Web studio
Custom websites, online stores, plus the knowledge that moves them. I do it all, from build to support.
Build, launch, backup, support.
Six basic steps. Start with a sketch, that's the ballpark number. Send me the sketch as a note to start a conversation. Then the quote, after a conversation, is the project's scope.
01Sketch
01 · Sketch
Start here. Create a Sketch with my outline tool by picking a club, a shop, or a local business. Select what you already know the site needs to do for you. The range on the sketch is the ballpark number, a rough idea. Details that are not on this page come up in the conversation afterwards.
02 · Note
Sending a note from the sketch sends me your name, email, and the outline. That starts the conversation, and I'll schedule a time to talk with you. Otherwise, just send me a note directly if you have a question.
03 · Quote
A complete quote comes back after the conversation. It can add work the sketch didn't ask about, and it can drop an option that does not belong. It also shows costs for ongoing work such as hosting or website backups.
04 · Build
The site is built to the quote. A catalog, pay on the site, member login, or booking is in the build only if the quote includes it.
05 · Launch
The site goes on a web server. A backup is taken at launch for safety. Ongoing backups are separate, and only set up if you want me to handle it.
06 · After
Support stays with the studio for a monthly fee. An ongoing backup, if wanted, runs on the studio's install of Reaver Backup.

No hassle. No commitment. Easy process.
On the finished site
The page says what you do, where you do it, and how to get in touch. A search engine reads that as structured language on the page. That is called SEO and AEO.
The same page answers in normal sentences: the service, the area, the hours and how to book. When someone asks an AI Agent "Who does this work nearby?", those sentences are what the Agent quotes.
A file called llms.txt sits on the web server and lists those pages. It is a map for the search engines and AI tools that read sites. The map only helps because the pages themselves are clear.
The phone number, the form, and a way to ask for an appointment sit on the page the visitor is already reading. The next step is there, not tucked in a menu.
The aim is more of the right visits, and more of those visits turning into a call, a booking or a sale.
Previous jobs, scoped as projects with a public result.
Software and scripts that I built, released for anyone to use.
A rough price range for a club, a shop, or a local business. A starting point for a conversation.
What clients say
This is amazingly better site than what we had and a lot easier to manage. We can actually do it ourselves now without having to ask someone else to make changes for us.
We didn't have a website and had no idea what was involved in building one. Matt walked us through it and got us set up with a site to get us started. We'll definitely be working with him to add on to the site as we grow.
Why work with me
You work with the person who designs the site, builds it, and puts it on a server. The tooling around a launch is part of the job, so the site is not handed off as a folder of files.
Who it is for
The work is scoped for small and medium businesses: a shop, a club, a local business. My local area is The Woodlands, Spring, and Magnolia, Texas, and I work with businesses anywhere in the US. A public site or a store, built to that size, with support after it is up.
What each kind of site includes: club sites, shop sites, FFL dealer sites, and local business sites.
Background
A technology background, and working knowledge of oil and gas, water treatment, firearms dealers and non-profit or sporting clubs. The site can follow how your business actually runs.
