Hi, my name is Matt and I have been in the digital space for over 15 years. I have created websites on many platforms over the years but now primarily build all of my websites on the WIX platform. Instead of me talking about myself, I asked a friend to hit me with some questions that people might be interested in to get to know more about the person behind the screen.
ABOUT ME
Where are you located?
I live in a charming coastal town called Yamba, situated on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Yamba is known for its stunning beaches, relaxed lifestyle, and vibrant community. My wife, Sarah, and I are raising our two daughters, Lucy and Zimi, here. We cherish the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty and close-knit community that Yamba offers, making it an ideal place for our family to thrive.
If you're not teaching or building websites, what else do you do?
Well, I have a young family that consists of a two girls that keep me on my toes. One is 4 and my eldest daughter is 7. So if I am not at the park, beach or in the pool with them I am usually surfing.
How did you learn to build websites and do graphics?
I’m self-taught and have spent years learning through tutorials and practice in the digital space. I first got into graphics when I started making iPhone apps and taught myself how to use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create and edit visuals. Over time, I also learned how to design websites, applying those same skills to build clean, user-friendly sites.
Why would I choose you to create my website or logo?
You should choose me to create your website or logo because I’m committed to delivering exactly what you need. I’m easy to communicate with and make sure to listen to your ideas and preferences. If you’re unsure about the design, I’ll guide you and create something that fits perfectly with your brand or product. If you already have a logo, I’ll design your website to match, using the same colours and fonts to create a consistent and polished look.
Is Web Development your full time job?
No. Web development and graphic design work is a side gig for me as my main profession is teaching. I am a Teacher Librarian at Iluka Public School three days a week. I teach the students science and technology and also library. I use my background in this digital space to also teach my students some basics in graphic design and how to use technology effectively.
