Studio 24 handbook

Who we are

Studio 24 is a digital design, technology and marketing agency.

We started as a web design shop around the turn of the millennium, building websites using web standards and PHP.

Today, we offer a wide range of digital services, but our core focus is on:

Designing digital products that work for real people

We also discuss our values, goals and how we run Studio 24 with the entire team in our regular Studio Days which we run a twice a year (around May/June and Nov/Dec). I encourage everyone to have a say and input into what we do and how we do it.

I want Studio 24 to be an interesting and stimulating place to work, where we learn from our peers, do great work, and develop ourselves and the business.

Simon R Jones, Founder & Managing Director
