Our Story
From a Web Business to a Growing Technology Company
Matthew Web began by helping businesses establish and improve their online presence. That work taught us practical lessons about customer needs, pricing, maintenance, recurring services and the limitations of relying too heavily on outside website platforms.
Those experiences pushed Matthew Web toward greater ownership of its technology. Custom-coded websites led naturally into software, internal systems, digital products, games, educational technology and eventually computer architecture and FPGA research.
The goal is not to become every type of technology company overnight. Matthew Web grows in stages, building the skills, revenue, intellectual property and evidence needed before advancing into more expensive or complex technology.
Company Development
How Matthew Web Keeps Growing
Each stage is intended to create knowledge and capability that can support the next.
02
Greater Technology Control
Client work showed the value of owning more of the technology stack, building custom systems and reducing dependence on restrictive outside platforms.
03
Software & Digital Products
The company expanded into custom software, reusable systems, educational digital products and the Word-first website-builder direction.
04
Games & Interactive Development
Game development became another way to build capability in programming, graphics, UI/UX, optimization, physics, testing and digital distribution.
05
CPU & FPGA Research
Custom processor architecture moved from simulation into FPGA implementation, creating a lower-cost physical validation stage before more expensive hardware work.
06
Future Computing Systems
Long-term research may expand into 64-bit processors, GPUs, memory, storage, interconnects and complete computer systems only when the earlier stages have been earned and validated.
Mission & Vision
Useful Technology. Sustainable Growth.
Our Mission
Create useful, affordable technology while progressively developing the software, products, engineering knowledge, intellectual property and organization required to build more advanced technology over time.
Our Vision
Build a diversified technology company that owns increasing portions of its software and computing stack while using outside manufacturing and specialist partners where doing so makes better economic sense.
Accessibility
Keep useful technology understandable and financially accessible where practical.
Practical Value
Projects should solve a real customer, business, educational, entertainment or technical problem.
Efficiency
Use reusable software, automation, AI-assisted workflows and modern development tools to increase output.
Validation
Test ideas at the least expensive level that can answer the important question before committing more resources.
Ownership
Progressively increase control of code, architecture, designs, data and intellectual property.
Sustainable Growth
Expand staff, facilities, hardware and business structure when the company has evidence that the next step is justified.
Founder
Adam Matthew Charest
I started Matthew Web around the idea that useful technology should not be limited to large companies with enormous budgets. Small businesses deserve professional websites, practical software and direct technical support too.
As Matthew Web grew, my interests and the company's capabilities expanded beyond website design. Today I work across web development, software, games, educational technology and computer architecture while continuing to build the business one practical stage at a time.
Matthew Web remains founder-led. When outside specialists, contractors, attorneys or advisers are needed, they can support specific areas without pretending the company already has a large staff or departments that do not yet exist.
