Welcome to the matt sweetman .com site. This site serves as a very brief introduction to my work. My professional services include the following:
  • Web Design
  • Print Design
  • Photography
  • Digital Image Enhancement
  • Search Engine Optimization
  • Content Management Design Integration

I have been developing skills in all these areas since 1999. These services are offered to a range of clients including businesses, organizations and individuals. 100% of my work is through referrals.

If you are interested in any of these services please use the email address at the bottom to connect with me. All contacts are usually through established friendships and so I'd be happy to work with you in developing your projects. If you have found this page randomly then you are extremely welcome as well.

Examples of my work do not exist on this web page but upon request I can send you samples and links. If you have certain requirements that are not mentioned in the listed services please contact me for further information. I have completed a number of unique projects and so your needs may well fall inside these proven skills.

I grew up in Brighton, England but currently live in the US after moving here in August 2004 to marry. Living in another culture has expanded my view of the world and being happily married has only fuelled my desire to succeed in my work. I love to design and present clients with professional and unique work. I strongly value quality, excellence and honesty in my work.

Currently I am completing a Church Planting Internship at Jubilee Church in St. Louis. This training course is very unique and will equip me to start new churches.

Below is a short article I wrote about some of my observations and insights into the web.

Reflections on the web

Understanding the internet as being the most powerful tool we have today is now fundamental to nearly all ventures. An increasing amount of communication and commerce occurs every minute. Consider thousands of people searching for the same products, service or thing at the same moment, moment after moment. Tapping into this power-tool is the single most important thing for business and organizations today.

Many factors affect your online success. How well you present yourself, expert and succinct coding, flexibility of content creation, effective research and keyword placement and advertisement. Effective web applications also help to increase productivity and decrease overheads. These are just a few examples, but it's amazing to see how many sites do most, if not all of these badly!

Setting yourself apart in the market and making a good first impression isn't as hard as some make it out. Creative thinking and effective research are potent weapons for the foundation of any project — employing both requires talent. Driving huge amounts of traffic through your site and selling your products and services is the great goal of most businesses, or it will be soon. Grasping the different factors of the web can be difficult; I guess that is why professionals exist.

Making the web work for you can produce the most incredible results. Don't forget, you actually need to know what you are doing to be effective. Many start this process by making big guesses and assumptions. If you can tap directly into the flow of traffic you've made a huge step. Sustaining this and building customer confidence is the next stride.
