Hello & Welcome

At bluemungus, we specialise in iPhone and other mobile Application (App) development in Scotland. We create our apps in-house at our offices in Leith, Edinburgh, handling scoping and specification, interface and interactivity design, programming, testing, final production and publication to the iTunes App Store.

We have 2 apps live in the Apple iTunes App Store: I’m Proclaimer (free) and iProclaimer (£0.59). We are currently in production of 3 more apps all for release by end August 2010.

Online shop with a ‘Twist’!

Bluemungus have just finished and launched a new website & online shop for Edinburgh based product designer/maker ‘Urban Twist’.

Urban Twist (aka Cameron Pitcairn) makes and sells “Designer Homewares with a Twist”. A great selection of Vases, Bowls, Jewellery and Candle holders all made from precision laser-cut acrylic. His packaging is made in the same way from laser cut board and that’s awesome too. Check it out at: www.urbantwist.co.uk.

The shop is built on the Wordpress platform and is fully commerce enabled and integrated with the WorldPay payment system.

We worked closely with Cameron, building the website to his design and specification and we wish him all the best with his business.

Corporate Flash Game

We’re currently in production with a corporate flash game for an upcoming expo.

Keith is knee deep in code and Willie is more animated than normal.

More news soon…

Up, Up and Away

We are delighted to be working with Lothian Helicopters on their new web site and imagery.

Keith, Willie and Colin were lucky enough to have a wee quick flight last week down at Oxenford Castle where we met Capt. Iain Grindlay.

Keep an eye for announcement of the new site & video.
