"A friend of mine who had used Laurence to build her website recommended him to me. Immediately, I felt comfortable working with him. I expressed what I was trying to accomplish, and he took in that information, gave me his thoughts and suggestions and never gave me the feeling that I wasn't part of the process. Laurence was very accessible and patient, which was very important for a perfectionist like myself. He constantly gave me tips on how to make my website more efficient and user friendly, and in the end I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Laurence's services in a heartbeat and hope to use him again in the future. Thank you Laurence! You have helped make my creative dream become a reality!”

This site uses a PayPal shopping cart to market a collection of very snarky Holiday Greetings Cards. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, you might want to check this out. I never had much fondness for websites with animated falling leaves or snowflakes and I was skeptical when this client asked me to do it... but you know what? Sometimes the client really is right... and I think they work great on this site.

“If you're like me and find the whole website design thing daunting, then Laurence is your guy. He guided me through the set up and retail process perfectly and was very patient with my rookie questions. He put what was in my head right onto the page. You can't ask any more than that."

This was the Official Online Store for the 2008 presidential campaign of Senator John Edwards. For obvious reasons, the site is no longer online. Too bad he messed up... it seemed like he had good things to offer but as the story has unfolded, it just gets uglier and uglier.

This site features a database-driven catalog of furniture and home decorating accessories, The challenge was to devise a method of displaying a very large number of items and make it easy to browse without an inordinate amount of clicking. The solution was to use a “rollover” technique that doesn’t require that the site visitor ”click to enlarge” and “click to close” each and every item in the catalog.

“I finally made the decision last year to create a web site for my home-based business. I spoke with many professional web site designers, but I wasn't happy with their ideas or attitudes! A friend of mine referred me to Laurence Abrams. I am so grateful for that recommendation! Laurence is so easy to work with - He is extremely creative, prompt and completely understands what I want to communicate to the people who visit my web site! I am thrilled to continue to work with Laurence and I highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in creating a web site for their business or personal use!”

“ Asking Laurence to be the designer for my website was one of the best business decisions I have ever made. Before I started working with Laurence I was extremely stressed out about how my site was going to be put together. I knew it was tricky and kept thinking I might need two websites. Well, because of Laurence's creativity the problem was solved easily and a single website emerged better than I ever imagined possible. Laurence's patience and willingness to understand my needs put him head and shoulders above any other web designer I talked to. He put me at ease immediately and I knew he really cared about making my website an extension of who I am. If you're in search of a web designer, look no further. “

About a year ago we hired a company to help build a commercial web site which was estimated to be about an eight week project. They took about eight months! Then, we called Laurence Abrams to help us build a second site which was a just a little less complex, but it still had to look great, work perfectly, and we needed it as soon as possible. We assumed that the job would take about a month. Laurence had us up and running PERFECTLY in less than a week, it looks fantastic, and it didn't break the bank. Thanks so much for your talent, Laurence!

I love my website! I couldn't imagine how it should be done, and Laurence made it come alive with imagination and creativity. He also very clearly explained to me the technical things -- like upload & download -- that I needed but had no idea how to work. And I kept thinking of more things to add and he was always accepting and patient with my confusion and ignorance, and he always maintained a good sense of humor! Thanks, Laurence!

" I couldn't be happier with my site! Deciding on who to work with was the most stressful part of launching my website. With limited resources, I couldn't afford to select the wrong web designer. After talking with Laurence, I knew immediately he was the "one". His enthusiasm and passion for his craft was apparent - he seemed more excited about my site design than I was! Laurence was a great asset in making my "vision" a reality. He is creative, offers excellent suggestions, is easy to collaborate with and most importantly, gets the job done in a timely manner. I would recommend Laurence to anyone. Thank you Laurence for everything! "

“When I first started thinking about doing my site I was overwhelmed. I didn't feel in touch with my creativity because of the large task at hand. Let me tell you, that was not my experience once I started working with Laurence. He is creative, he has great suggestions and he is very easy to work with. I have received so many compliments on my site. It is efficient, eye appealing, changes and updates are easily made. My site is doing for me exactly what I wanted - my team uses it for training, to introduce the product line and opportunity and to get all current updates off the calendar. My experience working with Laurence is total ease.”
