Jackson Sky Creative was founded in 2008. Since then, we’ve worked with more than 100 organizations to create websites, brands and other creative solutions that help them communicate more effectively.
Jackson Sky is based in Carmel, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis. We work with clients throughout Indiana and across the country.
Jackson Sky specializes in custom website design and development, with additional expertise in branding, graphic design and illustration. We create websites that are visually engaging, easy to navigate and built around the specific needs of each organization and its audiences.
Every project is a little different, but our website projects typically begin with strategy and planning, followed by sitemap development, custom design, development, content implementation, testing and launch. We work collaboratively with our clients throughout the process, with opportunities for review and feedback at each major stage.
Most website projects take approximately three to six months from kickoff to launch. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the website, required features, content readiness and the client’s review and approval process. We establish a detailed project schedule at the beginning of each project so everyone knows what to expect.
Website costs vary depending on the size, complexity and functionality of the project. Because our websites are custom designed and developed, we provide a detailed proposal based on the specific needs of each client rather than offering one size fits all packages.
Jackson Sky works with a wide range of clients, including educational institutions, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, professional service firms and startups. Our clients have included Purdue University, Indiana University, Perry Township Schools, Fort Wayne City Utilities, Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program, Eagle Creek Park Foundation, CohenMalad Trial Lawyers, Great Fermentations, Northside Mental Health, EmployIndy, Patachou, Inc., Dr. Tavel Optical Group and many other businesses and organizations throughout Indiana and across the country.
We incorporate foundational search engine optimization best practices into the websites we build, including thoughtful site structure, page titles, metadata and other technical considerations. However, we do not provide ongoing SEO campaigns or social media management services. When clients need specialized services outside our areas of expertise, we are happy to recommend trusted partners.
No. Our websites are custom designed specifically for each client. We don’t start with a purchased website template and try to make your organization fit within it. Instead, the design, structure and functionality are developed around your brand, content, audiences and goals.
No. All of our website design, development and graphic design work is completed by the Jackson Sky team. If a project requires a service or specialty we don’t provide, we have a network of trusted local partners we can recommend. This allows us to stay focused on what we do best while helping our clients find experienced professionals for other needs.
We specialize in WordPress and develop custom WordPress websites that give our clients flexibility and control over their content. Our goal is to create a website that is easy for your team to maintain without sacrificing custom design or functionality.
WordPress is the most widely used content management system in the world, powering more than 40% of all websites. Its flexibility, ease of use and library of more than 60,000 plugins make it possible to create highly customized websites with a wide range of features and functionality. Because WordPress is open source and widely supported, clients are not locked into a proprietary platform or a single website provider.
Yes. We build websites with ongoing content management in mind. Your team will be able to update common website content without needing to contact us every time a change is needed. We also provide training and customized instructions so you know how to manage your new site.
Yes. We offer ongoing website support on an as needed basis as well as annual support packages that include regular WordPress and plugin updates, website reviews and support hours.
Jackson Sky combines the personal attention of a small creative studio with the experience and capabilities needed for complex website projects. You work directly with the people designing and developing your website, and our small team stays involved from initial planning through launch and ongoing support.
We don’t disappear after launch. We provide training and documentation to help your team manage the website and offer ongoing hosting, maintenance and support options. As your organization and website evolve, we can continue to help with updates, improvements and new functionality.
