Marketing strategy, design, and technical expertise brought together in one clear, organized website process.
A new website project is for businesses that need more than a few updates to what already exists. Whether you’re building your first professional site or starting over, I’ll plan, design, and build the website from the ground up.
You bring your knowledge of the business, website text, and final photos. I bring the marketing, design, and technical know-how to turn it into a site that works together.
Grassroots Creative Company is a website design studio based in Chardon, Ohio, creating custom websites for established small businesses throughout Northeast Ohio and remotely.
Strategic Planning
Page structure, customer path, calls to action, and what needs to go where.
Custom Design
A website designed around your content, photography, business, and goals.
Content Refinement
You provide the content. I organize and refine it for the website.
Website platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and Showit make it possible to build a website yourself. They don’t remove the time it takes to plan content, structure pages, handle SEO, build, troubleshoot, test, launch, fix, and maintain it. That work takes a lot of time and still has to be handled by someone, whether that’s you, an employee who might be good with tech, or a trained specialist.
Mobile + Technical Build
Responsive layouts, forms, links, integrations, and the technical details that make the site work.
SEO Foundations
Headings, page titles, image details, and other foundational on-page SEO.
Testing + Launch
Desktop and mobile testing, forms and links, final QA, and launch support.
WHY HIRE IT OUT
Think of me as an extension of your team for the website, without the ongoing cost of another employee.
I bring 18+ years of marketing experience along with the design, technical know-how, and project management needed to pull it all together.
Plus content refinement, mobile optimization, testing, and launch support.
These packages are designed for established small businesses that are ready to invest in a professionally planned and built website. Every package includes the planning, design, responsive build, SEO foundations, testing, and launch support outlined above.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Melonie on her outstanding masterpiece of a website she created for my practice.
She was SO organized, professional, friendly, practical, creative, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her. She did research and pulled brilliant ideas together. Thank you Melonie! Couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out!

Melonie was so sweet and easy to work with. Her business setup is easy to communicate website information and changes.
She was great at keeping me updated and listened to what I wanted my website feel and look like. I have already recommended her to several other business owners.
— CANDICE ZINNER, SALT CAVE & SPA Owner
Amazing work. Very professional from the start. If you are looking for accountability through the entire process from start to finish...
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.
— Dave Nelson, Physical Therapist & Podcaster
Every website project follows a clear process so you know what’s happening, what I need from you, and what comes next.
Have your website text and
photos ready, then submit your project for review.
Once your project is booked, I plan, design, and build the website with clear opportunities for feedback.
