Web design for Thomas M. Truxes, an author and a member of the faculty of New York University where he teaches courses on Irish history and the history of the early-modern Atlantic world.

This website’s intent was to highlight the author’s range of academic interests while simultaneously showcasing published work.  The sidebar features the cover illustration of Defying Empire: Trading with the Enemy in Colonial New York. Design work included full wordpress theme development.
