About

Tom Rogers has long been respected for his attention to detail and his commitment to doing every job well.

For over 20 years he ran a high-end custom woodworking company in Boston, and it was his focus on the intricate details that made his projects stand out.

In 1996, Tom and a partner worked with a developer to set up an online store selling Atkins Vitamins, and assorted personal care products. Back then there weren’t any eCommerce platforms like there is today. They were selling products all over the world – it was an exciting experience.

Tom caught the web design bug in 2002 when he set up a site to organize his 30th high school reunion. A year later he cofounded a grassroots organization called Citizens for a Strong Community (CSC), which worked to unite and inform residents of Hamilton and Wenham, Massachusetts. The website he designed for CSC grew quickly as a community resource and was accompanied by a weekly e-newsletter Tom was instrumental in producing. CSC morphed into Support Our Schools (SOS) which he managed until closing down the site in 2018. In 2004, Tom was invited to be webmaster for the National Empowerment Center, which officially cemented his changeover from master cabinetmaker to webmaster.

As he demonstrated to many highly satisfied clients in 23 years of intricately crafting wood, Tom has a natural eye for fine design and he knows how to create it. Aware that every business has unique needs, Tom analyzes each situation thoroughly with the client’s input before determining the most effective appearance and approach. He and his experienced creative team design websites and supporting features (blogs, forums, etc.) that show credibility, professionalism, and trustworthiness along with aesthetic appeal. You can count on Tom Rogers Web Design to give your business the Internet presence it needs—and deserves.

Tom recently sold his house of 22 years and bought a smaller fixer upper. He's working with some great sub contractors, but on the whole is doing most of the work on his own. With the pandemic, it's been slow going, but it's coming out great! Next up is fixing up his dilapidated garage. He looks forward to working on the landscape. He loves to get out for hikes on the great trails nearby, hanging on the beach, reading books and watching movies. His prior volunteer work focused on funding of public schools and fostering communication in his rural community, and efforts to promote recycling and re-use of household items and building supplies.
