Wait…your website layout can change?
Many business owners launch a website and think it will keep working the same way forever. But website platforms update, integrations change, and layouts can shift over time. Without regular monitoring, small issues can affect how your website looks and functions.
In this short post, I explain why websites benefit from ongoing monitoring and thoughtful updates.

About Grassroots Creative Company
Website design backed by real marketing experience.
Hi, I’m Mel, Website Designer & Marketer.
I’m also the owner of Grassroots Creative Company, a website design studio based in Chardon, Ohio.
I bring more than 18 years of marketing, design, and digital communication experience into every website project. That means I’m looking beyond how your site looks to how clearly it communicates, how people move through it, and how it supports your business as a whole.
Rooted in marketing, designed with purpose.
- Before I started designing websites, I spent years working in marketing. That background still shapes how I approach every project.
- I’m not looking at your website as a collection of pages. I’m thinking about what your business needs to communicate, what your customers need to understand, and how the site fits into your overall marketing.
- Design matters, but it should also clarify your message, make your website easier to use, and make your business easier to trust.
"Mel was so easy to work with and very creative. We loved her vision and ideas. How she brought our website up to date was simply amazing.
— ANDREA MURPHY, Director of Operations

Working with Melonie for a business website overhaul was an absolute dream.
She inherently understood what I was looking for from the moment the project started and I am thrilled with the outcome. She is friendly, professional and organized and the process was streamlined and easy. I highly recommend her talented services and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Built on years of marketing experience.
I started my career in marketing in 2008, working across agency and higher education environments before launching Grassroots Creative Company in 2018.
Along the way, I earned a master’s degree in Marketing & Communication and built experience across strategy, content, design, digital marketing, and web.
Grassroots brings all of that together. It gives small businesses access to the kind of marketing and website expertise they may not need on staff full time, but can benefit from when it matters most.

"Melonie was an absolute delight to work with!! She is professional and personable - working with Mel is like working with a good friend. She truly cares about her clients, their businesses, and their visions. Her creativity, attention to detail, and phenomenal work ethic resulted in the website of my dreams. I have received so much positive feedback about the site, from how professional + polished it looks to how easy it is to scroll through (via cell or computer)."
