Cold Banana was founded in 2015 by Luke Fribbens in Bournemouth and now also operates from Dubai Digital Park in the UAE. The agency builds digital solutions on .NET technologies for clients across eCommerce, finance, sport, government, tourism and hospitality, working with organisations of varying sizes rather than a single sector or company profile.
Work spans frontend and backend development, headless CMS builds, API and systems integration, application development and UX research. Content management projects run on Umbraco, Sitecore, Optimizely and Kentico, reflected in partner status across each: Umbraco Gold Partner, Sitecore Silver Solutions Partner, Optimizely Bronze Solutions Partner and Kentico Solutions Partner. This range lets the team match a CMS to a client's existing stack rather than steering every project toward one platform, and the .NET foundation carries through into custom software and web and mobile platform builds.
The agency holds Cyber Essentials certification and is RAR Rated, and websites it has developed have received Umbraco Awards and business awards. Based at Banana House on Poole Road in Westbourne, Bournemouth, with a second office in Dubai Silicon Oasis, Cold Banana serves clients across both the UK and UAE markets from these two locations.
