My name is Jacob Starnes, and I am the owner, sole developer, and team leader of Gemstone Web Development. I started developing websites after noticing that many businesses need a stronger public image, to assist in boosting sales rather than turn away potential customers. Many good businesses are still presenting cheap websites that look outdated, have poor performance, and don't do a good job informing the customer of the business product/service or of the business itself. I believe a website is like a salesman who never sleeps, and a good website can be a formidable tool for any business.
