About

/Peripheral Sight, LLC

Does your small business website look just like your competitor’s, or worse?

Most small businesses – especially new ones and those who offer services – have nearly identical websites. There’s no custom functionality and nothing that impresses visitors with the professionalism of the company. While there’s a ton of low-cost website solutions available for the entrepreneur these days, they all tend to give you a cookie-cutter website.

Have you been struggling to get your website to do and look exactly as you want it?

In today’s business landscape, outsourcing work that’s outside of your core focus just makes good sense. But even after you make the decision to get a web consultant, it can be tough – there’s many web contractors available, but a lot of them tend to disappear when things get difficult or they simply can’t fulfill the vision they signed up for. I know this well because I regularly do project rescues to clean up the messes such service providers leave behind.

Are you ready to have a consultant handle your small business website?

Peripheral Sight, LLC is your answer. This is a one-man show, not an agency with massive overhead. I’m a senior developer with well over a decade of experience and a continued, reliable service record with many of the same clients all the way back to 2008. Every day, I build out custom interfaces and functionality at low cost with a rapid turnaround.

You can have a unique, complex small business website with advanced functionality.

More About Matthew Catlett

I offer web consulting services to companies across the United States, with clients in New Jersey, New Mexico, and California. I started in the web industry all the way back in 2000, and have been a consultant since 2008. My favorite projects involve API integration and completely custom builds, but I’d love to help you with anything you need assistance with.

A father and husband in northeast Washington, I’ve also been a blogger about spirituality since 2013. Feel free to check it out: programminglife.net.

There’s a fundamental difference between a web development provider and a web consultant. There comes a point when you need more than simple capability: you need experience and professionalism. Thats where I come in.

The ideal engineer is a composite. He is not a scientist, he is not a mathematician, he is not a sociologist, or a writer; but he may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these disciplines in solving engineering problems.

Services

/Peripheral Sight, LLC

Peripheral Sight, LLC establishes new businesses online and supports small businesses.

I like to think of myself as the guy that gets startups from their initial vision to the point that they need to have in-house web staff. Some clients never outgrow me because their operations never need more support than I can provide, though, so I have some clients that have been with me for years and years. Either way, I provide expert, experienced web development for companies who don’t need a full-time web developer on-staff.

I currently serve clients in the healthcare and financial industries, provide code monkey support to several web designers, and maintain a wide variety of companies’ web presences.

This is the true joy in life – being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world did not devote itself to making you happy.

TESTIMONIALS

Matthew has been doing development work for TinyFrog Technologies (tinyfrog.com) for about 5 years and he has been a huge asset for our company in terms of custom development for dozens of our clients. Unlike many developers he not only is highly skilled but also extremely organized and responsive which is just as important as the skills.
Mikel Bruce, Owner, TinyFrog Technologies
I have had the good fortune of working with Matthew for close to a year. I originally hired Matthew to help me with some basic back-end development. However, over the last few months, Matthew has proven to be an essential member of my extended team, not just an outside contractor. He has helped me deal with vendors, solve tricky API problems, and develop and implement cyber-security measures for my e-commerce operation. He is very responsive and proactive. In summary, I fully endorse Matthew as a customer-oriented full-stack developer.
Adrian Vilalta, PhD, MyVytalics Co-Founder
We've been using Matthew on an on-demand basis for over 6 months. His work is excellent, he follows up always, which is very rare. He is always enthusiastic and has a positive attitude. The best thing about Matthew is his willingness to dig into an assignment and sort out the issues and find a fast path to completion. Highly recommend Matthew to anyone needed web development. You won't regret it.
Roger Moyers, President, Blue Sage Software
I have had the pleasure of working with Matt for almost 3 years now. I could never imagine the product development we have had without him. His superior programming skills are matched with his dynamite personalitymaking him one of the best people to work with. I am looking forward to the many more projects working with him.
Melody Lugo Ryan, Marketing and Communications, Financial Computer Services
To put it simply, Matt rocks. His unique combination of development skills, attention to detail, communication skills, speed, and conciseness, make for a consistently great customer experience.
Kayvan Sullins, CEO, Sullins Connector Solutions
. . . he is truly a team player who is wonderful interacting directly with my clients, or is equally content staying behind-the-scenes; ego-lessly taking art direction; and in a leadership capacity, making thoughtful recommendations that are spot-on every time.
Mollie Kellogg, Mollie Kellogg Design
I have worked with many developers in the past, I must say that Matt does not fit the stereotypical "dev guy", except his tendency to stay focused in his code dungeon. Matt is well spoken, writes well and communicates in a manner that allows non technical individuals to easily understand complex ideas. Matt is extremely valuable to the organization, without his expertise we would certainly struggle with complex web projects. Thanks Matt for being an asset to the team!
David Bareo, Director of Sales and Marketing, 5-E, Inc.
Matt takes on any job with gusto. He is meticulous, thorough in communicating concepts not easily accessible to non-tech people, and a pleasure to work with.
Taura Costidis, Graphic Designer, The Holly Company & Finance New Mexico
Matt has been working with me for about two months on some upgrades to our website. I am not tech savvy so I rely on him to convert my requests into reality. He does this very promptly, with good grace and humor and has done an outstanding job working through my requests. He tells me how long items will take and keeps me up to speed on his progress. I would highly recommend Matt.
Sheila Walker, Independent Contractor and Volunteer at Non profit organizations
Matt is always so good at reading between the lines when i attempt to articulate my requirements. thank-you for all your support.
Christine Campbell, Sullins Connector Solutions
Matt is consistently a rockstar!
Amie Parcinski, eDisabilityQuotes
The service has been more than "good". It's been excellent. Matt, you're terrific! Thank you very much!
Thu Nguyen, Project Coordinator, Tier 1 Healthcare Education and Research, Inc.
Prompt, efficient and friendly service! Thanks bunches Matt!
