you had never met.

Attention is the most expensive thing you buy.

You pay for every visitor, through media, through PR, through years of brand building. Most sites spend that attention in eight seconds and give nothing back.

We are the creatives that have crafted some of the world's best technologies, and now you have direct access to us, without the middle man. We've removed the middle men, expensive offices, and countless project managers to give you access to some of the world's most talented professionals at a fraction of the cost of big agencies. We craft high quality solutions that are smart, secure, fit for purpose and delivered on time.

What we make

What we make

Tell us what you are launching.

A site people play with holds them for minutes. They explore it, they send it to someone, they come back to show a friend. That time is the return on everything you spent to get them there. Motion, depth and interaction are not decoration. They are how you keep what you paid for.

Why us

Why brands bring us in

  1. You are looking at one.

    This site is a living, 262,000-particle organism rendered on your graphics card, and it runs on a phone. That is the standard we build to.

  2. Senior people only.

    The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it. No account managers relaying messages, no juniors learning on your budget.

  3. Design and engineering, one team.

    No hand-off from a design agency to a build agency, where the ambition quietly gets value-engineered out.

  4. Tested, and under warranty.

    Every build is tested rigorously before it reaches you, on real phones and real browsers. We deliver it bug-free and back that with a warranty: if a bug turns up, we fix it at our cost.

How it goes

  1. A conversation

    You tell us what you need to happen. We ask about the business, the audience and the deadline, and give you an honest view on fit.

  2. A plan and a price

    A written plan of what we will build, in what order, for how much. No surprises later.

  3. The build

    You see working progress throughout, tested as we go on real phones and browsers. Decisions are made with you, not for you.

  4. Launch, and after

    We launch it, measure how people really use it, and keep improving what matters.

Our commitment

We give 5% of all profits to protecting the ocean

“You gotta hire these guys, they are awesome!”

The site speaks for itself, but what speaks even louder was the ease of the creation process. What's key is the site's responsiveness to all devices and the clean, professional feel. They have a team of digital wizards and if you're lucky enough to hire them to build your site, you're going to be as honoured as I am.

Next step

Ready when you are.

Every enquiry is read by the founder. Nothing is shared, and there is no sales sequence.

Questions people ask first

What happens if something breaks after launch?

We fix it. Everything we build is tested rigorously before it goes live and comes with a warranty, so if a bug turns up, putting it right is our cost, not yours.

Can you work with our creative agency or in-house design team?

Yes, often. We can build from their designs or develop the concept with them. We are used to being the engineering muscle behind someone else's idea, and to protecting it.

Will it work on phones and older devices?

Yes. We build in quality tiers, so a flagship desktop gets the full experience and an older phone gets a lighter one that still looks intentional. Nobody gets a broken page.

What about SEO and accessibility?

Everything important is real text in the page, fast to load and readable by search engines and screen readers. The spectacle sits on top of a site that works without it.

How long does it take?

It depends on the ambition and on the launch date. Tell us the date on the first call and we will tell you honestly what fits.

Your launch

Tell us what you are launching.

The date, the audience and the feeling you want people to leave with. We will come back with an honest view on what is possible.

What do you need?

Pick as many as apply.

Rough budget?

Optional, but it helps us scope properly.
