Your Business has Evolved. Your Website Should, Too.
If your online presence hasn’t caught up with your business, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to fix it alone, either.
You're good at what you do. Your clients are happy.
Your offers are solid. Your business is growing.
But somehow, your website hasn't caught up.
Maybe it's still stuck in an unpublished template graveyard.
Maybe you're embarrassed to send people there, even though you're proud of your actual work.
Or maybe you've tried to hire help before…
and ended up with something that didn't feel right
(and definitely didn't convert).
If you've ever thought…
“It feels like everyone has a beautiful, functional site but me.”
"I'm afraid of paying thousands and putting so much time into the process and still not loving the result."
"I just need someone who can take what I do and translate it online".
You're not behind.
You're not the problem.
And you're abso-friggin-lutely in the right place.
This is the part where I take the lead and build you a strategic, clarity-driven website that reflects your business and helps it grow.
I design conversion-focused Squarespace websites
for entrepreneurs & small business owners
who are done being the internet’s best-kept secret.
Hi, I’m Janessa Philemon-Kerp (yep, that’s the ‘JPK’ in JPK Design Co 😉).
A Squarespace website designer and digital strategist, I help founders, entrepreneurs and small business owners create conversion-focused websites that align with their audience and their goals.
I bring corporate-level project management and clarity to every client experience, developed over years leading global events for Fortune 100 tech companies. Trained & certified in digital marketing, SEO, copywriting, Squarespace, and digital business management, I’ve been a strategic web designer for the past three years.
I live in Portland, Oregon with my fiancé, a winemaker (lucky me! 🍷), and work remotely for part of every year. When not at my desk, I’m probbbbably planning my next trip, enjoying the great outdoors in the gorgeousPacific Northwest, or scouting the best vegan dumplings or patio slushies in town.
From “Where do I even start?”
to a launch-ready site—
in three easy steps
Step 1: Research & Ready
Once we decide to work together and secure your date, I’ll send your client portal. Inside, you’ll find clear instructions, prep guides, and everything you need to complete before we start.
Step 2: Design & Build
During your project window, I’ll handle the design and keep you updated. You’ll review, give feedback, and approve as we move through each phase.
Step 3: Launch & Beyond
On launch day (or launch hour!), we’ll go live together. You’ll get a personalized walkthrough of your site, custom video tutorials, and a post-launch support window so you feel confident moving forward.
My Values (in life and in work)
Stay curious
I ask questions, explore possibilities, and value learning and “What if?” over rigidity or judgment. There’s always room to adapt.
As Ted Lasso says, “Be curious, not judgmental.”
Choose integrity
No hype, shortcuts, or shiny tactics that don’t serve you well. I design and live with intention and do what’s right, even when it takes more time or is the harder option.
Make room for joy
Joy isn’t just a launch-day outcome, it’s part of the process. I create space for celebrating the small wins along the way. (Confetti cannon, anyone? 🎉)
Prioritize sustainable growth
I believe in slow-and-steady success: the kind that aligns with your goals, your energy, and the life and business you’re building.
Build with flexibility
My own life and work flex with me, and I advocate the same for my clients. The websites we build together will be able to grow, shift, and stretch with you as your business grows.
Lead with collaberation
This is a two-way process. I work with you and your goals to build something grounded, strategic, and genuinely aligned. Because good things are built together.
Personally Speaking…
TRavel-obsessed
I work remote part of every year, with a soft spot in my heart for the Balkan countries.
Food-motivated
Born vegetarian, I've been vegan for 17 years. I collect both food tattoos and food earrings.
Most recent tattoo: covrig (Romanian pretzel)
Most recent earrings: pistachio
personality quiz
me, in a nutshell: Pisces, Enneagram 2W3, ENFP, and a Human Design Generator.
I'm a sucker for a good (or relatively mediocre) personality test.
favorite animal
Wombat. They are cute, they dig, they have square poop. I love them.
two left feet
I have no rhythm. Like none. I cannot dance, or even clap in time, to save my life.
most saved on instagram
Ram Das quotes., travel memes, cute kids & animals, and vegan recipes galore.
Book lover
As a lit major, I’m happy to talk books all day every day. Ask me for a book rec and I will overdeliver, complete with character analysis & snack pairings.
ceo of sparkling bevs
I love sparkling anything.
And I REALLY love sparkling wine.
Respectfully: cava > champagne.
