So what are you guys all about?

At the core, Jaskot Media creates websites, web applications and email marketing campaigns. More specifically, we use the web as a tool for helping you realize your goals. Want to increase the revenue of your online store, drive more traffic to your site or just give your website a facelift? No problem. Has your method of managing your business become repetitive and inaccurate? We can create a web application to correct that. Maybe you're looking to send more effective emails to your audience and want to track the results of those campaigns. Yep, we can do that too. By identifying your goals, we'll make sure that your project does exactly what you want it to and nothing else.


To make sure you're happy with our work, we use a tried and true method. Through this method, we explore the things you're looking to accomplish, design your project based on this exploration and give your project life by developing what we've designed. To make sure that everything is up to par, we thoroughly test our work before finally launching it. Curious about how it works? Read on.

  1. Explore

    Before we create any mock-ups or write a single line of code, we focus on learning what you are trying to accomplish with your web presence. We strongly believe that all elements of a website, web application or email marketing campaign should have a purpose. In this stage of the process, our goal is to explore exactly what that purpose is.

  2. Design

    After understanding your goals, we start designing your project. We'll kick-off this stage by holding a design meeting. During this meeting, we'll lock ourselves in a room and hash out all the details of your project. To wrap things up, we'll take all the bits of information we gathered during the design meeting and present you with Photoshop mock-ups of your site, web application or email templates. We'll also supplement these materials with any necessary workflow diagrams and documentation.

  3. Develop

    When the Design Stage is over, it's time for us to roll up our sleeves and turn your vision into a reality. We take an iterative approach to development and will have something for you to look at only a few days after breaking ground on your project. At regular intervals, we'll have you take a look at the progress we've made and provide us with your feedback. Did you change your mind about something? No problem. Since we afford for customers to provide feedback on their projects as their being developed, we can make adjustments as we go. At the end of this stage, we'll have a working website, web application or email marketing campaign. Hold tight, we're almost done!

  4. Test

    Since we keep you actively involved during development, a lot of our testing is done informally before getting to this stage. That's good and saves us a ton of time, but there is usually still a need for some formal testing. That's why we employ good old fashioned testing techniques. We'll create a thorough test plan and systematically run through it to make sure that every nook and cranny of your project is working as intended. Everything looks good? Great! We're ready to launch.

  5. Launch

    Now that we're confident everything is in tip top shape and working as you would like it to, we're ready to show the world what we've done. During this stage, we'll execute any steps necessary to make that possible. Did you find something that you don't quite like afterward? No sweat. We support all of our customers even after we've launched.
