Studio 24 was founded in 1999 by Simon Jones. Websites today are very different from websites in the late 90s.
Although the technology has changed, the principles Simon started out with 25 years ago remain the same i.e. that the web should be accessible to everyone.
The highlights
2003 was a year of firsts for Studio 24: first office (in Hope Street Yard), first employee, and first intern via the Erasmus scheme.
In 2008, the studio expanded to a team of 15, they were working on more complex projects, and had moved to a bigger office at St. Stephen's Place.
2008 also saw the start of Studio 24’s public sector journey when they won the contract to build Crossrail’s website. They continued to work with Crossrail as their digital partner until the Elizabeth Line opened in 2022.
The studio’s values around accessibility helped them to win more public sector contracts with UK Parliament, Crown Commercial Service, HS2, and the Department of Health and Social Care.
In 2019 Simon and the team tendered for and won one of the largest projects in their history, redesigning the website for W3C. W3C is the industry web standards body founded by the inventor of the web, Tim Berners-Lee. The partnership with W3C continues to this day.
“While the landscape of the internet and the web has changed since I started Studio 24, the importance of accessibility and building websites using established web standards has never gone away. I have a wonderful team of supportive, talented individuals doing their best work for our clients.” Simon Jones, Founder and Managing Director.
25 years ago, Simon founded an agency that believed in building a web that is accessible to all. This vision is something Studio 24 will stay committed to for a long time to come.
