Matte Elsbernd web publisher. writer. photographer. 30 years experience.
The web has always attracted me as a way to express my ideas. My ideas come in many shapes and sizes. Whether it's visual, verbal or programmatical, I've found some way to explore them, whether it turned into an actual website, stopped as a small demo, or remains simply an (not so) used idea that is waiting for someone else to take up and run with.
The sites/projects below are pretty much 100% my work from idea to writing, design, development, etc. I think it's a pretty impressive list, but it's still just a sliver of the ones I've wanted to build.

The Firm List (December 17, 2019)
Goodbye Firm List
Recently I made the decision that The Firm List needed to be put gently to rest. Nearly 22 years after I started it, it had been neglected enough that it's value to the larger web was questionable. It had always been a sparetime labor of love and I just haven't had that sparetime in at least a decade.

Thanks to all those who used and contributed to it over the years, I really appreciate it.
