Working with Mel has been one of the easiest yeses we’ve made. Mel's casual, friendly style instantly puts you at ease- she talks in your language, links her work to your goals, and makes all things "dev" feel accessible and human. But don’t let that relaxed vibe fool you: behind the scenes, her work is fast, thorough, detailed and seriously proactive. Mel doesn’t just “do the dev work”; she advises, guides, and helps shape your vision. She sees your website and SEO as part of the whole marketing ecosystem, and that’s what makes her stand out. She's multi-skilled across design, code, graphics… even copywriting (but maybe that's a secret!!). She just gets it, and she gets stuck in. Communication is easy, the process is smooth, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly. She’s a dream partner to have on your team. Thank you, Mel- for everything.

I asked Mel to develop and build a new website for my business. I had previously used a Shopify platform and tried, without success, to build and maintain it myself. Online sales were non existent as the site I had built was difficult to navigate and lacked any real direction. I had an idea in my mind of what I wanted my website to look like and Mel took that vision and created something far better than I could have ever wished for. I used to be embarrassed to share my website details with people but now I am actively encouraging all of my customers to visit it. I now feel confident in my brand, sales have increased and I feel like my business is progressing in a more professional way. I cannot thank Mel enough for all her hardwork and all in less than a month from start to finish!

Working with Mel was an absolute delight! Mel built me a brand-new website and I still cannot get over it – I’m utterly pleased. She built it from scratch based on the answers I provided. Mel, unlike many other web designers, although she follows a template, listens to her client and employs her empathy, intelligence and creativity to provide the best results. Because of my not-so-great previous experience, it was important for me to be heard and understood – I still don’t know how exactly she does it, but her brain wires in a beautiful and efficient ways – I’m deeply grateful. I’m the most pleased for an increase of potential client queries and seeing them converting into clients I’m regularly helping was my dream come true. Without Mel it’s been and uphill battle, whereas now it’s a way smoother and pleasant journey to more fulfilment in my and my clients’ lives.

I asked Mel to help me with updating my website as well as my logo and general branding because I felt it needed a refresh to reflect my current coaching and consulting practice. Mel was an absolute joy to work with. She clearly loves what she does and has lots of ideas, good opinions and advice to offer, but she also listened carefully to what was important to me. Turnaround times were really quick, and I liked the ability to visualise the layout of the site as she was building it via the wireframes. She was also patient with me frequently changing my mind as we went through! I'm delighted with the final logo, branding and website and would definitely recommend Mel.

MadeByMel’s service has been nothing short of exceptional. The response time was amazing, and every detail—big or small—was addressed with care and expertise. The support provided was the best I’ve ever experienced, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier web development!

Mel audited my website for me for SEO. Her instructions were clear, consise and user friendly for someone not as confident in SEO. They were actionable and I saw a noticeable difference in my analytics. I would highly recommend Mel who really is a supportive partner for people who need efficient websites.

Mel is a consummate professional. Excellent attention to detail, always meets deadlines and goes beyond what was agreed or requested. I would highly recommend her as an outsourced SEO expert.

Mel was great - I wanted to make my website more professional, maximising SEO and getting a better layout. She did exactly what I wanted, worked flexibly and offered options. It was great working with her - she really knows her stuff!

Mel understands that website building is a form of exposure. A lesser tech guru would turn such vulnerability into a complex partnership, but Mel does not need to ask: What does it mean to transform what you do into transparent web frames? Drawing on her artistic skills and honestly acknowledging the dilemmas of going live, Mel has struck upon a bold, balanced way to co-create a website without any sense of artifice.

Results
From phone calls to 25 online orders
J&J Aggregates used to take every order by phone. Since their new site launched in April 2026, they've had 25 orders placed online.
More enquiries, more sales
Service requests through the new site have more than doubled, and often lead on to a parts sale, in OCS's own words.
From building the site to building her confidence
I designed and built More Wellbeing's website, then spent the following 6 months helping Ilona grow site traffic and find her voice through blogging and email marketing. She now writes and sends her own newsletter with confidence.
