EnglishWhat is mattround.com?
Updated
mattround.com is the personal site of Matt Round, a UK-based developer and creative lead who describes himself as someone who devises, plans and builds interesting online projects. The site is essentially a career timeline rather than a blog or portfolio: it lists what he worked on year by year, from childhood programming in the 1980s to his current project, the games and humour site VOLE.wtf. If you want to know who he is, what he has built, or how to get in touch, this single page answers all three.
What you'll find on the page
The content is organised as a dated list of roles and projects, running in reverse chronological order from the present back to 1971 (the entry for 1971–1984 simply notes he "didn't exist"). Each entry pairs a year range with a short description of the work.
| Period | What he was doing |
|---|---|
| 2019 – Now | VOLE.wtf — viral games and "assorted nonsense" |
| 2015 – 2019 | Creative Lead at Distilled, steering online marketing projects for clients |
| 2013 – 2015 | UsVsTh3m — games and quizzes for a media experiment planned for 3 months that ran for 2 years |
| 2006 – 2013 | Freelance web development, online marketing and Flash games |
| 2000 – 2006 | Developer at a medium-sized web agency building sites for UK consumer brands and government |
| 1995 – 2000 | Ran his own business, mostly car-related websites |
| 1989 – 1995 | Mainframe coding, then text-based bulletin board systems |
| 1984 – 1989 | Learned programming by making games in BASIC and Z80 machine code on a ZX Spectrum |
The current focus: VOLE.wtf
The most recent entry is the one he is actively working on. VOLE.wtf is described as an attempt to "make the internet a bit more fun with viral games and assorted nonsense." If you arrived at mattround.com looking for what he is building right now, that is the project to follow.
How to contact him
The page offers three routes, all listed near the top:
- Mastodon and Bluesky — linked social profiles
- Email — constructed from his first name at the domain itself (first name @ mattround.com)
There is no contact form, newsletter signup or booking link, so these are the only channels given.
What the site is not
It is a single-page personal profile, not a company site or product page. There is no pricing, no service menu and no client enquiry process described. The value is in the timeline: it shows a continuous path from hobbyist game programming through agency and freelance work to running his own viral-content projects, which makes it useful if you want a quick sense of his background before reaching out or collaborating.
