Why Choose Blue Lobster Design?

Blue Lobster Design are professional. Simon & Kathryn are both well respected in their fields of expertise and pride themselves on delivering quality products on time and within budget - with a creative flair. With a significant network of support from people who are at the top of their profession, Blue Lobster Design are able to undertake a wider variety of work than most mainstream agencies and deliver at a very competitive price without compromising on quality. We don't have large plush offices and we don't spend exhaustive amounts of money on advertising so our prices don't include these overheads! In fact, most of our clients hear of us by word of mouth or are repeat business. All work is delivered to the latest industry standards.

With the ability to develop in all the mainstream technologies, and a few obscure languages too, we are able to carry out complete development projects or support existing in-house teams. Languages including: PHP, ASP, (X)HTML, XML, CSS, Flex, JavaScript, Java, C, C++, Objective-C, Python, Perl, CL/RPG400, COBOL, .NET (C# / VB) etc.

When we build something for you, we don't own it, you do. There are no license fees for code that we build. You are free to take that code and do whatever you want with it.

Our History

With such significant experience and, for Simon, a stint heading up a team at one of the NMA (New Media Age) top 100 creative agencies, Simon & Kathryn decided in the middle of 2007 that Blue Lobster Design should be born on the East Coast. After the completion of a significant project for the British Antarctic Survey, for Kathryn, Blue Lobster Design began.

Since the start of 2008, Blue Lobster Design has established a significant customer base, including start up businesses, schools, government agencies and large PLC's. Blue Lobster Design now employs eight people full time.
