About me
A one-person studio. By design.
I’m Matthew. I run a one-person web studio out of Edmonton, Alberta, building modern websites for small businesses across Canada and the US, trades and contractors, clinics, shops, studios, consultants, and professional services.
I work directly with the businesses I build for. There’s no project manager between you and the person making the design decisions, no rotating cast of junior designers, no offshore handoffs. Just me, doing the whole thing: strategy, brand, design, code, deploy.
What I care about is the small details that make a website feel designed-not-templated. Typography that respects the work it’s framing. Custom palettes built around your business’s actual identity. Honest copy. Sites that load quickly on a laptop at the front desk and make sense on a customer’s phone on the bus home.
I work in focused stretches with each business I build for, so the work gets my full attention from preview to launch. If your business needs a website that signals what your work actually is, let’s talk.
The web should look like the businesses behind it, not the other way around.”
See it first. Then decide.
Most engagements start with a working preview I’ve already built, your business’s actual site, refined and ready to look at. No discovery calls, no pitch decks, no commitment until you’ve seen what’s possible.
Preview & quote
You see a working preview of your business’s site, real brand, real content polished from your existing copy, real working build. If it’s a fit, I send a fixed scope and a service agreement, sign and return, no money down. No pressure, no presentations, no calls.
- Working preview built up front
- Fixed scope & agreement
- $0 down to sign
Build & refine
From the preview, I refine into the final site, tightening copy, expanding pages, dialing in typography and palette around your business’s identity. Two rounds of revisions baked into scope. You see real working pages, not Figma mockups.
- Two rounds of revisions
- Content polished from your copy
- Custom typography & palette
Launch & maintain
Domain, hosting, SSL, analytics, contact-form wiring, search-engine submission. Your $75/month subscription begins on launch day, that’s the only invoice, and it covers design, hosting, edits, security, and small additions. 12-month minimum, then month-to-month.
- Netlify deploy & DNS
- $0 due to sign, first $75 invoice on launch day
- $75 / month, 12-month minimum
