Our Story

The foundation of what would eventually become Studio!Kah was laid in 2011 in a small dorm room in New York City. There, Software Engineer and Educator Alvaro Montoro began developing Kah!me, a URL shortener that marked the beginning of it all.

After relocating to Austin, Texas, our focus shifted to creating educational web applications tailored for ESL and high school Spanish teachers. Built with HTML5 and JavaScript, these apps were designed to be easily editable and functional even in offline environments, making them versatile tools for educators.

Expanding our reach, we ventured into mobile and tablet applications, developing for a wide range of platforms—including iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Amazon Fire, and webOS. True to our mission, these apps maintained the distinctive "educational twist" that has come to define much of our work.

In 2017, we achieved a major milestone with the launch of Textivities, an e-learning platform for language teachers and students. This platform brought together many of the text-based activities we had developed over the years for high school educators. Textivities stands as one of Studio!Kah's largest and most ambitious custom projects to date.

Our Vision

Our mission is rooted in accessibility and adherence to web standards, aswe believe that the knowledge and opportunities offered by the Internet should be accessible to everyone.

To uphold this commitment, we rigorously test our pages to ensure they comply with valid HTML5 standards and deliver a consistent experience across all major browsers and platforms. Using tools like theW3C HTML Validator, we verify the integrity of our code andencourage users to notify us of any errors or warnings they may encounter.

We also leverage accessibility tools such as screen readers, color contrast analyzers, andWebAIM's WAVE tool to identify and address potential barriers. By meticulously addressing these issues, we aspire to make all of our websites and applications accessible. The result? Zero accessibility errors or alerts in HTML, and an inclusive experience for all users.
