Press release: Studio 24 to work with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) on their website redesign

Dear friends of W3C,

Studio 24 and the Web Consortium are proud to announce a contract to redesign w3.org to more effectively communicate what the organisation does with a modern, inclusive, usable website.

Studio 24 have always believed in building a better web, using standards to make sure the sites they build are accessible to all regardless of who you are, what internet access you have, what device you’re using, or any disability you may have.

Coralie Mercier, Head of W3C Marketing & Communications said: "I am delighted to partner with Studio 24 as we embark on this project. We haven’t done a website redesign in a very long time. In fact, in the 21 years I’ve been with the W3C, I remember only 3 different designs, the current one being from a decade ago. Redesigning our website is crucial to improve the overall experience of those who depends on us for our Web standards work. As W3C makes the Web work for everyone, Studio 24 will help make our website work better for everyone."

Thank you.

   all regardless of who you are, what internet access you have,
   what device you’re using, or any disability you may have. Their
   own Accessibility Lead Developer will help move this forward.
   In this regard Studio 24’s beliefs are perfectly aligned to
   W3C’s mission in making a ‘Web for All’. One of W3C's primary
   goals is to make these benefits available to all people,
   whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure,
   native language, culture, geographical location, or physical or
   mental ability.

   Simon Jones, Managing Director, Studio 24 said: "The team are
   really looking forward to getting started with this project. In
   the 20-year history of Studio 24, it feels as if we’ve been
   leading up to a project like this. Our company mission to bring
   together human-centred design and open source technology is
   ideally fitted to a client such as W3C."

About the World Wide Web Consortium

   The mission of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is to lead
   the Web to its full potential by creating technical standards
   and guidelines to ensure that the Web remains open, accessible,
   and interoperable for everyone around the globe. W3C well-known
   standards HTML and CSS are the foundational technologies upon
   which websites are built. W3C works on ensuring that all
   foundational Web technologies meet the needs of civil society,
   in areas such as accessibility, internationalization, security,
   and privacy. W3C also provides the standards that undergird the
   infrastructure for modern businesses leveraging the Web, in
   areas such as entertainment, communications, digital
   publishing, and financial services. That work is created in the
   open, provided for free and under the groundbreaking W3C Patent
   Policy. For its work to make online videos more accessible with
   captions and subtitles, W3C received a 2016 Emmy Award. And for
   its work to standardize a Full TV Experience on the Web, W3C
   received a 2019 Emmy Award.

   W3C's vision for "One Web" brings together thousands of
   dedicated technologists representing more than 400 [7]Member
   organizations and dozens of industry sectors. W3C is jointly
   hosted by the [8]MIT Computer Science and Artificial
   Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) in the United States, the
   [9]European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics
   (ERCIM) headquartered in France, [10]Keio University in Japan
   and [11]Beihang University in China. For more information see
