Mango Media is a European web design agency dedicated to crafting extraordinary digital experiences. Founded by a visionary digital designer and creative coder with nearly a decade of industry expertise, Mango Media empowers businesses to rise above their competition through distinctive design. Our journey traces back to a small island named Köpstadsö in Sweden, where Mango Alexander initiated a website revolution. Today, with an international team of developers, we’ve expanded across Europe, leaving our mark in Amsterdam, Berlin, Nancy, Bristol, and London. Our team embraces seasoned developers who’ve collaborated with Mango for years, accompanied by a dedicated sales team that ensures seamless customer journeys. A skilled project manager elevates project execution and client relationships, while our design team infuses the process with their creative essence. And, of course, the majestic Saint Bernard - Bernadette, has been Mango’s loyal companion throughout this transformative adventure.
From concept to reality, each website we create embodies simplicity and reveres timeless design principles. Rooted in the wisdom of industry giants, we find an equilibrium between tradition and innovation. This synergy of old and new, function and beauty, fiction and reality, births captivating websites that inspire those who interact with them.
Our design philosophies shatter norms and redefine aesthetics. Influenced by Carl Jung’s psychological theories, Mango’s designs intertwine elements from both conscious and unconscious realms, resulting in interfaces that resonate deeply on an emotional plane. His innovative and sometimes unconventional approaches cast him in the role of a “mad scientist” of web design—constantly experimenting, iterating, and pushing boundaries. This dedication earned him the endearing moniker “Van Gogh of websites”, underscoring his unparalleled ability to convey profound emotions, unwavering persistence in his craft, and steadfast self-belief, even in the face of challenges and initial recognition gaps.

The world around me is my greatest source of inspiration. I am fortunate to have lived in various European cities, each imprinting its unique language and accent on my design style. Among these cities, Berlin's influence stands out profoundly. The blend of brutalism and maximalism, ingrained in the city's environment, has become integral to my design identity. The city's graffiti and urban posters, adorning its U Bahn (Metro) walls, fuel my creative energy.
Akin to Berlin, Amsterdam's design essence shares similarities while maintaining a distinctive stripped-back yet impactful aesthetic. French design exudes elegance, favoring luxury and cleanliness. During my tenure in London, I was at quite a commercial agency scene, I refined my skill in simplifying designs for corporate clients while preserving visual allure. Moreover, my years spent in Bristol immersed in the world-renowned graffiti scene have infused my design approach.

Mango, often hailed as everyone's favorite fruit, caught my attention during my research. Its universal appeal made me think about the parallels with successful brands like Apple. Just like Apple's knack for implying freshness, innovation, and sleek design, 'Mango' signifies the same attributes for our brand.
Much like a ripe mango is irresistibly delicious, our products aim to evoke the same delight and satisfaction. So, here's to a name that's more than a name – it's a promise of quality, freshness, and that extra dose of goodness.
The cost of a website can vary depending on several factors, making it a relative consideration. Key variables include the number of pages your website requires, the choice of content management system (CMS), and whether you're interested in incorporating specialised creative coding, animations, or videos.

UX, or User Experience, is a design practice that takes into account how individuals interact with products. Specifically in the context of websites, designers like myself emphasize that the user's experience holds greater significance than the mere visual appeal of the design. As the saying goes, "Great design is not about how something looks, it's about how it functions."
Hence, the visual aesthetics of a design are grounded in methodology and logic, achieved by identifying the archetypal users of the product. This involves crafting fictional characters that embody stereotypes aligning with user behavior, motivations, and interests. This process culminates in a deep comprehension of the actions these users are likely to undertake when navigating the website. The outcome is a meticulously planned user journey, incorporating well-defined objectives manifested as call-to-action elements.
I embody both roles of a designer and a developer. My journey began with a focus on development, as the market demanded, leading me to hybrid positions within agencies that seamlessly merged design and development. But as time went on, my true passion for design took over. This led me to senior designer roles within some of the most prominent European agencies.
My present focus revolves around visual design and creative coding. I bring a unique approach to coding, specialising in crafting engaging interactions and animations. Working closely with the experienced developers on my team, I offer a unique skill blend.
My journey spans from being a prolific fine artist and graffiti artist, selling paintings and adorning the streets of London, Paris, Bristol, Berlin, and Amsterdam. My academic background includes a BA in Graphic Communication, exploring conveying complex ideas visually, and a master's in Creative Technology, focusing on UX design and creative coding.
My work is acknowledged for pushing the boundaries of interactive design through concepts like maximalism and brutalism. In my designs, I fuse both conscious and unconscious elements, resulting in emotionally impactful interfaces. My unconventional and somewhat "mad scientist" approach ensures that my designs stand out and challenge the norms of traditional design. *Nothing will ever look like a template.
In essence, the distinction between UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) lies in their focuses. UX delves into the psychology of user interactions, encompassing what users click on, the information they engage with, and the creation of an intuitive user journey. It's about optimizing the overall experience.
On the other hand, UI pertains to the visual aesthetics and design aspects of the product. It involves considerations such as colour palettes, typography, visual layouts, and photography styles. UI shapes how the product looks and feels.
A balanced fusion of both practices is crucial in design. Many web designers possess a solid grasp of both UX and UI, while some opt to specialise in one area.
Approaching each project as a blank canvas, my ultimate objective is to uncover the distinct essence of the brand I'm collaborating with. This pivotal element becomes the bedrock upon which I construct a visionary conceptual design, blending method and logic to meticulously craft an exceptional and captivating user experience.
I believe that a successful design should not only visually delight but also seamlessly guide users through their journey. With every pixel and interaction thoughtfully orchestrated, I aim to create an immersive digital realm that resonates with your audience on an emotional level.
By combining the soul of your brand with the finesse of design, my aspiration is to not just create a website, but to fashion an interactive masterpiece that leaves a lasting impression.
My music is primarily experienced through live performances. The essence of my music revolves around the audience's perception of what I create. This alignment with the audience's experience parallels my approach to design, where the user or audience is at the heart of every creation.
