Werth Design — Wilmington, Delaware
I'm Matthew Werth. I put AI to work for local businesses — answering after-hours calls, booking jobs, and clearing the busywork — on fast, modern websites that get you found. The kind of AI that wins customers, not the clumsy bot that turns them away.
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, landscaping, auto. Stop sending after-hours calls to voicemail — book the job while you're still on the last one.
Hair, barber, dental, chiro, med spa. Online booking and automatic reminders that keep the chairs full and cut the no-shows.
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 AI intake that books the clients worth your time.
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.
Selected work
Bringing in customers, selling the work, filling the calendar, keeping a legacy whole — these are real, live sites doing real jobs for the people who own them. A handful of recent ones; tap any to see it for yourself.
Visit site
A lifetime in the pulpit, made searchable. 641 expository sermons with streaming audio, AI word-synced transcripts you can tap to seek, playlists, and inline scripture. A life's work, kept whole.
Visit site
Fifty years of biblical scholarship, rescued from a dying format. A 1990s frameset rebuilt into a fast, responsive archive of 154 books and papers — readable on any device, indexed for the next generation.
Visit site
An artist's catalog that sells while she paints. A botanical-and-landscape print shop with a gallery, her story, and a clean path to buy — built so the art comes first and the buying is easy.
Visit site
A passion turned into a product. A 76-winery travel directory engineered as an SEO funnel — discovery, maps, and a clear path to buy the guidebook behind it.
Visit site
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.
Visit site
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.
What I do
Most studios either design pretty things that don't work, or build working things that look terrible. I do both — and I sweat the part that comes after launch.
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 · In demand
AI that wins customers — not the bot that drives them off.
An assistant that answers every call and books the job at 2 a.m. Automations that handle intake, scheduling, and follow-up so nothing slips. The kind of AI that works like your best employee — never the clumsy chatbot that frustrates people and sends them to a competitor.
Proof, not hype: a 98.8%-accurate recognition model, ML energy forecasting, and an automated transcription pipeline — all shipped.
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.

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
That's the whole point. A fast site that ranks on Google, plus an assistant that answers and books every lead — even after hours — means fewer missed calls and more booked jobs. I'd rather build you something that pays for itself than something that just looks nice.
Real AI. I've shipped an image-recognition model at 98.8% accuracy and an automated transcription pipeline. For your business that usually means an assistant trained on your services that answers customers and books appointments, an automation that handles intake or follow-up, or an honest audit of where AI actually pays off — and where it doesn't.
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 sites start at $899, and a site that sells or books with an AI chat assistant included starts at $2,499. Legacy and memorial sites start at $499, and improving an existing site (SEO, competitor analysis, AI) starts at $299. Every project gets a fixed price up front — no surprises.
Yes. Many of my sites run on GitHub Pages and similar static hosting, which costs $0/month. Usually your only ongoing cost is a domain name — about $12–20 a year.
A Launch site is usually 2–3 weeks. Larger sites with booking, a shop, or AI run 4–8 weeks. I work fast and finish.
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.
Free · no obligation
I'll send you a free, plain-English audit — speed, mobile, Google ranking, and the exact spots where your site is quietly turning customers away. Yours to keep, whether we work together or not.
Usually back to you within a day.

Whether it's a site that gets you more customers, an AI assistant that saves you hours, or a home for a life's work — I'd like to hear about it. I read every message myself.
