Who runs ELATED?
ELATED has two founder members - Matt Doyle and Simon Meek. We've been running this site since 1997. During most of that time we've been running a web design arm concurrently with the "free stuff" online areas.
If you'd like to ask us questions, please feel free to come to the ELATED forums.

Matt Doyle
Matt has been working hard with computers since he got his hands on a rusty old build-it-yourself box back in 1978. His varied career has seen him in the roles of IT management, Internet troubleshooting, C programming and graphic design. In 1994 he dived wholeheartedly into the Internet world, and has since been producing websites, graphic work and code for many prestigious and happy clients.
At ELATED, Matt's client work has focused on spot graphics (including 3-D work), coding, site hosting issues and site promotion.
Matt looks after the techy side of www.elated.com and concentrates on much of the site's marketing and promotion, in between going for walks, snowboarding and bush regeneration (also known as "fixing the countryside"). He lives in Sydney's Northern Beaches with his wife and son.
He also somehow finds time to update his blogs now and again: The Good Oil, which covers the ups and downs of living in Australia, and Reality Distortion, which is all about using (and abusing) Macs day-to-day.
Simon Meek
Simon has been working as a graphic designer since 1992, starting his career as in-house DTP at a local record company. He has worked for a new media company producing cd-roms and touchscreen kiosks, and a soho (London) -based web design company. He has produced work for many white collar clients and is as happy with print as he is the internet.
With ELATED, Simon concentrates on the conceptual work for clients, as well as graphic design and much of the code. Largely responsible for the implementation of the much loved Pagekits, he is currently attempting to make his Mac perform the awesome task of making coffee.
