Joshua Braff is the author of The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green and Peep Show, which will be available in June 2010. We worked with our friends at David Taylor Design to create a clean, usable, Wordpress-based interface to promote his novels.
The NMC is doing great work in the city of Newark, NJ. We provided them with simple, modern design to help them accomplish their mission of creating strong mentoring organizations.
Meridian Transportation + Logistics was in need of a simple website that could be easily updated. We designed and developed a custom Wordpress theme filled with vibrant photos and jQuery goodness.
The New School in New York City needed a website for their student senate. We built them a solid template that's powered entirely by our trusty friend, Wordpress. This site is currently featured in the Wordpress.org Showcase of WP-powered websites.
Hoboken is a hip, square mile city located across the river from Manhattan. They were in need of a website that could display large amounts of municipal information in a clear and concise way. We delivered a smooth design that's completely powered by Wordpress.
Here's a list of companies and organizations we've worked with.
"We're a design school and I've produced a lot of websites, but the job Tom did for us was truly outstanding. He produced a great design with lots of technical functionality (mail, polls, forms) really fast, and any feature we needed seemed to appear instantly. Plus, the design has even impressed our most critical users."

"Tom came highly recommended when we were looking to re-engineer our website, and he has exceeded our expectations. Feedback has been very positive, and it is now being much more actively used. The look and feel of the site is great, but for me the key to what Tom has engineered, is the simplicity of updating content."
Stephen Lythe / Long Hill Chapel / longhillchapel.net
"Working with Tom has been a pleasure. He had come to us highly recommended by IT experts in the educational field. We needed to establish a particular web page in English and Spanish for our director of neonatal research and academic affairs and Tom did it quickly and thoroughly."
Pat Poland / MidAtlantic Neonatology Associates / mananewborn.com
"We learned about Tom through another web site he had designed. Tom reinvented our website by updating the content and refreshing the colors and graphics. Now the links and pages load much faster, making the site more user friendly. In addition, Tom made it easy for us to update."
Ray Linke / Alnor Oil Company / alnoroil.com
We like to keep it simple. Our design is clean and refreshing. Our code is slim and standards-compliant. Our content is informative and direct. We're big fans of web standards, jQuery and Wordpress.
We've been in the web business for 15 years, working with companies like NJ.com, MLB.com and Yankees.com. That's actually where the term 'Slurve' comes from. It's a baseball term — a combination of a slider and a curveball. Nothing more. Just the name of a baseball pitch and a simple, short word that's fun to say. (Go ahead, say it out loud a few times.) When we're not working on the web, we enjoy traveling to foreign countries, listening to good music and taking photographs. Not always in that order, but most of the time.
We'd love to work with you. Get in touch!
