Your website should win you business while you sleep. Your team shouldn't be retyping data between five tools. And AI should save you hours, not create a new mess. JA Design Solutions is a small senior team led by principal Jean Alexandre, with 15 years of enterprise rigor, working directly with the businesses and nonprofits that big agencies overcharge and DIY tools outgrow.
// These are outcomes from 15 years inside OpenText, Micro Focus, HPE, and InMusic, not JADS client engagements. Named client case studies are in progress.
Most of our clients aren't looking for a redesign. They're looking for one less thing to lose sleep over. If any of these hit close, you're exactly who we build for.
Your site loads slow, looks broken on a phone, and you can't change a single word without emailing a developer and waiting a week.
Someone on your team spends hours a week copying the same data between a spreadsheet, your site, and three other tools that don't talk.
Everyone's telling you to "use AI." Nobody's told you where it actually helps your business, or where it'll quietly embarrass you.
You've outgrown Wix and Squarespace, but the "real" agencies quoted a number with a comma in a place that made you laugh.
Half the people you serve speak Portuguese, Spanish, or Haitian Creole. Your site only speaks English.
You've been waiting until you know exactly what you want before calling anyone. That wait is the most expensive part.
Start where the pain is. Each of these stands alone, and each one is designed so you actually own what we build together, long after we're done.
Not a pretty brochure. A web system, built from reusable, modular parts so adding a page never means rebuilding from scratch. Fast, mobile-first, findable, and editable by you.
No hype, no fear. An honest map of where AI saves you real hours, where it creates risk, and how to build workflows with the right human in the loop. Then we set it up and hand you the keys.
Hands-on sessions for owners, nonprofit teams, and community members with zero prior experience. You leave knowing how to do something specific and useful, not with a headache about the future.
Multilingual sites done right: WPML setup, real translation workflows, and QA that scales without chaos.
Kill the copy-paste. Spreadsheet-to-web pipelines, data collection, and systems that finally talk to each other.
GA4 done properly, technical SEO audits, and conversion optimization that turns traffic into leads.
The guides, SOPs, and specs that make everything else stick, so knowledge doesn't walk out the door.
Anyone can build what you ask for. The value is in someone who looks at the whole picture and tells you what you actually need, in what order, and what not to spend a dime on.
Squarespace and Wix are built for speed, not scale. They break the moment you need custom functionality, real inventory, or a second language. We build the thing you won't have to replace next year.
No account manager, no handoff chain, no junior team learning on your budget. You work directly with a small senior team: enterprise experience, without the enterprise markup.
A generalist builds exactly what you spec, even when the spec is wrong. We bring strategy: the difference between someone who follows the blueprint and someone who can draw a better one.
A slow, broken, or invisible site isn't free. It just bills you as lost leads and wasted hours instead of an invoice. Our audit exists to make that hidden number visible.
I've been the designer handed a bad brief, the developer who inherited an undocumented mess, and the manager translating technical chaos into plain English. You're hiring someone who has stood in every seat, and knows what it costs to get it wrong.
I spent 15 years running global web systems, localization pipelines, and analytics inside enterprise companies. JADS brings that same rigor to the businesses that deserve it but were never a big agency's priority.
As principal I lead every engagement, and you work with a small senior bench rather than a junior team. When a project calls for more hands, they are specialists I have worked with before. Nobody hands you off.
I won't sell you a redesign you don't need, and I'll tell you when the smaller engagement is the right one. Every project ends with you understanding what was built and able to run it yourself. For us, investing in this community isn't separate from the business. It is the business.
In one focused 30-minute call, I'll look at your website, your workflows, and your AI opportunities, then tell you the three things costing you the most and exactly what I'd fix first. You walk away with a clear next move whether we work together or not.
No sales script, no runaround. Send a few lines about where you are and I'll reply within one business day with a straight answer, and whether I'm even the right fit.
