We’re a small team of freelance web designers and developers based in Rochester, New York.

510 Clinton Square Rochester, NY 14604 hello@madebymatthews.com

Hi! I'm Matt Olpinski — after 10 years of freelancing, dozens of successful projects, and hundreds of inquiries from clients, I decided to let my web design and development business grow beyond myself.

In 2018, I created Matthew's Design Co. in an effort to serve more clients and execute larger projects without sacrificing the expertise my clients value and the personal attention they've come to expect.

You'll work directly with me and my small, hand-picked team of experts to make sure your project is executed on time, on budget, and with world-class quality.

We partner with our clients remotely and expand our team as needed to bring their projects to life.

Choosing a Company

Why hire us?

When deciding who to hire for your next web project, we know you have endless options to choose from. So why hire us?

Because we’re focused on one thing: helping you achieve tangible business outcomes for your users and customers through world-class design and code.

For over 10 years, we’ve partnered with the smallest startups and the world's biggest brands to create beautiful user experiences that deliver results — all at a competitive price.

👉 We’re the perfect partners if you need a company that’s more experienced and reliable than a freelancer, but less rigid and expensive than a traditional agency.

We’re strategic thinkers who love solving complex problems and finding creative ways to help your business grow. We’ll get your project done right — the first time.

What to Expect

Here's what to expect when hiring us for your project

We've make sure our clients have the best possible experience when working with us.

Honesty & Integrity

We believe this is one of our greatest differentiators. If there’s a way we can save your business money, we’ll suggest it. If there’s a feature we know you don’t need, we won’t try to capitalize on it. We’re honest with our clients and only want what’s best for your business.

Quality & Excellence

We don’t settle for anything less than the best, no matter who works on your project. We’ve got the skills and experience to deliver world-class quality, and that’s what each of our clients deserves. We strive for excellence from our first interaction to the day your project launches.

Effective Communication

We know that frequent and effective communication is the cornerstone of every successful project, especially when you’re working with someone remotely. We pride ourselves in making sure you’re involved in our process every step of the way.

Clear Expectations

There’s nothing worse than realizing halfway through a project that you’re executing against the wrong goals or building the wrong thing because of a communication breakdown. We strive to be explicit and set clear expectations with our clients every step of the way.

Reliable Delivery

Our top priority is making sure your project is delivered on time, on budget, and at the highest level of quality. We want to keep your business moving in the right direction with as little friction as possible.

Flexible Process

Since we don't have the traditional infrastructure of a design agency, we can (within reason) adapt our process to the needs of your project. We'll do everything we can to work with you in the most efficient and effective way possible.
