Do you imagine that the engineers designing brakes, motors, air bags, and suspensions are the same people sculpting the car’s exterior? Thankfully, no. Engineering and aesthetics are separate teams working together to produce one superior product.

Likewise, web design and web programming are two different disciplines.

Rocket Jones works closely with our design partners to craft you a beautiful machine that both sings and screams. We are the computer geeks; they are the design geeks. We love code; they love typography, colors, and something they call “white space.”

Our design partners like having us around because they would rather design than get bogged down figuring out how to create database structures, nested arrays, SQL queries, and other geeky chores – and we get sick pleasure out of doing those things!

If you wonder whether this arrangement really works, check out our portfolio. Then jump to our partners’ websites and look at their gorgeous stuff. If you already have a designer you trust, bring ‘em along. Even if your designer has little web experience, we can help them tailor their expertise for your web project.

We admit that the consequences of do-it-yourself graphic design are less severe than the consequences of, say, do-it-yourself surgery or structural engineering – but bad design can still mean suicide: business suicide.

A design pro not only knows how to make your stuff look good, but how to make your stuff work. People looking at your website will come to believe that your organization offers something valuable.

One more thing – being a good designer takes more than owning the right software. Be glad that they don’t let people perform surgery just because they own knives!
