About Stonewash
Stonewash says: “The founders of Stonewash Ltd began developing the first version of the Stonewash Magazine Framework in 2008. As professional magazine publishers, they knew smartphones would need a user-friendly magazine experience; and understood that just showing a basic, static page wasn't enough.
Fast forward 4 years and Stonewash are at the forefront of developing magazine apps for smartphones and tablets, with clients including The Art Newspaper, Lusso, the Taunton stable of magazines and the International Bar Association.
Stonewash provide apps that give a great off-the-shelf experience for readers, and come with a superb suite of browser-based production tools where the publishers can upload content, coupled with functionality geared to capturing the reader data advertisers, editors and publishers need.”
