Our Mission
Our mission is to make sure that a website meets the client's business goals and that it's performant and maintained.
Our Story
John and Serenity Russell started out together with a small business in Northern California in 2004 that mostly installed and maintained Call Center Systems; John was the developer and installer, and Serenity was the accountant. In John's off time from that he worked side jobs of developing and maintaining websites in (Classic) ASP.
When they moved to Idaho they decided to continue their company with Serenity being a silent partner and working full time in finance and accounting. John continued to be a developer working more in WordPress and with PHP, as well as freelancing with Google as a Quality Rater. As web development continued to evolve he found a need to incorporate web marketing and SEO to ensure he was providing the best web development. Serenity continued to work in her field and on the side took graphic and front end development classes as a hobby to work on personal projects.
Then in the Spring of 2013 we found a need for Serenity to take on more of an active role in the company and help alleviate some of the workload for John so that he could continue to work on back end development and pass on the front end to someone else. One year later in the Spring of 2014 Serenity stopped working in the private sector as an accountant and went full time into being a designer and front end developer.
With this change we formed a new company name that fit us better as J (John) S (Serenity) Web Solutions. Today we continue to collaborate and work on projects; splitting the responsibilities of the workload, each working in their own offices inside their home in Idaho. John continues to be the main face and representative of the company, while Serenity prefers to work quietly in the background. As a husband and wife team the love to bring each of their unique perspective to a project and both enjoy the research and analysis that comes from the job.
