We're a small but perfectly formed web design agency, based in beautiful Bath.
Curiously creative digital.
Making great websites is what gets us out of bed in the mornings. Websites that look beautiful, are a pleasure to use and make a real difference to our clients. To achieve it, we take pleasure in the nitty gritty, investing the time to find out exactly what makes you special to your customers, then bringing it to life online.
Meet the team
Matt Powell
Founder / Creative Director
As a passionate advocate of good design in all its forms, Matt heads up our creative team. In his effort to get right to the heart of our clients’ businesses, his levels of curiosity rival that of Holmes in his prime. Just without the deerstalker.
Cole Henley
Founder / Technical Director
A voice of authority on development standards, responsive design and accessibility. Cole’s background lends itself to creative and user-friendly work. When he’s not at Mud, he can be found speaking at industry conferences and lecturing at Greenwich University.
Meg West
Studio Manager
Meg brings her impeccable organisation skills to Mud, along with her not inconsiderable creative thinking and client services abilities. Meg supports Manchester Utd, which almost meant she was excluded from the recruitment process. But we were so impressed with her that Matt was (reluctantly) willing to let this go.
Nina Sellars
Client Support Partner
Nina is our first line of support for all our existing clients. Having worked in technical support prior to joining Mud, Nina provides a helpful and practical voice (and has to field all the cold calls, sorry Nina!)
Lieve Vogels
Project Manager
Diligent and well organised, Lieve brings several years of experience to our PM team delivering technically complex and creative projects. Always a friendly voice, she has a wealth of experience delivering projects for a diverse range of clients, Lieve is also the finest baker at Mud (possibly the finest in the South West).
Sophie Dunn-Nail
Project Manager
Pragmatic, experienced and with a fine attention to detail, Sophie has delivered complex, technically challenging digital projects throughout her career. When not pushing our projects through, you'll find Sophie looking after her two young children or learning French.
Becca Sarjeant
UX / UI Designer
A multi-faceted designer, Becca’s steadfast approach brings added rigour, efficiency and creativity to the Mud team. Her varied career to date has seen her produce vibrant creative work for a bunch of household names and complex UX projects for a multitude of different clients. She’s also the ace illustrator in the pack (albeit with fierce competition with Cole).
Dave Maxwell-Wood
Developer
Dave the First is a designer-developer and all round good egg. He loves implementing designs, adding his own spin and turning out beautiful, super-efficient websites. A shy soul, Dave doesn’t want us to mention that he likes cooking and badminton.
Jake Wade
Developer
An expert in accessible, user friendly interface development, Jake has an all round coding skillset that makes most people blush. A craftsman in his spare time, Jake is also the official holder of the title “Nicest person at Mud”. Sorry Meg.
Matt McAllen
Developer
With a background in design, and having worked for a well known fashion house as a Creative Technologist, Matt brings an adaptable and experiential creative zeal to our development team. You’ll often see Matt heading down the M5 to catch some waves on the Devon coast – he’s perfected the surfer haircut, the surfing itself… we’ll wait and see.
George Lane
Developer
Studious and thoughtful, George brings a calm PHPresence to our development team. With deep expertise and a methodical approach, he helps us to make easy to use, easy to maintain websites.
Jon McLean
Developer
Jon brings enthusiasm and attention to detail to our development team, having retrained as a developer following a varied career working for the PRS, as an English teacher in Indonesia and as a designer. All of that experience will come in especially handy when we have to design a website for the Indonesian Music Rights Organisation (we’re still waiting on that phonecall).
