Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Yes, I understand this is an investment, and stress-free automated payment plans are available. I'm also happy to work something out individually that works best for you and your budget.
Are payment plans available?
Invoices are emailed, and payments can be made online.
How does payment work?
Yes. Prices do NOT include annual domain and hosting fees. Those are separate and can be found on the platform websites here: Showit and Wix. I typically make a plan recommendation as we discuss your project. Wix typically includes a free domain for the first year so no need to purchase one elsewhere {plus you'll have everything in one spot}.
Are there additional fees?
Are your rates negotiable?
No, my rates are based on my experience, skillset, quality of work, and time. This is an investment in your business for those that are ready to grow, which is why I only work with clients who are ready, committed, and all in.
I use both Showit and Wix. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of great website builders out there, but Showit and Wix are the easiest platform for clients to use. I want them to be comfortable so they can confidently make minor updates (if they'd like) once their website launches.
What platforms do you use?
Easy and fun {at least I try to make it that way}! In the beginning, it’s a lot of information collecting on your end; however, this makes for a smoother and faster turnaround.
What's your process like?
Yes. You can get started to book with me here.
Are you booking new clients?
Since I only work with a handful of clients at a time, it varies. But to give you an idea, here are my estimated times for each package:
Logo & Brand: 3-4 wks
Web Design (up to 5 pgs): 5-7 wks
Both together: 8-10 wks
How long does it take?
I get that stuff happens {as a parent, I can relate!}, and I’m willing to reschedule the best I can around my other clients. Keep in mind, they'll have priority for the time booked so I can stay on schedule. If you can, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance, and we'll go from there. If it's a reoccurring issue, there's a rebooking fee. It's best to make sure the timing is right so you can be all in and make this a priority!
What if I have to reschedule/cancel?
I do! Clients have the choice of deciding whether or not they would like to manage their site once it’s live. I’ll prep you with training resources so you know the basics, and if you don't have the time, I can take back the reins and bill you at my hourly rate.
Do you offer support after?
- Send a Welcome Guide with clear instructions on how to prepare text and images and where to upload it.
- Design a professional website with inspiring words based on your goals, style, and target audience.
- Strategically craft all content to create a meaningful online experience for your clients.
- Provide one-on-one VIP support every step of the way during your web design project.
- Offer additional services if you need help managing your new website once it launches.
- Make sure the timing is right so you can fully commit to the project and deadlines.
- Read through the contract in full and reach out with questions if you have them before signing.
- Secure professional photos from a brand photographer in advance.
- Complete all the action items in the Welcome Guide and Content Planner.
- Keep tabs on your inbox for updates, and email any feedback + edits within 2 days.

"I recently worked with Melonie of Grassroots Creative Company and hired her to completely redo my website for my cookie shop, D is for Delicious. I couldn't be happier! She spent time getting to know me, my vibe, and what was important to me so she could help communicate that through the website. Not only is my new website bright and cheerful, but it's also very user-friendly and all-inclusive. I highly recommend Melonie and her services. She took a very daunting task and made it a super fun experience. Thanks Melonie!"

—Denise Hagan, D is for Delicious
"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).
"I received business inquiries through the new website within 24 hours of it going live!"
—Dr. Lori Ana Valentin, Radiant Journey, LLC
"The proof is in the pudding. Just check out any site she has created and updated. Amazing work. Very professional from the start. If you are looking for accountability through the entire process from start to finish (because you do have to complete tasks no matter who you are working with), accountability is there and set up very professionally. Mel is very easy to work with and if you have the pleasure of bringing her on board with your website projects, you will not be disappointed."

"Melonie was so easy to work with and the end result is great! It is nice because she gives you the option of learning how to update the website yourself or will continue to work with you to update the page as necessary (the option I choose)! I would highly recommend Grassroots Creative Company for any website needs!"

"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. It was fantastic that she could already work with what we had to make it better. We can't wait to share it with everyone online. I would highly recommend Grassroots and Mel to anyone who needs help with a website!"
"We loved her vision and ideas. How she brought our website up to date was simply amazing."
—Andrea Murphy, Solid Rock on Which We Stand
"Our team worked with Grassroots Creative Company designing and refining our website for our new $2.3 million shelter facility. Melonie was a 'dream' to work with in the conceptual phase and design work. The Board of Trustees as well as our team are so excited about our end product. From persons needing assistance and services to recognition of our donors, the new website design heralds our new facility! I couldn’t be more pleased with the work at a reasonable price."
"I couldn’t be more pleased with the work at a reasonable price."
—Charlotte Rehmert, Family Abuse Shelter of miami county
"Grassroots Creative Co made updating our website a breeze! Melonie took our needs and built a website that far exceeded our expectation. Her experience and suggestions have made our website a tool to use instead of something we avoid referring people to. I definitely recommend giving her a call!"
