Matthew Hillman brings over 25 years of hands-on experience in software engineering, web development, and digital strategy. Having worked with a wide range of clients across the UK and Europe — from startups to established enterprises — Matthew has a deep understanding of what it takes to thrive online in a fast-changing digital landscape.
His journey began in the early days of the internet, building custom-coded systems for businesses before drag-and-drop builders even existed. Since then, he’s remained at the forefront of technology, embracing modern frameworks, UX principles, SEO practices, and performance-driven development to deliver real results.

He is passionate about helping small and medium-sized businesses — especially those rooted in the local Isle of Wight community — carve out a powerful digital presence without the bloated agency price tag.
As the founder of IOW WebCraft, Matthew leads every project with a personal commitment to quality, transparency, and long-term support. His mission is simple: to make great websites accessible to all, and to ensure that every client, no matter their size, feels empowered in the online space.
“A great website isn’t just about looks – it’s about purpose, clarity, and trust. That’s what I build into every project.”
