Your mobile app development partner for London businesses

Ribena's Doodle Your World AR app, built by Storm Digital

We're based just outside London, in Surrey, and a good chunk of our client work is for London-based businesses, from first-time founders to established teams adding to an existing product. Distance has never really been the issue people expect it to be: most of the relationship happens over a call or a shared board, and we're on the train into the city when it's worth being in the room.

What's included

The same approach whether you're in Shoreditch or Surrey: understand what the app needs to do, then build it properly, often in React Native for a single cross-platform codebase, native when the project calls for it.

Common questions

Do you have a London office?

No, we're based in Surrey, about 30 minutes from central London by train. We work remotely day-to-day with London clients and meet in person when it's useful, rather than pretending to be somewhere we're not.

Does being outside London affect cost or speed?

If anything it helps: our overheads are lower than a central London studio, and that shows up in project cost rather than in how available we are.

Do you build native apps or React Native?

Depends on the app: React Native gets most clients to iOS and Android from one codebase without doubling the build cost, which matters when budgets are tight. We'll flag it clearly if native is genuinely the better fit for what you're building.

Will you sign an NDA before we share details?

Yes, always happy to sign one before we get into specifics. Plenty of our London clients are working on something they'd rather keep quiet until launch, and we treat it that way throughout.

What happens after launch?

We don't tend to disappear after handover. Bug fixes, OS updates and new features usually keep coming as the app beds in, remotely just as easily as if we were down the road.
