Bringing Big Thinking to the Back End: Welcoming Matt Bliss

If you’ve ever wrestled with the complexities of a website build, juggled a web migration, or tried to untangle a particularly stubborn CMS issue, chances are Matt Bliss has already solved it - probably a thousand times, while drinking his first coffee of the day.

Bolstering our digital team as Technical Director, Matt joins us as more than a developer. He’s a seasoned Umbraco expert, an advocate for seamless digital experiences, and the kind of problem-solver that doesn’t just find fixes for all things digital, but makes sure they’re better, faster and future-proof.

Having contributed directly to Umbraco’s evolution and spoken at events hosted by the platform to share his insights, Matt is as embedded in the ecosystem as it gets.

The perfect fit

 

Matt first discovered Umbraco in 2009, and it quickly became his CMS of choice. Not just for its flexibility, but for how it enables developers to build robust, scalable and high-performing websites without unnecessary complexity.

Over the years, Matt’s mastered every iteration - from Version 7 to the latest Version 15 - becoming an Umbraco Certified Master and an integral voice in the community. Today, he sits on two of Umbraco’s advisory boards, shaping the platform’s future while ensuring it continues to serve real-world business needs.

For Matt, development means finding elegant and uncomplicated ways to solve complex problems. His approach is rooted in writing clean, reusable code that optimises performance without adding bloat.

With Umbraco as his go-to framework, Matt ensures the technology works with us, not against us, allowing for seamless integrations, long-term scalability and frictionless content management.


“I’m excited to join a team with such strong design, UX and marketing expertise coupled with an established and proven commitment to website development as an Umbraco Platinum Partner. Joining a team that offers a complete range of competencies is an incredibly exciting prospect and opportunity.”

Smarter solutions

With Matt’s arrival enhancing our technical capabilities, the synergy between our development, design and digital strategy teams couldn’t be stronger. We’re pushing forward to deliver websites that not only look incredible, but perform flawlessly as well, with an even stronger digital team that provides end-to-end solutions for all web projects and needs.
