My name is Matthew Fass and I’m also known as “Max”. I am a Kingston, NY-based <a> to <z> web developer who has been creating websites since 1997. In fact, I once met Marc Andreessen, the originator of the first widely used web browser called Netscape Mosaic when I was working for a CD-ROM development company back in the late 90’s in San Francisco. Yep, I’ve been doing it that long!

Not only do I know WordPress development, the Toolset plugins and internet marketing inside and out, I am also proficient with:

Over my 20+ year career of developing websites, I have probably created at least 40 sites. Here is a sampling of some of my favorites:

• Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat – Yoga retreat center in the Bahamas with year round programming.
• Women Together – An Eileen Fisher initiative to bring women together online and in person to promote mindfulness.
• Car Pal – Lead generation site for a personalized car buying and leasing company
• Jewish Heritage Travel – Travel website featuring educational trips around the world
• Hazon – Jewish leadership training and educational organization
• Barbara Ensor – Quirky artist’s blog and showcase
• Laura Ljungkvist – Children’s book illustrator showcase
• Brassroots Festival – Annual brass band festival promotion and ticketing

What else? As I mentioned above, I play accordion with several groups including Max’s New Hat and Heartstrings Hot Club and help produce events including the Brassroots Festival at Seed Song Farm in Kingston, the NYC Village Halloween Parade and Sinterklaas in Kingston and Rhinebeck. And just happened to have built those websites as well.

AND! When I was 19, I rode my bicycle with a friend from Rochester, NY to Santa Barbara, CA over the course of 3 months. We used paper maps. Yes, paper maps back in the day.
