The Backstory
Graph Paper Press started as a side-project for Thad in 2004 by designing multi-author blogs and social websites for non-profit organizations, small businesses and individuals. As the WordPress blogging community grew, so did the demand for new designs that stretched the limits of the popular CMS. Enter Graph Paper Press.
Today, Graph Paper Press focuses on creating graphically minimal, content-rich designs that provide your readers with multiple entry points to access your content. We are increasingly focused on helping visual artists, photographers, video, and new media producers present their work to the world. When you look good, we look good.
