Our team

Passion is important to us. We only work with people that are passionate enough to help us make the internet a friendlier place.

We're careful about who we work with, choosey in fact, and we've built a team that design elegant, user-centred, intuitive and solid online solutions on time, and to budget. We've also got a strong network of trusted collaborators that we bring in as and when their specialist skills are required.

Frank Staiger is Managing Director and founder of Via Studios. He has over twelve years experience in online design, development and digital management with a growing and exciting client portfolio including both private and public sectors. He has worked with many art directors, studios, developers and clients during his career.

Via Studios is the engine room driving his unstoppable passion for the internet and the digital sector. What's more, the experience he brings to projects mediates between excitement for new channels and a sound business sense of what will work to deliver on the bottom line.

Before founding the company back in 1998, German-born Frank was working freelance for many years in the media industry, including production and team management for large magazine publications.

The Coffee Machine (our beloved Jura F70) is an integral part of the team. Whilst it needs a lot of love, care and attention, the favour is returned as it powers the Via Studios team with a hearty flow of coffee throughout the working week.
