Company

Matrix Webdesign started out in 1998 after my first HTML class. The company's page has gone over three major reconstructions over the the past three years. Matrix Webdesign originally started out as "Thumps Webdesign". In the beginning my idea's of web design were the more "eye candy" the better the site. As time has gone on, and clients have come and go I have realized that the quality and load time are the most important factors. 

My basic idea about webdesign after three years experience is this: if it is not necessary, don't use it. Useless "eye candy" can both slow down the loading of the page and disappoint the viewer. It's not a question of not being able to do some of this stuff, it's my belief that you don't need it to have an effective web site.

My feeling is that you're better off without the eye-candy, while paying more attention to detail. Such as how your site will look in different browsers, different resolutions, things like that. And of course, the most important thing, the actual content of your site.

Don't get me wrong, I like using a little spice here and there, but speed and content are the key. And when you add too much flash, you not only lose visitors, but you can even ruin the reputation of your organization.
