Matt Wilson has been an essential part of the Geeks development process, not just from the work carried out but from a creative and branding point of view.

His timely completion of tasks, keeping the project manager informed and all stages, and dedication makes him a pleasure to work with. He has a very pro-active approach offering new directions and design flick-of-the-wrist that often come off and are integrated into the website.

Matt has been fantastic to work with on a consultancy, design and branding, and project development basis and I'd thoroughly recommend him.

Because we now have a choice of some exceptional – and free – CMS templates it has meant web developers have had to raise their game, adapting by keeping up with the latest developments, learning new skills and being extra competitive.

Matthew Wilson is, for sure, one of the best of the bunch. I first worked with him when he built me a complex e-commerce site in 04/05 and, continue to work with him today on website projects which are developing over time - since websites should be an 'organic process' - with all kinds of improvements from subtle design tweaks, improved copywriting, all-important SEO, etc. Matthew has developed sites for me from scratch, and from CMS templates, customised in a variety of ways. This has been especially important when I've wanted to using a template (to support the worthy Drupal, Joomla or Wordpress) but where I've required a distinctive site that ends up looking nothing like the original template. Indeed, Matthew knows his way around an array of platforms and technologies.

His business is well-established, and I know he has learnt a heck of a lot on his journey, consequently he has proved himself to be an excellent mentor, giving me a great deal of confidence to get to grips with all manner of issues, from, say, understanding how important web standards compliance is, to more technical matters.

I've no hesitation in recommending Matthew for your online project.
