sum(design) is not your average design firm. While we offer the same graphic and web design services as the "other guy", we believe we are anything but ordinary.

We hope that you'll stick around and check out some recent work, learn some more about us and the services that we offer. In the end, you'll see why we're different too. When you're ready, contact us and schedule your free consultation.

why is sum different?

  • we're not afraid to include a custom content management system (CMS) with every site we develop, at no cost.
  • we're happy to bundle a year of complementary web hosting with every web package.
  • we offer project based pricing, at very competitive rates... and won't surprise you with any hidden costs.
  • we're willing to work with any size budget.
  • we love to work with start-ups and small businesses to help them grow so that they can compete with the big guys... yet...
  • we're not intimidated by large companies, projects, or anything in between.
  • we take great pride in our customer-centric view of things.

Learn sum(thing) about us

sum(design) was founded in the spring of 2009 by Scott Glasser. Located in downtown Schenectady, NY, sum specializes in high quality website design and development at realistic rates.

While we offer the same graphic and web design solutions as most of our competition we like to think that we stand out from the crowd. Every website project we work on includes, at no extra cost, a custom designed content management system, a year of web hosting, real-time traffic reports and a monthly review, basic search engine optimization, and a completely custom design built around your needs and target audience! Our rates are realistic, reasonable, and are project based so you will know exactly what your project will cost before we even get started. No ranges. No surprises.

Scott Glasser

Meet Scott Glasser

Scott has been designing and developing websites since the 1990's. If you're looking for experience, you've found it. He loves PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript and jQuery, MySQL and MS SQL, User Interface design, SEO, Macs, the Chicago Bears, and things that transform. You can find Scott frequently tweeting randomness on Twitter.

Erik Straub

Meet Erik Straub

Erik has been making the internet work for folks since before he could drive. Everything from web sites to apps. He's currently obsessing over Ruby on Rails, but knows PHP, jQuery, and SQL like the back of his hand. Aside from that, he enjoys being a father, hiking, snowboarding, mountain biking, and live music. Follow Erik on Twitter, but try not to be offended.
