Maya Standard Maya Standard Web Development

Built different.
On purpose.

Maya Standard is a solo web design shop based in Connecticut. No templates. No page builders. No lock-in. Just some good old fashion code and your own server.

We build sites the right way even when it's slower.

Most agencies use WordPress, Squarespace, or some bloated SaaS builder. That means your site loads slowly, your hosting is shared with thousands of strangers, and you're paying monthly fees forever just to keep the lights on.

We do it differently. Every site is good old fashioned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or a lean framework where the project actually warrants it. Your hosting lives on a private VPS: your resources, your server, your files.

When we hand off a project, you own the code outright. No subscriptions. No vendor dependency. No getting held hostage.

Zero Template Policy
Every site is written from scratch. Your design won't look like 50,000 other businesses using the same theme.
No Lock-In Hosting
Your site lives on infrastructure you control. Switch hosts, take the files, or let us manage it. Your call.
Performance by Default
Static builds and lean code means 95+ Lighthouse scores without tuning plugins or buying speed add-ons.
Direct Access Always
You work directly with the developer. No account managers, no ticket queues, no waiting three days for a callback.

The Process

From quote to launch

Straightforward. No surprises mid-build, no scope creep ambushes.

01
Discovery Call
We talk about your business, your goals, and what the site needs to do. Takes about 30 minutes. You leave with a layout strategy and ballpark quote, same day.
02
Design Agreement
We formalize scope, timeline, and payment. You get a written breakdown of every page and feature included. No hidden line items added later.
03
Build & Deploy
We build your site, set up your server (if hosting with us), and run through QA. You get a staging link to review before we go live.
04
Launch & Support
Site goes live. You get 30 days of post-launch support included. After that, ongoing support is available à la carte or as part of a managed hosting plan.

Rather than offering empty guarantees, Matt focuses on building resilient systems that are actively managed to stay ahead of the curve.

His goal is simple: to build websites that work as hard as the people running the business.
