Relationship: Long-time collaboration with the team behind JetHost
If you’ve ever browsed a beautifully built website that loads quickly, tells a compelling story, and feels effortless to use – there’s a chance eDesign Interactive was behind it.
With more than two decades in the business and a team based in the US and Europe, eDesign Interactive is one of the most respected digital agencies in their field. They build high-impact websites, immersive brand experiences, and marketing campaigns that connect on both a visual and functional level.
Their work ranges from complex e-commerce builds to cinematic landing pages. Each project blends strong creative direction with UX strategy, technical precision, and performance that holds up under pressure. And while the visuals often get the attention, what makes their websites work is how seamlessly the creative and technical sides come together.
We spoke with George, CEO of eDesign Interactive, about building for scale, the role of hosting behind the scenes, and what makes digital projects truly successful.
Q: You’ve worked on some massive website projects. How important is hosting to your success?
George: Hosting plays a bigger role than most people realize. It affects how fast a site loads, how stable it feels, and how smooth the launch goes. When everything else is done right – the design, the development, the content – you still need a hosting setup that supports it without causing friction. If the server fails under pressure, none of the other work will matter. We treat hosting as one of the key parts of delivery, not an afterthought.
Q: What makes a hosting partner valuable to you?
George: We need people who take their part of the project seriously and don’t disappear when things get complicated. Hosting issues aren’t always dramatic, but they can create serious friction. If support is slow or unclear, it adds hours to our workday and frustration to the client’s. A great hosting partner is calm under pressure and helps you move forward, not sideways.
Q: You’ve worked with the people behind JetHost for some time. What has that experience been like?
George: When you manage high-traffic websites for demanding clients, your hosting partner can make or break the project. We’ve worked with the people behind JetHost for years, and we’ve always valued their consistency, clarity, and the way they handle challenges with calm and confidence. It’s easy to look good when things are going well – but it’s how people respond when something goes off-script that really shows you who you’re working with.
Q: How does that kind of trust affect your own team?
George: It removes a layer of worry. We can stay focused on the creative, the deadlines, and the strategy – without second-guessing the infrastructure. That helps our team stay sharp. No one wants to burn an afternoon trying to track down a DNS misfire or deal with confusing server issues when they’re prepping a client pitch. If someone handles that for us, quietly and correctly, they’re worth their weight in gold.
Q: Beyond hosting, what do you think makes a great digital presence in 2025?
George: A strong digital presence starts with clarity and purpose. We’ve seen a lot of websites that try to say too much, too fast. We try to pull things back – keep the messaging clean, the layout intuitive, and the design tied to the brand’s personality. The tech side is just as important. SEO, performance, accessibility – these are things that shouldn’t be bolted on later. They’re part of the foundation.
And of course, make sure your site doesn’t feel like it belongs to another decade. Unless you’re going for retro vibes on purpose – which, I’ll admit, takes guts.
Final thoughts
eDesign Interactive continues to lead with creativity backed by real strategy and execution. For them, long-term success depends not just on design and innovation – but on dependable systems and people behind the scenes who understand what’s at stake.
At JetHost, we’re proud to be one of those quiet but essential pieces of their process.
