About studioJMC

Our Commitment

Unlike ad agencies and other firms that design web sites as a sideline, web site development is the full-time focus of our business. Part of our mission is to educate our clients and the public about the possibilities and challenges the Internet presents for individuals, organizations and society. This is part of a larger commitment by owner James Cook to serve as an evangelist for online excellence, a commitment that is evident in his writings, his participation in seminars and his teaching at the Computer Aided Imaging Lab at St. Louis Community College.

Our Philosophy

Most web site proposals focus on the visual and programming elements of the process. But, in reality, award winning designs and bells and whistles mean little if they do not provide clients with tools to more effectively pursue their mission.

To make that possible, studioJMC strives to serve as an educational resource for clients as they make important decision about their web presence. (see development process...)

From the first meeting, our goal is to understand the vision, services, needs and wishes of the client. Informed by that knowledge, we include a preliminary site outline in each of our proposals. This assures that we and the client are on the same page and also begins the process of educating the client about our capabilities and the practical realities of developing, maintaining and using a web site.

We nurture the educational process – ours and the client's – throughout the project to insure that decisions are based upon the needs of the client and a realistic appreciation of what is – and is not – possible and effective on the web.

The result for each client is a unique and functional web site that communicates their message and culture in a crisp and clear manner while incorporating advance technologies in a way that is both user- and client-friendly.

So, while our sites have won their share of awards, we measure our success in terms of client successes and satisfaction. Satisfaction that is demonstrated by our continuing relationships with clients such as the Archdiocese of St. Louis and the St. Louis Sports Commission. And by their continuing recommendation of our services to others.
