Who Am I?
So just who is this Matt Weeden guy, anyway? Let me take a minute to introduce myself.
I'm an independent Web designer/developer. In other words, I'm a freelancer for hire. Although not a native, I did spend most of my growing-up years in Colorado, so I consider myself a Coloradoan at heart. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2005 from Colorado State University, with concentrations in graphic design and drawing.
Personal events led me to move out east after graduation, where I spent a few years working as a production artist. Essentially I built catalogs and flyers for a jewelry wholesaler. During this time I also started doing small Web jobs on the side. I discovered that I really liked Web better than print, so I invested in learning more about Web design and programming.
After a few years we as a family decided that it was time to move back to Colorado, so mid-2008 we did just that. By this point I was able to build good-looking sites with clean coding practices, but I still lacked some of the more advanced programming skills I was interested in acquiring. Then through a series of events I landed a long-term freelance job as a Web developer - that is, I would build sites with advanced functionality, based on someone else's designs.
That gig was just the ticket to round out my education. Within a couple months I had learned skills such as working with blogs, implementing videos onto sites, working with databases, creating registration/login systems, and more.
Finally, after doing business as a sole proprietor for the better part of a year, I registered my company with the state of Colorado. Now it's official: Matt Weeden Design, LLC (doesn't that sound impressive?)
So today, here I am - a full-fledged Web designer/developer. With my extensive education in design and my continually growing programming abilities, I can create sites that have both visual appeal and powerful features. Why pay for two Web people (or an agency) when you only need one guy?
