A great experience from start to finish. Mel was swift to respond, quickly grasped my needs, didn't try to add on any unnecessary extras and was a pleasure to deal with. She went above and beyond. Would recommend to anybody.Posted on Google
Chris456 days agoI found Mel online, kind of by accident and I'm so glad I did! I'd never set up a business or a website before so had no idea where to start, but Mel just understood who I was and what I wanted to achieve and represented it perfectly for me. Her way of working made it a simple, relaxed and enjoyable process and I'm delighted with the end product. I can't recommend Mel enough and it was worth every penny!Posted on Google
Rod Morgan (Performance Rod)489 days agoMelanie England designed, created and built my website from scratch and I am so impressed with the result as have been friends and clients. Her creativity is truly outstanding. Her layout, choice and use of colours and the strategic positioning of images perfectly captures the essence, content and quality of the services I offer my clients. In addition she has a great eye for the subtleties of colour not only juxtaposing those which truly compliment each other but also balancing them to create pages which are clear, very attractive and easy on the eye. She even suggested and made the black text ever so slightly softer which made reading it an easier and more pleasurable experience. She has also made my website extremely user-friendly with a clear menu, strategically placed links and plenty of calls to action enabling visitors to navigate the site and make bookings simply, easily and effectively. Throughout the build Melanie was always on hand to answer any of my questions with understanding, empathy and clear explanations and she came up with some great and amazing ideas to make my website more appealing, dynamic and compelling. Regarding the compulsory cookie declaration she used one which is non-intrusive, easy to use and which does not distract visitors’ focus from the attractiveness, content and impact of the pages. Her choice of providers for hosting, booking appointments and taking international payments was excellent providing easy to use forms for clients to complete online. I highly recommend Melanie for her knowledge, creativity and exceptional design skills, all with her personal touch, in website building.

Neena Sharma803 days agoI needed a website for my midlife coaching business and Melanie was recommended to me. I’m not very tech savvy and was very apprehensive about working with someone who is but I needn’t have worried. Melanie is a true professional who put me at ease, understood the brief exactly and delivered a website which exceeded my expectations. I can’t thank her enough.Posted on Google
Jenny Sharp Career Coach844 days agoI came to Mel with a website, but it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. I had some traffic to it, but people just weren't staying on it. As soon as I met Mel I realised she could see my vision and has helped me bring it reality - keeping the essence of me, but enabling me to communicate my message in a much more organised and better way. Mel is so friendly and yet professional and has a no-nonsense approach (much like me!). The process was truly amazing for me as she worked with me to not only create an aesthetically beautiful site but also shared her way with words, using both her ideas and embracing AI to enable a slicker but authentic copy. Thank you Mel.+0Posted on Google
Ann-Marie Cousins876 days agoOur old website felt tired and cluttered, with too much information and an unhelpful layout. Mel was great to work with and really listened to what I had in mind for our new website. She was responsive and helpful, and had great suggestions which ensured that the overall style stayed true to the original vision. She made brilliant recommendations about our branding and tone of voice, so that they were consistent with our new, elegant and calm website. Our new website looks incredible and perfectly encapsulates our business and our branding, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!Posted on Google

Kate Danchin1068 days agoHuge thanks to Mel at Lemon Zest Designs for creating my gorgeous new website - and for making the whole process so much easier than I ever thought it could be. Anything techy makes me quite anxious, but Mel has the patience of a saint and 'held my hand' through the two week design/build. She completely understood my vision and created a website that is not only beautiful to look at, highly intuitive and easy to navigate, but also reflects the values and ethos of my business. Five star service from start to finish!Posted on Google

Katie Farrell1114 days agoI love how Mel made sure she really understood the look & feel that I wanted for my website, from the branding and how it was presented, to the flow of the content and how I want prospective clients to feel when they land on my site. I think it’s a great price for the product and service provided. The whole process was made as simple as possible to follow, from the structure of collating the content you want and need to include in your website, including copy and images, that Mel guides you through, to the suggestions and recommendations of certain content and idea generators. I particularly loved working directly with Mel during the 1:1 calls, as she makes you feel heard and understood – she takes the time to really understand who you are, what/who your website is for and the services/products you provide (which she does quickly!) and then weaves her own energetics magic through the site to ensure it attracts the people its meant for. I have already recommended her services to my contacts and I look forward to working with Mel again.Posted on Google
Lucy Parkin1114 days agoI used Melanie from a recommendation from a friend. From the moment we started working together, I felt completely at ease and trusted that Melanie would create my vision for my website. I found the website making process very daunting, before I worked with Melanie. She took such time and patience to produce my website and I am so happy with the outcome. Every step of the way I felt included and heard in my vision and any concerns I had. She was direct with instructions, and encouraged me to completely express myself with my website. I felt she really cared about my wishes for my site, and she wanted me to be completely happy with the finished product. I 1000% would recommend anyone to use Melanie, she is amazing. Thank you again!Posted on Google

Before we begin
A few things
you might be wondering.
Can we work on the website I already have?
Let’s start by looking at it. I’ll consider how it’s built, the content you have and what you want to achieve before recommending ongoing SEO, some focused changes or a redesign.
Do I need to write the pages and blogs myself?
No. I create the content, drawing on your knowledge of your business and customers. Conversations and voice notes help me capture the details that make your services yours.
How will I know what the SEO work is doing?
We’ll agree what matters to your business and review the available search and website data alongside the work completed. Reporting should help you understand what’s changing and what we should focus on next.
