Sparklejet websites make users feel good about the site as well as the people and brand behind it. Sparklejet websites satisfy both the clients who pay for them, and the web surfers who use them.

Customer testimonials

“Our website is a joy, and having you handle it so smoothly has taken years off my life.” [I’m not sure that’s a good thing, but oh well. — M.J.]
Bobbi Mapstone, The Gamble House

“Our website is designed and maintained by Matt Jalbert. We enthusiastically recommend his work.”
— Tim Holton, Holton Studio Framemakers

“It has been a real pleasure to work with Matt Jalbert and Sparklejet. Since we began our relationship in 1998, Matt has consistently produced on-time and on-budget site work. Matt understands my needs and has unfailingly provided an attractive and well conceived site design. My customers often compliment the beauty and ease of use of my site, which has become my principal advertising venue. Professional in all regards, Matt has always promptly returned phone calls. I heartily recommend him to anyone needing quality web site design with great customer service.”
— Lee Jester, The Craftsman Home

Remember: if your Web site is ugly, hard to navigate, and badly written, it doesn't matter if your CSS and HTML are perfect. A web site is about feel for the user more than it’s about precision for search engines and technical obsessives.

 

Sparklejet is a pro-business shop

All software used at Sparklejet was legally acquired, either purchased from retailers or directly from independent software developers. Without the talent and dedication of hundreds of software developers, I wouldn’t be able to build the web like I do.

My gratitude goes to the hardworking people at these companies:
