When a template just isn't cutting it.
Custom builds & redesigns for your business.
YOUR Content
Every business is unique and the design is ultimately based on your content. This is to ensure that your content is:
-
Displayed well
-
Easily digestible to visitors
-
Creating a good user experience
-
Simplifying future site management while protecting the integrity of the site's design.
YOUR Branding
Branding is partly your logo and colors, but also fonts, images, and the feeling your website portrays to those who visit.
Creating consistency throughout the entire site to get your message and offerings across 3-dimensionally.
YOUR Goals
Goals also determine the ultimate design of your site. Are your products front and center, or is it to be immersive and create an experience? Maybe it's solving a problem and leading site visitors to read more, ultimately clicking to purchase, sign-up, or contact you. Layout and design are based on your site's ultimate goals.

HOW IT Works
It's important to know that each website build, regardless of your industry, follows a predictable path.
1. Requirements Gathering
2. Quote
3. Payment
4. Framework & Design/Build
5. Revisions & Edits
6. Mobile Formatting
7. Site Testing
8. Launch
What's The Most Important Part of the Build?
Although every aspect is essential, the most critical element is the Requirement Gathering and knowing what you need before we ever get started building your site. Plus, knowing the details up-front means that you get the website you want and no surprises or separate price-quotes that happen mid-build.
Once you complete the Website Application, I will ask plenty of questions to get a clear understanding of what you need before providing a quote for the job.
THE RESULT?
Happy clients who LOVE their website!
Requirement Gathering!

Website Projects
Do you only build Wix sites? Do you also work in other platforms, such as Wordpress, Squarespace, or Weebly?
It's very important to me to be highly-niched and as proficient as possible when working for my clients.
Where do I start?
The first thing I need to know is a basic, high-level framework that you need for your site.
-
Types and number of pages -
Possible design idea or links to inspirational sites (unless you're open to my own design creativity). -
Specific needs you have such as a blog, store, online booking, or member areas, for example. -
What action you want site visitors to take on your site. Maybe your site is an informational-only site, or maybe you want them to complete an online form, purchase a program/product, or sign up for a class or event.
How does payment work? Do you accept credit cards?
I take all forms of payments and I invoice from two different platforms depending on a client's needs.
Do you provide a payment plan? What are your payment options?
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide payment plans for my clients. I suggest paying with a credit card and providing payments that way.
-
50% of the quoted and accepted build price paid upfront to initate work. -
50% of the quoted price paid at the end of the build, or three weeks (21-days)*, whichever comes first.**
-
100% payment upfront is required.
What does your price quote include?
My price quote is ALL-INCLUSIVE, unless otherwise stated.

Will my Wix website be found in Google searches?
SEO is important and fortunately, Wix has great SEO built in...no, you do NOT need a Wordpress site to have relevant SEO.
-
Header tags -
Image Alt Text where applicable -
Page titles -
Page descriptions -
Wix SEO Wizard (utilizing top 3-5 keywords against page meta titles/descriptions) which is the last step prior to launch and your site is ready to be submitted to Google for indexing. -
301 Redirects, if applicable. This tells search engines to forward to new pages that may have a new url with a rebuild or redesign.
Do you work for Wix?
I am not employed by or affiliated with Wix. I operate completely separate from them as Melanie Edwards Designs LLC.
How long does it take to have a website built?
A build timeline is usually pretty consistent, but is largely impacted by
-
Project scope/size -
Current project load -
Revision/edits -
Communication turnaround -
Timezone differences
What's required by me for the website project?
For a website build or redesign,
-
Logo or business name. -
Any brand guidelines and/or font files, if available. -
Content for the site, for example, your services and descriptions, your bio, etc. -
Media assets, such as your photo, any images of your products, videos. If images are not provided, I use stock images as placeholders until new images are provided to me. -
If you need online booking or an online store, I will need your bookable services/classes, availability for appointments, online store product titles, images, descriptions, pricing, etc. -
Email address you will be using for the website. If you do not have a professional email, I can help in acquiring an email through Wix, which uses GSuite for an additional cost.
-
To purchase Wix Hosting (Wix Premium Plan). See plans and pricing. -
Your domain name, which can be acquired through Wix Domains or GoDaddy, for example.
Can we chat on the phone/Zoom/WhatsApp about my site?

Do you write content for websites or provide copywriting services?
