JPS Media

What JPS Media does

JPS Media (legal entity JPS Media Ltd, with related operating entity JPS IT York Ltd, Company No: 09003972) is a privately held, founder-owned digital agency founded in 2005 by James Sweete and headquartered in Sutton upon Derwent, on the outskirts of York, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The firm operates with a small team of 1-10 people and delivers website design, bespoke web development, search engine optimisation (SEO), online marketing (email, social), website maintenance, and web hosting, supported by an extensive catalogue of add-on services including e-commerce builds (WooCommerce, OpenCart, Magento), CMS configuration (WordPress, Elementor, Webflow), logo and brand design, photography, video, link building, and IT support/products. Underlying technology is a conventional full-stack web stack (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, ASP.NET, jQuery) deployed across third-party CMS and e-commerce platforms.

The company monetises through a hybrid model: one-time project fees for website design and bespoke development work, recurring monthly subscriptions for SEO campaigns and website maintenance, and managed services for hosting and IT support. Pricing is quote-based with a non-refundable deposit and final payment due before site launch. The customer base is almost exclusively UK small and medium businesses, with a geographic concentration in York and North Yorkshire (supported by localized SEO landing pages) and a claimed ability to serve international clients remotely. Marketing is conducted in-house through the company's own website, a content blog, the 'Marketing Uncensored' podcast and newsletter, and a multi-platform organic social presence. The business is bootstrapped with no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue or funding history.
