What is Big Lemon’s Story so far?

Since 2014, we've built a studio where the chance to be creative, collaborative, and to challenge ourselves is the most important thing in the world.

There's nothing we love more than sinking our teeth into a new project, where we try to bring a sense of fun and innovation to everything we do. We help our clients to realise their ambitions with innovative techy solutions; whether that's with a mobile app, an internal web app, scripts and bots to cut out inefficient processes, or a beautifully realised website.

We spend our days meeting new people, strategizing, and building new products that we believe in, that have an impact, make a difference, and that exceed our client's expectations every time. Over the years we've grown and developed, but our clients have never stopped being at the heart of everything we do.

We spend time getting to know them and their problems before diving in and creating a solution that blows them away. We listen to what our clients care about and we seamlessly integrate with their current business processes to better understand how they work.

We've built our team around our clients’ needs and work collaboratively whenever we can with other creatives.

Design, development, and execution - Tech With Purpose - is what we're all about.
