About Orbis Meridian
About Orbis Meridian
Orbis Meridian is an independent UK business building products across four areas: Orbis & Ink, Orbis Games Labs, Orbis Applications and Orbis Football.
Our approach
The work is varied, but the approach is consistent: start with a real reason for a product to exist, build it carefully, be clear about what it does, and avoid treating the user’s time or attention as something to exploit.
Some Orbis Meridian products are practical. Some are playful. Some are built around learning, history or collecting. They do not need to look the same, but they should feel as though they came from the same set of values.
Our mission
We build thoughtful products across learning, games, useful software and sport. Our aim is simple: make things that are genuinely worth using, playing, exploring or keeping — and fund them in ways that respect the people choosing to spend time with them.
How we work
- Quality before extraction
- A product should first be worth someone’s time. Revenue matters, but it should not become the design brief.
- Fair monetisation
- Paid upgrades, purchases or advertising should be understandable and proportionate rather than built around frustration.
- Respect for attention
- We avoid unnecessary interruptions, manipulative urgency and engagement mechanics that exist mainly to keep people clicking.
- Accuracy where it matters
- When a product deals with learning, history, evidence or factual claims, research and source quality form part of the product itself.

Orbis Meridian is the parent brand. Each division is part of Orbis Meridian and shares the same values, support and legal framework.
