riches designer, developer, gamer

I'm Matthew.

I design, develop and create in pretty much any program or language you prefer.
(except Fortran yuk!)

Design

Glossy, print, web, digital I have a full hand of design skills.
(and they're all Aces)

Develop

Simple blog, E-Commerce or full blown corporate CMS you tell me what you want and I'll make it happen.
(...I know what you're thinking and no.)

Consult

I've provided consultancy to the ITV digital design team and the Milkman, both got the same advice.
(You're doing it wrong.)

Review

Games, Operating Systems, websites and hardware; I can test, review and provide solutions to any problem you may have.

About me

I have worked as a web designer, graphic designer, web developer, web team manager and SEO specialist for many years now, including work for ITV and Money Supermarket. I have also helped develop many high profile websites and started a few companies.

Currently I work freelance full time in IT as well as a professional games reviewer for my own site and as a ghostwriter for other major magazines and websites.

In total I have personally founded 42 websites, all of which are not-for-profit and I am proud to say that since 2006 thanks to these sites and the dedicated people that help me run them we managed to donate £250,000 to charity.

This has also led me to take part in freelance journalism visiting companies such as Ubisoft, Gameloft, Microsoft and EA.

Other notable websites that I own include www.freeglance.co.uk a user-content driven video game article site, www.bhuman.co.uk a place for people to share personal stories anonymously and www.battlegrid.net a site designed to help gamers connect. I also own shares in the NewsBolier group and Midstream media amongst others.

Professionally I have helped build hundreds of sites that range both in scale, demographic and business sector. I have a wealth of experience when it comes to conceptual website design, dealing with clients and social media.

Web design

I have experience with most languages used on the web and plenty of hands-on time with popular CMS packages. Wheter you're after a small brochure site for yourself or a corporate CMS with bells and whistles (or something in between) - I have rounded skills to ensure a site that you're delighted with and feels your own is delivered.
