About
Hi, I'm Matthew. I build websites by hand.
Click Artisans is a web design, SEO and hosting agency. I make websites by hand and look after them afterwards, so the person who builds your site is the person who answers the phone.
My story
Self-taught, and still learning.
I'm Matthew Barber, and I taught myself HTML and CSS back in the early 2000s. I've never stopped learning since. Over the years I picked up Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign for design, then WordPress, Shopify and OpenCart for building and running online shops and sites.
Most of what I know came from trial and error: building things, breaking them, and working out how to do them better next time. Click Artisans is the result of those years of progress, and it's why I'm happy to learn whatever a project needs.

How I work
Three ideas we build around.
Handmade
Every site is designed around the business it represents. No recycled templates and no bloat.
Found
A beautiful site nobody finds is a waste. Search visibility is part of the build, not an afterthought.
Honest
Clear fixed prices, plain English and no promises we can't keep. I'd rather under-promise and deliver.
One team
Design, SEO and hosting under one roof.
Most businesses juggle a designer, an SEO and a hosting company, and each blames the other when something breaks. With us it's one team and one monthly bill, so nothing falls between the gaps.
Where we work
Local roots, global reach.
I'm based in Winter Garden, Florida and love working with local businesses face to face. Most of my work happens online, so I work with English-speaking businesses all over the world by video call and email. Distance has never been a problem.
