We've been here since the early days.
Simon started building websites in 1996 and established Webstudio in 2004. Today, we help businesses across Australia make better use of web technologies.
It started at 9.6K.
Simon coded his first website from scratch, hosted it on CompuServe and uploaded it through a 9.6K modem. It was slow. The possibilities were not.
The long view.
Webstudio opened in 2004 as websites were becoming part of everyday business. Since then, we have guided clients through search, mobile, ecommerce, cloud software, automation and AI. Trends come and go. One useful question has stayed the same. Will this make the business better?
Why the mix matters.
A website question can uncover a positioning problem. A slow process may need better decisions before it needs software. We bring business, finance, web, analysis and development together so the recommendation works commercially as well as technically.
