Why hire Matthew Stephens?
Unique Experience

Not many designers can say they've started and run one of Alexa's top 500 largest web sites of all-time. Being the Co-Founder of deviantART.com has allowed me unique opportunities to learn what works and what doesn't. I take this experience and use it to leverage your website into the top position against your competition.

I have also worked extensively with design firms, search engine marketing firms, and print companies. I know quite a bit about all aspects of this business. I have forged relationships with many important industry leaders and can use them to improve your website where others could not.

Expert Knowledge

Writing a book on web design at the age of 19 is not something I brag about much, as I'm quite modest about these things. But this is a perfect example of just how knowledgable I am regarding web development. I have lectured at conferences, hosted radio shows, and taught classes at the University of Texas on web design.

My approach to learning new things hasn't failed me yet. I spend 3 months at a time devoted to what it is I'm interested in and refuse to focus on learning anything else until I'm an expert. After 7 years, I have picked up just about everything I can, but still have a long way to go.

Value and Professionalism

As experienced and talented as the previous paragaphs allude to, I am still considerably cheaper than any high-end design firm. I can afford to charge much less than my competition because I am doing it by myself without having to pay for the typical overhead.

I have also perfected a system for developing sites that increases efficiency tremendously and also improves the quality of communication between myself and the client. This almost always results in a better website and a satisfied customer. I have never had a client refuse to work with me after a site was developed. I will do whatever it takes to make sure you are happy with the website you were built.
