About Stop Time Studio Inc.
Stop Time Studio Inc. is a full-service website design and development company based in Chicago, Illinois. We offer a wide variety of services for small businesses and global corporations alike, specializing in custom content management systems (to ensure your website runs smoothly), search engine optimization (to increase the number of visitors to your site), newsletter development (plus other tricks and tools to retain your audience), and statistical analysis (to track the success of your online campaigns).
A personal touch
There's no one-size-fits-all in website design and development. President Matt Mayes works personally with each client to create a unique online presence that coordinates with an organization's established visual identity and satisfies its ongoing (often changing) needs.
Whether it's a custom-designed content management system that allows your employees to update web pages on the road, a weekly eNewsletter that boosts your product sales, or even a website hosting solution that fits your budget, we'll find a solution that works for you.
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:
"Due to your talent and hard work we were able to successfully consolidate six websites into one. The final result is outstanding.

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.
Matt created a great new design for our website with features we hadn’t even thought of. His tutorial for keeping the website up-to-date was outstanding! I highly recommend him.

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

Your talents and generosity have helped us realize our dream of having a website that tells our story in a way that is clear, compelling and very appealing to the eye. I am confident that our donors and partners will be as impressed as we are - and even more motivated to continue to support CommunityHealth. And this is just the beginning...for this will be such an effective recruitment tool for future friends who will hopefully choose to make a difference in furthering our mission as volunteers, staff, donors, partners and advocates.
Many, many thanks!

I just wanted to let you know that I have already made a couple of changes to the site, for instance posting a new job position, and it has been very easy and simple to do. Thanks for your terrific counsel!
