What's In a Name?

Yes, the name Rocket Jones does have a special meaning. Glad you asked! Besides having a cool ring, Rocket Jones suits us because it captures the two most important aspects of who we are.

When we think of rockets, we think of cutting-edge science, advanced technologies and highly skilled professionals making neat stuff work. That's the rocket part of our name.

Our team lives on the cutting edge of web technologies. Boring tech babble to many, but not to our guys. Computer nerds? You bet, the best kind. The kind of geeks who think “reasonable bedtime” means “after I've got this cool new thing figured out.”

Truth is, you need guys like us on your side. Our team shines because we don't just dabble with web technologies—we live and breathe them. We're not cocky but we are confident. That's what puts the Rocket in Rocket Jones.

But...

Simone:I know you’re right, Pee-wee, but…

Pee-Wee:Everyone I know has a big “But.” C’mon, Simone, let’s talk about your big “But.”

—Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure

It’s not enough to hunker down in the programming dungeon and write code. The problem with a lot of computer nerds is that they don’t know how to apply technologies in the real world. We understand that the greatest new technologies don’t amount to a hill of beans if they aren’t applied to your business in a practical and cost-effective way.

Meet the Joneses. We know how to listen as you talk about your needs. And as we listen, we think about your unique project and what technologies might work best for you. And we talk. We talk in normal, everyday language. We don’t try to impress with geek-speak. We impress by listening, thinking and creating solutions that help you do what you do best—your business! We’re personable, friendly and easy to talk to. Just like a friendly neighbor.

So that’s us. Just think of us as the Joneses from next door who happen to have a degree in Rocket Science.
