Digital Marmalade is a full-service digital design agency that has been designing and developing award-winning websites and applications since 1997.

With offices in London and Cyprus, we specialise in delivering complex digital solutions, particularly in the areas of web and mobile app development, UX/UI design, and software engineering. As a long-established digital design agency, we have a strong track record of delivering successful projects for high-profile clients including NTT, the NHS, and The Telegraph.

Spanning industries such as media, travel, leisure and education, including business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C) our client-centred approach delivers powerful applications.

Whether you are a small or large company, it's our mission to help demystify the digital world for you, helping you to define a path to success, to drive growth and to deliver the experience your customers demand. We don't hide behind technical jargon; we're a straight-talking digital design agency who puts our clients first.

Our approach

Every project starts with understanding - your goals, your users, and the challenges you're facing. From that foundation, we define the most effective technical approach, whether it's a bespoke web build, a complex integration, or a long-term digital solution.

We work iteratively, keeping you involved from start to finish. Our team brings together UX thinking, visual design, and reliable development practices to create tools that are both technically strong and intuitive to use. It's a practical, collaborative approach that supports real digital transformation, not just for your platform, but for the way your business works.

You're called what!? But...why!?

People ask where the name Digital Marmalade came from. Let me explain:

It was at a science conference in the 1940's, attended by the world's finest minds, where Albert Einstein alluded to the great progress the scientific world was making. Here, Einstein praised their respective technological advances in the fields of Mathematics and Physics, as the great mixture of science and technology by which the world, as they knew it, was being nurtured. He referred to this mixture as “the digital marmalade we make to keep the world turning”.

Well, actually that's not true! There's no fancy story or clever spin on the name, it just popped up one day and we loved it.

We have worked closely with Digital Marmalade at every stage of our development cycle and are proud of the improvements to our digital puzzle offerings we've accomplished with them. We've been able to acquire and engage new audiences and could not have done this without Digital Marmalade and the Sticky Puzzles platform.

Cyrus Engineer Product Manager, Puzzles, The Telegraph

Over the last two years, Digital Marmalade have become an integral part of the my_HealthE clinical research team. They are professional, responsive and creative. They have gone the extra mile to meet tight budgets, complex NHS operational environments and last minute requests prior to roll out. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and they are a pleasure to work with.

Dr. Johnny Downs NIHR Clinician Scientist, Kings College London

Digital Marmalade was a trusted online design partner for the Monarch Travel Group. Over the many years we worked with them they consistently delivered high quality work to the demanding deadlines required by the Airline and Online Travel markets. They are always ready for a new challenge and added considerable value to both our online design and usability.

Ian Chambers Head of Retail and Online, Monarch Airline

The news publishing industry requires work to progress at breakneck speeds, and our flagship puzzle products cater for some of our fiercest readers - there's no room for error. Over the past 2 years the platform has developed into a highly sophisticated solution thanks to Digital Marmalade's excellent communication, solid working practices and diligent, highly skilled design and dev teams.

Lee Cross Product Manager, Puzzles, News UK

Digital Marmalade have created an immersive, interactive learning experience which strikes a great balance between being challenging and fun. It's a great example of an iDEA Bronze badge and has impressed young people and teachers alike.

Kerensa Jennings Director, iDEA

The team at Digital Marmalade have consistently provided us cutting edge features for our website, not only that but the site always stands out as beautifully designed and visually easy on the eye. It's rare to find a company that can design well and build the feature set you require. With simple to use Content Management System our marketing team can quickly and easily make the amendments we require. That's why we keep coming back to them, time and time again.

Toby Dicker Co-Founder, The Chapel

Among the reasons we chose to partner with Digital Marmalade were their experience and expertise in digital puzzles coupled with the fact the Sticky Puzzles platform was well established. This significantly reduced our development and delivery timelines, enabling us to achieve a fast go-to-market strategy.

Jo Coughlin General Manager, New Development, The Telegraph

I have been using Digital Marmalade for the last five years for the development of our consulting analysis platform, and they have been a joy to work with. They interpret our requirements easily and accurately and carry out the application development very effectively with a high level of quality and functionality.

Jason Harris VP, Security Strategy
