About the Team

OUR STORY

Friends of the Web began in Baltimore, founded by Andy Mangold, Anthony Mattox, Dan Martens, and Josh Hepworth, partnering with early startups and local tech firms. Their web expertise led to notable projects like Wikiweb—highlighted by Apple and Starbucks—and long-term collaborations with clients such as Huckberry, Kilotype, and Frere-Jones Type foundry. They innovated industry standards with their license selection UI and contributed significantly to arts and research sectors, supporting organizations like the LA Phil, EASEL Lab, and various academic institutions. Their tailored backend solutions empower clients like Sharp Type to manage complex media-rich content and sales. Dedicated to advancing research and technology integration, they continue crafting impactful web projects including the World Food Map and the upcoming ARTIS Database.

Portfolio

Harvard Graduate School of Education

Unknown

The EASEL Lab at Harvard University contacted us with the aim of developing a website that would assist users in navigating the intricate and often conflicting terminology used in social and emotional learning (SEL). As part of their initiative, the lab has established a scientifically-based system for categorizing, describing, and linking frameworks and skills within the "non-academic" area. The Explore SEL website we created features a functional thesaurus and interactive visual tools to enhance users' understanding and application of their research.

Huckberry

Unknown

In 2011, Richard Greiner and Andy Forch launched Huckberry from their apartment. They contacted us in the spring of 2013 to enhance Huckberry's mobile experience. By early 2014, after nearly a year of collaboration, we decided to develop a new version of the site. We completely redesigned Huckberry, addressing everything from customer experience to warehouse operations, and successfully launched in June 2014 after migrating all products, customer accounts, and orders. Since then, we have maintained an ongoing partnership with Huckberry, continually improving the site, assisting with key architectural and technological decisions, and managing a team of web developers who have worked on the project.

Frere-Jones Type

Unknown

During his long career, Tobias Frere-Jones has established himself as one of the leading type designers globally. When he chose to become independent and launch his own type foundry, he reached out to us to create his new website. We crafted the site to emphasize the type prominently, allowing the interface to stay in the background. A key aspect of our work was to ensure that the intricate pricing structure for different licensing options and type styles was straightforward and user-friendly.
