Once upon a time in a land far far away there lived a young
man who wanted to help those less fortunate with their websites. He saw
the great injustices in web design that were being done to well meaning
but misguided small business owners. They believed the lies that they could
not afford a great website and had to settle for a template and a clumsy
content management system from the same company that sold them their domain.
This young hero set out to right these wrongs and break down the walls
that trapped these hard working men and women. With strength of design
and an intellect to program the most complex of systems, the ruggedly
handsome champion of websites set out on
a quest that has brought him great joy and satisfaction.
With each proprietor he
sets
free from their
chains of animated gif "at" signs, text that follows their
cursor
and colors that were separated on the rainbow for good reason,
he gains the wisdom and strength to continue on to the next
unfortunate site. His desire to open the eyes of design to the beauty
of navigation and structure gives him cause to press forward
so that one day he
will rid the world of ugly websites. It can - no it must
be done.
This is what you get when you work on your about us page at 2:00am. Really
though, the jestus company was started in 2001 by Tom Jestus to meet the
need of small business owners wanting to build their online presence. Tom's background
in print design and fine art is what drives his designs. He puts as much
emphasis on the look of the site as he does the usability of the site (for
the site owner and their customers).
In 2009 the jestus company teamed up with Aristotle
Development to expand
our services.
Tom is
married to Amy, his wonderful wife of 11 years, and has
four great kids, Moriah, Tommy III, Cyrus and Sophia. When not creating websites,
Tom
likes to get out with his family. He is involved in his church and
the local political
scene, promoting liberty to anyone who will listen. He enjoys home
improvement
projects and has been known to occasionally sketch a picture or two.
