About
I’m Matthew Babbs. intangiblestyle is my one-man web development studio—the place where I create ‘websites that work’.
I’m passionate about usability, clean design, web standards and a few other things that go into websites that work—in particular, about bringing these to a level where they’re often hard to find: for smaller businesses and organisations.
And of course, if you like the idea of a website that works, I’m available to hire. You can drop me a line from my contacts page, or go fill out the 15-minute project questionnaire so we can discuss your project in more detail.
Going beyond design
A successful website or app needs more than a good design.
That’s why I start every project by looking at objectives, both for the site and as part of your ‘bigger picture’: what you want to achieve. What your users want, and how it’s going to happen. What the message is, and how to get it to the right people. How to get those people from prospect to paying customer.
Only by understanding objectives can we see what content the site needs – and how the design can support both! The result will look good – but it’ll work great.
Web development style
I’m a web developer, not just a designer. That means my web development style is a little bit different, particularly if you’re used to an ‘agency’-style process. I find being small helps with a few things like:
- Communication. No account handlers or passing-the-buck here. You’ll be speaking to the person building your site—me!
- Iteration. Being ‘just me’ means I can adopt an agile, iterative approach to web development.
- Flexibility. Projects are fluid. Requirements are changed and refined as they develop. As they change, I’ll adapt to meet them.
- Pricing. Asking about your budget early guides project scope and ensures the best possible result—without the risk of cost overruns.
