Where
art meets technology.
Most businesses hire a design shop and a dev shop, then spend months getting them to agree. We do both, so the brand and the system behind it never drift apart.
The part that has to work on a Tuesday.
Custom platforms with real data and payments, plus wired into how you run.
Three things we build.

Brand

How we work
Senior-led, end to end. Drew scopes and builds every project, with vetted production partners when a job needs more hands.
We build, we don’t configure.
Nobody assembles an encrypted credential vault, safe payment webhooks and database-enforced client separation out of plugins. We author the system. We don’t rent it.
We run what we sell.
Every capability we’d build for you is already running in production for us, and we live with the consequences. Our failures don’t get passed down to our clients. Our learnings do.
Experience.
Shipping since 2015, with 150+ launches across every industry we’ve been invited into and clients still here from year one.
Creativity.
Design, copy and media that sound like you and feel like a premium brand.
Collaboration.
We work like an extension of your team, not a vendor. One point of contact, clear milestones and a shared board from kickoff to launch.
Results.
Every engagement is judged on what moved: traffic, conversion, time to launch. Not what got checked off. If it doesn’t ship, it doesn’t count.
Questions,
answered.
Something else on your mind? hello@jmediagroup.net
What does J Media Group do?
J Media Group is a design and build studio in the Washington, DC area. We build websites, custom platforms, AI intelligence engines and brand systems. We also work as the white-label build team for agencies and consultancies.
Where is J Media Group located?
J Media Group is based in the Washington, DC area and serves clients in DC, Maryland and Virginia. We also work with clients across the United States, and most projects run fully remote.
Who will I actually work with?
You work with Drew Jenkinson, who founded J Media Group in 2015 and scopes and builds every project. There’s no account manager in between. Vetted production partners join when a project needs more hands.
How much does a website or platform cost?
Every project is scoped individually. The free Project Estimator gives you a ballpark range in about a minute, and we follow up with an itemized scope within one business day.
How long does a project take?
A standard build runs about two months. Rush timelines of about three weeks are possible when the date demands it. We’ll confirm the timeline in your scope.
Do you use templates or plugins?
No. J Media Group builds custom on Next.js, Supabase or WordPress, depending on the job. We author the system so you own something that fits your business, not a theme with add-ons.
Do you work with agencies on a white-label basis?
Yes. J Media Group is the white-label build team for agencies and consultancies. We build websites, platforms and brand systems under the agency’s name or ours. To apply, book a 20-minute call from the Partners page.
What happens after launch?
Every launch has a 30-day warranty. After that, ongoing care covers hosting, monitoring, backups, maintenance and priority response. Existing clients manage it all in the JMG Hub.
Are the free tools really free?
Yes. The Project Estimator, AI-readiness assessment and website audit cost nothing. If you share your email, we’ll send your results and a few useful follow-ups. Unsubscribe anytime.
