A proven track record
Stop Time Studio websites yield real, measurable results. Matt’s clear and elegant designs have been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business and Create magazine, and he has been quoted about web design in Business 2.0. Matt has an eye for aligning good web design with good business. His knowledge of code and search engines has worked wonders for his clients, one of which recently reported a quadrupling of business since their new website launched (Sun + Moon Catering). Another (Integrated Project Management) was found by McGraw-Hill Publishing Company via a Google search, and was offered a book deal on project management.
Here's what some clients have to say:

About Matt Mayes, President of Stop Time Studio Inc.
An avid jazz musician, Matt lends his creative spirit to every Stop Time Studio project. It was during a late-90s European music tour that he developed his first website, updating it from internet cafes and providing fans of his band with a roving tour diary complete with photos and songs. The experience piqued his interest in website programming, and as his passion for the art and technology of web design grew, he decided to make a career of it. Today he shares his experience and talent with dozens of clients to create unique, beautiful and successful website solutions.
I am getting wonderful feedback on my website from friends and clients alike—people find it clean, attractive—even pretty! —and easy to navigate. Matt is a joy to work with - flexible; responsive, professional and extremely service-oriented.

Thank you for the fabulous job you did developing and fine tuning my Web site. You have been highly professional, creative, and responsive to all my requests and questions. I started with a general idea of what I wanted the site to look like and how I wanted it to function. Thanks to your knowledge, patience, and willingness to work through every detail with me, I am truly delighted with the result! You provided me with much more than I ever imagined. The bullets made of my logo design remind me of the quote from Mies van der Rohe, 'God is in the details.'

Dear Matt:
On behalf of Federal Signal Corporation, Emergency Product's division, I want to thank you for your assistance in the development of the new website. Due to your talent and hard work we were able to successfully consolidate six websites into one - www.fedsig.com. The final result is outstanding.
The compliments and positive feedback we have received from customers have been impressive. The website now represents Federal Signal's reputation for quality.
Besides the overall appearance, some new features that have improved the site include the quick navigation (specifically the product pages and the Where to Buy section), the site search function both on the overall site as well as the Technical Support pages, and the related products found on the individual Product pages which influence crossover sales. In addition, due to your knowledge of hosting options, we are able to save significantly on hosting costs.
So, thank you again for your talent, service, and outstanding customer support. We appreciate your hard work, attention to detail, and quick response time and look forward to working on future projects with your company.
Sincerely
Jean Staack
Communications Manager
