Matt Sommers, PharmD

Founder
Frontend Developer

Before I developed content and built websites, I built a pharmacy. I opened a new location with zero acquisitions and grew it into a million-dollar-a-year business — no existing patient base, no shortcuts, just the work.

That meant wearing every hat on any given day: billing and insurance, staffing and scheduling, marketing decisions, training interns, building new workflows from scratch, and still delivering a high standard of patient care through all of it. Most of that isn’t something you learn in school — you learn it by doing it, under pressure, with real consequences.

Eventually I moved from management and clinical practice into medical writing and front end development — translating complex healthcare topics for publishers and businesses, bringing new ideas to a wider audience, and building systems. That shift is what led me here: a real interest in helping smaller, hands-on businesses build something of their own.

I bring that same operator’s mindset to every MWS project. I know what it’s like to have fifty things on your plate, and I build for people who are actually running a business, not just marketing one.

Why clients choose MWS

A real local partner

Work directly with Matt. No account managers, no handoffs, no guessing who's on your project. Just a consistent point of contact who knows your business.

Fast turnaround, transparent pricing

Most projects go live in one to two weeks. Pricing is published upfront, and your final scope is confirmed before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Healthcare background, built in professionalism

Matt holds a PharmD and has spent 12 years in practice in both management and clinical roles. Healthcare clients get a partner who already understands the vocabulary, the compliance considerations, and what patients actually need from a provider website.

A full digital presence, not just a website

MWS offers local SEO, Google Business Profile management, hosting, maintenance, and content, allowing you to work with one partner rather than managing several.

No long-term contracts

Start with a free consultation before you commit. Monthly services run month to month — you stay because the results are there, not because a contract requires it.

Produced in Minnesota. Leveraged Nationwide.

Working across platforms for years, we've enjoyed working with organizations in a variety of capacities, ranging from publishing and content development to frontend development. Here are some examples nationwide.

Investing in Carbon Removal

MWS uses Stripe for invoicing, and is purchasing carbon removal on a percentage-of-revenue basis via Frontier, an advance market commitment to invest $1B+ in permanent carbon removal between 2022 and 2030. Frontier was founded by Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, and McKinsey alongside tens of thousands of businesses using Stripe Climate.

Frontier focuses on approaches that store carbon permanently for over a thousand years — including direct air capture, enhanced rock weathering, and permanent biomass carbon removal and storage. Every dollar goes toward bringing new carbon-removal supply into existence, not competing with what already exists today.

Frontier minimizes delivery risk through rigorous upfront diligence, ongoing supplier monitoring, and a diversified portfolio of technologies across pathways.
