Who We Are…

James Thoms

Co-founder, Digital Architect & Developer


A New York City native with over 25 years of web development experience and can take the lead on everything from building and installing servers in a data center to heading up and participating in the full development cycle for projects. This includes devising the initial software design and database schema, writing MySQL stored procedures, developing administration tools, writing customer facing responsive database driven pages, and cross browser/platform testing. Front, back, and inside out web development, what’s commonly called a “Full-Stack” LAMP developer.

Paul Mayson

Co-founder, Frontend Developer


In 2001 Paul entered the tech world from the marketing side of life in order to drive web projects forward while always looking out for the original marketing objectives. In a corporate environment, Paul took a hands-on approach to web design & development work to keep on track and prevent the dreaded “slippage” that was becoming the norm. With the ability to communicate technical topics in an uncomplicated fashion, Paul floats between the client, developers and designers, and works to keep things on track while picking up the digital bits and pieces where needed.

Together, we bring decades of collective experience in web design, development and marketing built on a solid background in the art, professional services, and book publishing businesses.

We have a powerful process developed over many projects to be the most effective way to build a fantastic website that builds community, drives revenue, and pushes forward on your goals.

Born in New York City, and now with a second office in the heart of Fairfield, Connecticut, ClearDev helps organizations from all over the world. We’re no strangers to working with clients down the block, or remotely across the US and abroad.
