About Us

Websites Rooted in Science and Nature

Silphium Design is the brainchild of Robert Coxe, a solopreneur with a unique blend of expertise. Robert’s background in science, specifically as the former State Ecologist of Delaware and Past President of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science, informs his approach to web design. He understands the importance of clear communication, logical organization, and user-centered design principles.

But Robert’s passion extends beyond the digital realm. He’s an avid explorer and prolific writer, contributing nearly 1,200 articles to Wikipedia. This dedication to research and knowledge sharing translates to websites that are informative, accurate and engaging.

Websites Designed for Growth

“Silphium Design” itself is steeped in nature. It draws inspiration from the Yellow-cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum), a majestic species native to North America that thrives in the gardens of surrounding Robert’s workspace.

Standing tall at eight-feet, with vibrant yellow blooms reminiscent of sunflowers, the yellow-cup plant embodies the essence of Silphium Design’s philosophy. Just like these long-lived giants that return year after year, your website, crafted by Silphium Design, will be built to stand the test of time. It will be easily discoverable, user-friendly, and accessible to all.
