Who is This Jake Anyway?
Aside from our jaunty name, we are known for our innovative, integrated approach to digital marketing. We are a group of strategists, artists and engineers working together to deliver creative solutions that build business.
Visit Our Studio
Our studio was previously located in the heart of Georgetown, just off the historic C&O Canal. Since being acquired by WHITE64, we have relocated to Tysons Corner, VA. Like our design aesthetic, we prefer modern interiors — clean, bright and functional. Large whiteboards for brainstorming, a dedicated conference area for client meetings and a state-of-the-art video production studio ensure that our team has enough creative space to come up with inspired ideas.

5. The Build-Out
With your materials in hand (sitemap, approved design composites, copy, etc.) your website begins to take shape. Jake’s programmers use HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP and other development tools to build the visual “front end” of the site, while the invisible “back end” or framework is developed, which powers databases, user authentications (logins), security and other elements.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. All Jake Group websites include a Content Management System (CMS) that allows you to edit, add, delete and publish content with almost no technical knowledge or web programming expertise. If you are proficient with a simple word-processor such as MS Word, you’ll find managing your site quick and easy.
What CMS do you typically use?
Jake’s expertise is WordPress, which is the world’s most widely used publishing platform in the world today. In fact, at last count in February 2014, it powered more than 74.6 million websites and 19% of the top 1 million visited sites in the world!
Isn’t WordPress just for blogs?
No. While WordPress originally began in 2003 as a blogging platform (ancient history in the web design world), it has since evolved into a full development platform that has limitless possibilities for functionality and design.
