THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROJECTS
Who is
Jay Salton?
A designer’s eye.
A technical background.
An entrepreneur’s curiosity.
I started with the technology: PCs, networks, servers and hosting. That foundation grew into a career in website design, digital marketing and building online businesses.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked with small businesses and entrepreneurs to make their websites clearer, their technology easier to manage and their businesses easier to find.
Today, I’m focused on Hostio and independent digital projects. The goal is the same: make getting online feel less complicated.
