Werth Design — Wilmington, Delaware
I’m Matthew Werth, a web designer in Wilmington. I build clear, mobile-friendly websites that help customers understand your services and request a quote. You work directly with me, from the first conversation to launch.
Selected work
Start with two independent concepts for local service businesses, then explore other builds. Concepts demonstrate design ideas; they are not client endorsements or measured business results.
Independent concept · Waste services
The design question: How can customers find service information and understand their next step more easily?
The approach: A service-focused homepage with customer information and a demonstration account experience.
Self-initiated preview, not affiliated with Evergreen. Account and payment screens are demonstrations; they do not process payments.

The design question: How can a homeowner understand the services available and find a clear route to an estimate?
The approach: A service-led homepage and a demonstration request flow that makes the next action easy to find.
Self-initiated preview, not affiliated with Woodrow. The request flow is a demonstration and does not send a service request.

Showing teachers what great looks like. An instructional-coaching platform with 200+ real classroom video clips, membership gating, and district seats — wrapped in the kind of QA most small sites never get.

A trading-desk tool that fits in your pocket. A mobile-first stock watchlist with an editorial-terminal look, live market data, and a build that installs like a native app.
Pricing
Websites start at $899. Tell me what customers need to do on your site. I’ll recommend a scope and give you a fixed quote before work begins. More complex features and ongoing services are priced separately.
Werth Design is Matthew Werth’s independent web design business. I work with local service businesses in Wilmington, Philadelphia and South Jersey, and take remote projects elsewhere.
Start small: websites from $899, or focused improvements to an existing site from $299. Share your current site and the action you want customers to take; I’ll recommend the next step before quoting.

What you can count on
Who it's for
If you live on phone calls, walk-ins, and word of mouth — and you're losing some of it to a website that doesn't pull its weight, or a phone that goes to voicemail after hours — that's exactly who I build for. In Wilmington, the Brandywine Valley, and beyond.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping. Put your services, service area, and a clear way to request a quote within easy reach — especially on a phone.
Built for your tradeHair, barber, dental, chiro, med spa. Online booking and automatic reminders that make scheduling and follow-up easier.
Cafés, bakeries, caterers, wineries. A fast menu, online orders, and reservations — so you win the phone-in-hand crowd.
Law, accounting, insurance, real estate. A credible site and an clear intake form that helps customers explain what they need.
Artists, authors, makers. A storefront that sells while you create — like Laurie's prints and the wine guide above.
Churches, societies, families, retiring pros. A searchable, lasting home for sermons, scholarship, and history.
What I do
Start with a clear website. Add integrations or specialist features when they serve a specific need.
Service 01
Get found. Look the part. Win the click.
Fast, modern, mobile-first sites for local businesses and creators — built for Google and built to convert, with none of the bloated page-builder weight that slows everything down.
Service 02 · Signature
Add answering and intake support when your business needs it.
An optional system for website inquiries, review requests and AI-assisted answering. We confirm your phone provider, calendar, usage needs and handoff process before agreeing on what to build.
$2,499 setup + $199/mo — or $999 to add the AI layer to the site you already have. One person accountable for all of it.
Service 03 · Signature
A lasting home for a life's work.
Sermon archives, scholarship, art catalogs, family histories, memorials. I take a lifetime of material and turn it into something searchable, beautiful, and built to outlive the next platform that disappears.
Live AI tools
The same kinds of tools I build into client sites — live, and free to play with right now. Paste a review, upload a photo, rewrite a headline. This is AI doing a real job, not a parlor trick.
Text · Reputation
Paste a customer review — even a brutal one-star — and get a calm, professional reply you can post in seconds.
Text · Copywriting
Drop in your homepage headline and get three sharper versions that lead with what your customers actually care about.
Audio · Transcription
Press play on a sermon and the transcript lights up word by word — tap any line to jump straight to it. Built for pastorjackwerth.org.
Vision · Color
Upload any photo and AI pulls its palette, then matches each color to a real tube of paint — a buy-list and mixing kit in one.
Chat · Assistant
Explore the demo assistant for service questions, indicative pricing and a way to share your project with Matthew.
Vision · iOS app
An image-recognition project for identifying trading cards from a phone photo. An example of specialist AI work beyond websites.
How it works
A free 30-minute talk about what you need and what it's worth to you. No pitch, no pressure.
A clear plan and a fixed price. You know exactly what you're getting before we start.
You see it early and often. I build fast and finish — with the QA most shops skip.
We go live, and I don't disappear. Keep me on a care plan, or take the keys — it's yours.
About
I'm Matthew Werth. By day I'm a software developer at JPMorgan Chase; the rest of the time, I'm Werth Design. I was trained as an artist — Temple University's Tyler School of Art — before I ever shipped production code, which is exactly why my sites look designed and actually work.
"I build clarity where systems are complex."
That's the whole job, really. I've built for pastors, scholars, artists, teachers, and small businesses — and engineered AI tools that actually help grow your business, not the clumsy kind of bot that turns customers away.
I work in person with people in Wilmington, Philadelphia, and South Jersey, and remotely with anyone who values craft, speed, and work that lasts.

Questions
Your main services, service area, preferred contact details and any photos or copy you already have. I’ll identify what is missing and confirm who supplies each item before work starts.
I read your message and follow up by email. If the project looks like a fit, we arrange a conversation and agree on a written scope and fixed quote. Sending the form does not commit you to a purchase.
Yes. Focused existing-site improvements start at $299, subject to your platform and access. A clearer service page or contact path may be a useful first step; the quote defines the exact work.
A clearer website can make it easier to understand your services and send an inquiry. Results also depend on your offer, traffic and follow-up. We can agree how to track inquiries; I do not promise a particular ranking or number of jobs.
You can explore working text tools and an audio transcription example on this site. For your business, we start with a specific task and confirm the integrations, running costs and human review it needs before adding AI.
Before setting up phone answering, we agree on a human handoff and test it with your provider. Transfers, alerts and availability depend on the chosen setup. An assistant is not an emergency service.
We first check whether your provider supports forwarding or the integration you need. The aim is to keep your existing number; the available options are confirmed before you commit.
You cancel, and you keep everything that's yours: the site, the domain, the code, and your phone number routing back the way it was. The AI answering service simply stops. No contracts, no exit fee, and nothing held hostage — if it isn't paying for itself, you shouldn't be paying for it.
Not even a little. You never touch code, servers, or settings — I handle all of it, in plain English. If you can send a text, you can run what I build you, and I'm one message away whenever you need a hand.
Launch websites start at $899 for up to five pages, mobile design, search basics and a contact form. Your quote confirms content responsibilities and revisions. Grow starts at $2,499; legacy archives at $1,499; focused existing-site improvements at $299. Paid services and additional integrations are priced separately. Optional phone answering is scoped separately at the starting prices shown above.
A simple static website may qualify for free hosting. Domain renewal, form usage, booking, payments and AI services can add recurring costs. Your quote separates setup costs from ongoing costs.
A Launch site usually takes 2–3 weeks once content and access are ready. Larger sites with booking, a shop or AI typically take 4–8 weeks. We confirm availability and milestones before starting.
If you want me to — continuous upkeep starts at $39/month (updates, backups, hosting help, and a human who answers), or a one-time $99 when you just need a few changes. Or I'll hand you the keys and a short guide — you own everything either way.
Yes — it's a specialty. I take a lifetime of material (sermons, scholarship, art, family history) and turn it into a searchable, beautiful archive built to outlive the next platform that shuts down.

I’ll review the mobile experience, service information and contact path, then send a short list of practical improvements. Yours to keep, whether we work together or not.
