For foundersNot you?
We design and build your app.
Website, web app and mobile app development studio: web apps, iOS and Android apps, interactive maps, and community platforms with courses, memberships and events.
Digital Mycelium designs and builds websites, web apps and mobile apps.
iPhone, Android and web apps, from first version to App Store launch, with payments, logins and AI features that hold up when real users arrive. First versions from £5,000.
A real product, not a demo.
Logins, payments, data and security done properly, so it holds up when real users and investors look closely.
Built it with AI and now it's breaking?
We take prototypes made with AI coding tools, find what is fragile, fix it and turn it into a product you can grow.
One team, idea to App Store.
Design, build, store review and launch, at a fixed price for an agreed scope.
Straight answers, and dates that hold.
The person who scopes your project leads it and answers your messages. You see working progress throughout, and a launch date we agree is one we keep.

Tell us where you are: an idea, some designs, or something already built. We'll tell you honestly what it would take.
Why us
Why founders choose us
We are founders too.
Unite is our own invite-only social app, with a live map, QR ticketing and escrow payments. We know the pressure of shipping with your own money.
Senior people only.
The person who scopes your project leads it to launch and is the one you talk to. No account managers relaying messages, no juniors learning on your budget.
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.
You own all of it.
The code, the accounts, the data and the domain are yours from day one. Stay with us for years or take it in-house. Both are fine.
How it goes
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.
A plan and a price
A written plan of what we will build, in what order, for how much. No surprises later.
The build
You see working progress throughout, tested as we go on real phones and browsers. Decisions are made with you, not for you.
Launch, and version two
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
This is why we commit 5% of all profits towards cleaning and protecting the ocean and the life below water.

“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.

Read how we work firstQuestions 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 help me work out what to build first?
Yes, and it is often the most valuable part. We will push back on features that do not earn their place in version one.
I built a prototype with an AI tool. Can you take it from here?
Yes. We read what the tool produced, keep what is sound, fix what is fragile, especially logins, payments and data security, and turn it into something you can launch and grow.
Do I own the code?
Completely, from the first commit. It lives in your accounts. That matters to investors and to you.
Can you work with my technical co-founder?
Yes. We can build alongside them, or build the foundation they take over.
What does a first version cost?
A focused first version can start around £5,000; a full platform with apps is more. We give you a fixed price for a defined scope before we start, and we will tell you honestly what your budget can do well.
Do you have designers, illustrators and specialists in-house?
We keep a small senior core and bring in the right designers, illustrators, motion and 3D artists and specialist engineers for each project, because the best person for one project is rarely the best for the next. You get one point of contact who leads them all, and one fixed price.
Can you build AI into it?
Yes. We build AI features into websites and apps: assistants that answer questions, search that understands what people mean, tools that draft and sort content, and automations that save your team time. We use the leading AI models, keep your data in accounts you control, and only suggest AI where it earns its place.
