"I know Matt’s work as my former coworker in Miami University’s Center for the Enhancement of Learning, Teaching, and University Assessment. Matt developed a database for managing submissions and reviews for the Center’s peer-reviewed Journal on Excellence on College Teaching and also manages the subscription databases for the three peer-reviewed journals that Miami University publishes. I always can be sure that whatever technology task Matt takes on for me will be completed efficiently, accurately, and with the utmost attention to detail. I give Mevins Consulting my very highest recommendation."

“I have known Matt for three years as an associate at the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Miami University and the Lilly Conference on College Teaching and as my Webmaster for nearly a year. He completely restructured my previous site and manages two business sites. Matt is an extremely efficient, effective, knowledgeable, and meticulous designer, plus responsive tech consultant. He also promptly updates my sites upon request. He has a great sense of humor and is fun as a collaborator. I highly recommend Matt as a Web designer, without reservation, who provides affordable rates for any professional.”

"Mevins Consulting has made a satisfied customer out of me! I am a very exacting person yet, at no time during the development of my site, did Mevins Consulting make me feel that I was being “difficult” or “demanding”. The end product is professional and clean. The price spectacular. I will definitely use Mevins Consulting for my future web design needs."

"Knowing Matt both as a professional and as a friend, I can say that he upholds the best ideals a businessman can offer. He strives for professionalism, reliability, and fair pricing. That being the case, I have hosted both of my sites with him since before the days of Mevins Consulting. I have experienced nothing but solid and reliable service, devotion to supplying the right tools, and concern for the needs of the client. You can take comfort in the job being done right with Mevins."
