What Mtstudios does

mtstudios ltd. is a privately held, founder-owned UK web design, development, and digital marketing agency established in 2004 and headquartered in Sandwich, Kent. The firm operates with a small core team—founder and director Matt Webb, designer Matt Morse, WordPress specialist Christina Stanley-Webb, and Internet Marketing Manager Pascal Philippe—serving over 150 regular clients across the UK, Europe, and the USA. Its service portfolio spans subscription-based Monthly Website Packages for small and medium businesses, Bespoke Web Engineering built by engineers with 30+ years of software experience, Systems Integration across SaaS, PaaS, API, JSON, XML, TCP, and SQL environments, and SEO/Internet Marketing retainers starting from £59 per month including Google Business Profile management. E-commerce solutions are delivered via WooCommerce and as an official BigCommerce Partner since August 2013, with project fees starting from £2,000.

The business generates revenue through a hybrid of recurring monthly subscriptions (website hosting/maintenance and SEO retainers) and project-based fees for bespoke builds and e-commerce implementations. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, relying on the company's website, phone (01304 372400), email ([email protected]), and referral channels such as Business Link recommendations, augmented by an active content and SEO marketing engine. Technology partnerships include Google Partner status, BigCommerce Partner Program membership, WordPress specialization, and integrations with Stripe, SAP, Microsoft SQL Server, and .NET Framework. The firm also developed the PlumbersMate iOS application (2012) for client Baldwin Salter and has recently adopted Framer for design-forward builds, as demonstrated by the April 2026 Lifelong Strength launch.

Mtstudios is entirely bootstrapped, with no external investment or parent entity, and remains independently operated by its founder after 20+ years. Its value proposition emphasizes local Kent expertise, professional engineering credentials (BCS membership and Code of Conduct adherence), and willingness to take on technically challenging systems integration work that larger agencies decline.
