After opening our doors only four short months ago we have re-designed our website here at Jestro to reflect all the exciting changes our business has gone through during that time.

This new website is more dynamic, we will keep it updated with our latest work, which you will always be able to find in the portfolio. We will also be posting regular entries here on this WordPress powered blog. These entries will discuss a variety of topics including:

• Marketing articles.
• Web design, graphic design, and Wordpress tutorials.

If you want to subscribe to the web feed for these entries you will find a link to the RSS format of our feed in the main menu to the right. If you would like to receive an email every time a new entry is posted please follow the “Email Subscription” link in the sidebar and you will be added to our email list.
