RICHMOND, IN – Summersault is announcing that it will be experimenting with an unlimited paid vacation benefit for its employees.  The change is one part of the company’s overall efforts to facilitate a successful balance between “work life” and “personal life,” and to attract and retain qualified professionals in our industry.

The unlimited paid vacation is available to employees who have been with the company for at least a year, and provides a single, simple policy that covers time out of the office for actual vacations, illness, personal days, parenting, jury duty, religious holidays, and other plans that staff want to make.

RICHMOND, IN — Summersault is excited to announce the hiring of two new staff members, Michael Hampton and Matthew Jenkins. Both Richmond residents, Hampton and Jenkins join the team in a time of growth for the website development firm, founded here in 1997.

“It’s a first for us to be joined by two new people at the same time, and we couldn’t be happier to grow in this way,” said Chris Hardie, the company’s co-founder and Principal. “Both Matt and Michael bring a lot of energy and skills to our group, and it’s already been a joy to work with them.”

Jenkins will serve as the firm’s Office Manager, while Hampton will be a Software Developer involved in creating and maintaining various database driven websites. The additions bring the total staff size at Summersault to eight.

Summersault, LLC is a leader in database driven web solutions. The Richmond, Indiana based firm offers a single point of contact for highly customized web design and application development solutions, as well as professional consulting services and support.

Ten years ago, when Chris Hardie ‘99 and Mark Stosberg ‘98 started a web design business in Hardie’s Earlham College dorm room, they didn’t really have a plan for the long term future.

But things have worked out pretty well. Summersault, LLC, the Web development firm they launched in 1997, has more than 300 clients all over the country. Hardie and Stosberg are now community leaders in Richmond, Ind., lending their passion, energy and expertise to their adopted hometown.
