Matthew Wright
10 years of experience
Full stack developer with 10 years spanning frontend and backend, focused on how well a whole template is engineered to ship and scale.
About
Matthew has spent 10 years working across the full stack, which gives him a wide view of how a template is put together. He is interested in the coherence of the whole build: how the frontend connects to the CMS, how content models are structured, and whether the engineering choices would still make sense once a site has grown past its first few pages.
When he reviews a template he looks for practical engineering quality end to end. He checks how the CMS is wired, how reusable the structure is, and whether performance was considered rather than left to chance. His scores reward templates that are built to be extended by a real team, not just launched once.

- Performance
- Implementation coherence
What they look for
Matthew looks for coherent architecture from frontend to CMS, sensible content models, and engineering choices that scale. He flags templates that work once but resist being extended.
Role in the scoring process
As one of the five development reviewers, this reviewer scores the build quality of every template independently. Those five independent dev scores are averaged into the published Dev Score.
The published Overall Score is the average of the Design Score and the Dev Score. Read more on the scoring methodology page.
