I’m Matt. I plan, design, and build stuff on the web. I’m a nerd that speaks human, uses modern tools, and loves helping clients solve problems and conquer the internet.

Working Concept is in Lake Mary, Florida. I work with clients small and large, building ExpressionEngine or WordPress sites, custom CodeIgniter-based applications, and the occasional prototype.

School of Visual Concepts

Seattle, Washington

In 2009, one of Seattle’s most beloved learning institutions needed a modern website for showcasing its offerings, registering students, and taking payments. Working Concept built a system from scratch, giving the site a public facelift and tailored suite of administrative tools.

During the site’s continuous evolution, we’ve added a school calendar, support for custom payments, ongoing search engine optimization, and site-wide SSL security.

Request Tracker Application

The design team at a well-known Fortune 500 company needed a way to collect and manage its increasing volume of requests. What started as a quick prototype has continued to evolve web application that's utilized from various points on the globe. The web app uses a private API to interact with a native Mac OSX application and dashboard widget.

In addition to facilitating a more streamlined work flow, the application provides various decision-makers with the ability to instantly see what different teams are working on.

Pat Hackett, Art Rep

Seattle, Washington

Pat represents a number of talented artists, and the website that represented her was showing its age. We worked together to create an elegant, modern website that can be regularly maintained. The sleek new site was designed to compliment a newly-developed logo and print package handcrafted by the talented Juliet Shen.

Mirikeen Homes

Medina, Washington

This boutique home building company needed a website that could showcase its homes with the same attention to detail that’s applied in the home building process. The end result was a simple and elegant showcase of work that can be easily maintained. The incorporated identity refresh even made its way to new business cards and truck graphics!

Old Santa Fe Trading Co

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Forrest Fenn has built an enormous collection of artwork and historic artifacts from throughout the southwest and beyond. His continued to writing, blogging, and public interviews made it clear that he needed an improved web presence. We redesigned the Old Santa Fe Trading Co website using many actual drawings and artifacts, and built everything on top of ExpressionEngine so that future blogging, collection maintenance, and even selling artifacts would be straightforward.

Cindy Epps

Bothell, Washington

Though Cindy's work and client testimonials speak for themselves, they weren't saying much on the internet before cindyepps.com. We built a site that would showcase spots and testimonials, making sure that video would work just as well on an iPhone as it does on the desktop. This is all built with a CMS, of course, so that Cindy can make updates when she gets a rare break between projects.

Okay, so now what?

That depends. If you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and responsive web pro to build a relationship with, I might be a great fit. If you've got a massive project with a tight deadline, you'll probably want to look at bigger studios that have more than one person on the payroll. Either way, get a hold of me and I'll do my best to help!
