ABOUT ME

Matt
My name is Matt and I am a 27 year old freelance web designer based in Central London (that's me on the right, aged 6) whose role is to make your online vision a reality. I strive to find the right balance between technical expertise and design impact and aim to deliver sites that not only work well but look fantastic.

Away from web design, I'm passionate about art - I run a small contemporary art space in London called The Crate and deal in original posters. Please get involved with my new blog, The House of Gerrish.

A client wanted an online rsvp site for a big summer party.

On a practical level it saves time and money for the host, who is emailed the response in the blink of an eye. Of course, the site is password-protected so only those lucky ones can access it...
