Jono

Founder

Founder at Roboto Studio, serial design system complainer, and pretends to skateboard from time to time. Ask me about Sanity once, and I'll talk your ear off.

I started Roboto Studio as the antithesis to overpriced, bloated agencies that I may or may not have worked for at one point. I founded it at around the same as headless websites were becoming a thing.

We've always had the same goal - make the best editorial experience on the internet. Whether that's making changes to your headlines, or granular edits to your navigations and footers. We want to dump the idea of a bi-yearly refresh of the site, and we think the key to this is well thought-out structured data that scales and expands and adapts as your business grows. Hell, we've been using the same CMS for 5+ years and haven't ever had to rebuild, why should you.

Here's what we are awesome at:

  • Editorial experiences & live previews
  • Headless content management systems
  • Scalable design/dev systems with A11y accessibility
  • Near perfect lighthouse scores
  • Understanding technical requirements

If you're trying to do any of that ☝️ we're the ones to get in touch with. Hell we'll even throw this super secret calendar invite because you've actually taken the time to read this. It gives you more of a window in a day because we appreciate you
