(about)

Hi, I'm Matt.
I build sites that sell.

I'm a Manchester-based senior developer who's built for some of the UK's biggest streetwear stores. mpskala is the same work for smaller businesses: Framer sites, Shopify stores and custom builds, done by the person you actually talk to.

Matt Skala
(the short version)

No agency. No account manager. Just me.

Agencies hand you to an account manager, who hands you to a junior, who hands you a site three months late. I skip all of that. You talk to the person writing the code, from first message to launch.

I come from big ecommerce, where every change gets measured. At that scale a 1% shift in add-to-basket is real money, so I don't guess. That habit comes with every project, big or small.

How I work.

(results)

Numbers, not adjectives.

(process)

From first message to live.

  1. (01)

    Tell me what you need

    Fill in the form. No sales call, no 40-page proposal. You get a straight answer and a fixed price.

  2. (02)

    I build, you review

    Half up front and the build starts. You review the work as it takes shape, with rounds of changes agreed in the quote.

  3. (03)

    Launch and hand over

    The rest is due before launch. You get the site, the logins, and 30 days of support if anything breaks. Want me to keep it running after that? That's what care plans are for.

(testimonials)

Ask the people who paid.

Matt's worked across our entire brand portfolio for over two years. Last-minute jobs, unrealistic deadlines, early starts, late finishes. The quality's never dropped once.

Chris Johnson — Footasylum

Matt's changes made a real difference across the site. No lengthy briefs, no drawn-out revisions. Just the right call, made quickly.

Ross Taylor — Footasylum

We had nothing — no site, no brand presence online. I was particular about every detail, and Matt still delivered something better than what I asked for. The ongoing support means I can add services and make changes whenever I need to — always done quickly, always with a creative touch.

Sarah Bass — Lumina Funerals

(faqs)

Straight answers.

Where are you based?

Manchester. I work with businesses across the UK and abroad. Everything's done remotely, so where you are doesn't matter.

Is it just you?

Yes. One person, start to finish. The person you message is the person writing the code. If a project needs something I don't do, like photography, I'll say so before we start.

Why pick you over an agency?

You talk to the person doing the work. Prices are fixed and public. And you're not paying for an office, an account manager or a pitch deck.

Do I own the code and design once it's built?

Yes. Full ownership, no exceptions. Take it to another developer if you ever need to. Nothing's locked to me.

Which platforms do you build on?

Framer for business sites, Shopify for stores, and custom code when neither fits. I'll recommend the cheapest one that does the job.

What if I'm not happy?

Not happy within 7 days of kickoff? Full refund, as long as the first design hasn't been signed off.
