Our design process is aimed at developing bespoke software that is effective and doesn't require upfront knowledge of its specific users. We integrate software engineering, interaction design and functionality.

Our engineers work with Open Source tools such as Python, Django, Linux, Redis and MySQL for backends and SASS for front-end development. We believe that these tools help us achieve the best possible result for our clients.

Mobile Vikings is not your everyday company. As part of VikingCo, which also markets CityLife (check the CityLife App!), our core business is telecoms. But that might just be a cover-up for our alternative development initiatives, hence our embracing Django and Python. We like to do things our own way (Mobile Vikings have been called stubborn), so we developed our own cms’s and to this day keep upgrading our free mobile app (the awesome Viking App). But we’re open-minded too: sharing knowledge is our belief. Maybe you’re already familiar with some of our open source repositories (django datatrans, django advanced reports or django states)? VikingCo always seeks the win-win in partnerships. Just ask Ingenico, Connective, bhaalu or Sparkcentral. Then, in Makerland 2014, we went ballistic. To such an extent even that we organised our own hackathon in September. Just goes to show...

In a team of 10 web developers, we create sophisticated, beautiful, well functioning web apps and (mobile) websites. We like to work with Open Source software, because we believe in sharing knowledge and we never want to stop innovating. We love Django because we think it’s the best thing yet. We’re excited about new techniques and the fast pace that Django gives us while developing the next big thing. We’re quite the perfectionists, so we don’t design, we don’t sell and we don’t play bullshit-bingo. It’s al about the code, period :)

Oh, and we always welcome talent, so if you can relate, let us know!
