Overview
It’s a simple fact of the digital age that all authors and publishers need a great looking website to showcase their work and to connect with their audience.
That is where I can help. With over 20 years experience in the fields of Internet and mobile technologies, I have worked with companies such as the BBC and Sony, as well as a variety of other business clients.
Now I would like to take those years of experience and apply them toward building you an easy-to-navigate mobile and tablet-responsive author website that will showcase your work and provide you with a destination where your fans can find you online.
Here are just some of services that I can provide whether you need a new website or you’ve already got a site that just needs some fine-tuning:
Website Creation:
With my years of web design experience, I can provide you with a WordPress website designed to fit your needs whether that’s a one-page, multi-page, or even an e-commerce site.
Website Optimization:
I’ll give your WordPress website a tune-up, from top to bottom, to improve website performance. This includes things like investigating issues caused by themes, plugins, non-optimized images, poor web hosting, and more.
WordPress Upkeep:
Scheduled maintenance on various items, including theme and plugins updates, will be performed to ensure that your website is always running smoothly.
Go ahead and get in touch, so that we can discuss how I can make your life easier by taking care of the tech work associated with your author site, which will allow you to focus your valuable time elsewhere.

Matthew knew all the right questions to ask about my ideal writer’s site. Together we worked through the materials and the end result was spectacular! He far exceeded my expectations. His prices were very reasonable, too.

I'd definitely recommend Matthew. He's given my website a tune-up, and helped me by explaining the pros and cons of different ways to set up my site, within the theme I'd chosen. He was always prompt and pleasant to work with.

Matthew's gotta be one of the most professional and creative persons I've ever worked with. He built my website from scratch, leaving me very proud with the end result. If you're looking for a web designer, search no more - Matt is your guy!

Working with Matthew was a pleasure! Before he even offered the quote he asked questions to get ideas of what I wanted to happen with my website. I absolutely would recommend him for a WordPress website.
