About Us

We specialize in the creation of attractive, web-based software that is robust and easy to use. Our goal is is to provide a means for small businesses to utilize the internet as both an advertisement medium and a portal to connect with customers, all while maintaining visual aesthetics and consistency. Combining powerful technologies, such as Microsoft .NET, with professional graphic design, businesses can present themselves in a highly professional way.

Why Choose Twin Harbor

We are dedicated to providing professional, secure and reliable solutions. Using our base product, Waypoint, our customers can manage the content of their website directly from any web browser. This eliminates the need for a web designer throughout the life of the website. Additionally, the website can be updated from any terminal with an internet connection, allowing users to work from home or on the road.

Company History

In the late 1990′s Michael McCloy, began building websites for small businesses as a freelancer. During 2003 and 2004, he began work on the Waypoint system. As the product became functional, Michael began plans for a business that would market and continue to develop Waypoint. Twin Harbor Web Solutions was officially incorporated in 2004.

Twin Harbor Web Solutions also creates custom applications and plug-ins for the Waypoint platform on a regular basis. Some of these applications are turned into their own entities which can be purchased online as Waypoint additions, or as standalone products. Some of these include the Waypoint Time Keeper and Contact Point.

Each year, more and more websites are launched on the Waypoint platform and new applications are being built for it all the time. As we move forward into the new millenium we find that both Waypoint and our customer base are continuing to grow and prosper. Each year brings exciting new technology that we will utilize for the benefit of our customers.

Our President

Michael McCloy officially incorporated Twin Harbor Web Solutions in 2004, however the company’s true origins began much earlier. Michael started the company unofficially as Twin Harbor Web Designs in the late 1990′s while working as a freelance website developer. Building websites the traditional way was satisfying, but Michael dreamed of something better.

During 2003 and 2004, Michael began plans for the Waypoint platform. He began construction of the system and in 2004, Twin Harbor Web Solutions was founded with the goal of launching websites and applications for small busineses.

Michael began his education in Technology in High School. He took computer programming classes including AP (College-level) classes during his time there. He then graduated from New York Institute of Technogy in Old Brookville, NY with a bachelors degree in Computer Science.

Michael’s professional career in Technology started with an internship at Reuters (www.reuters.com) Technology, an international news, business and financial company. There he led the redesign and management of the company Intranet website. This position led to another within Retuers, building a new Intranet website for the Marketing Insight division. In this position Michael worked directly with the Senior Vice President of Marketing to develop a solution based on Microsoft SharePoint technology.

From there, Michael moved on to work at ING Real Estate in New York City. There he led the development of an entirely new Intranet website that allowed thousands of users to collaborate and share information. He also created various custom website applications to provide support to the Real Estate Acquisitions department.
