Wait…your website layout can change?

Many business owners launch a website and think it will keep working the same way forever. But website platforms update, integrations change, and layouts can shift over time. Without regular monitoring, small issues can affect how your website looks and functions.

In this short post, I explain why websites benefit from ongoing monitoring and thoughtful updates.

Marketing-minded website design for small businesses.

Grassroots Creative Company is a website design studio based in Chardon, Ohio, helping small businesses throughout Northeast Ohio and remotely. I’m Mel, the designer and owner.

VIEW WEBSITE SERVICESSEE HOW IT WORKS

You’re here because something about your website isn’t working.

Website platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and Showit make it possible to build a website yourself. But the pieces still have to work together, from how the pages are organized and found on Google to how the content sounds and how the site functions behind the scenes.

There’s more behind the scenes than you might realize:

  • Page structure, headings, filenames, and other SEO details matter.
  • Forms, apps, integrations, and layouts can stop working as expected.
  • Desktop and mobile versions both need to be checked.
  • Platforms and systems change, so the site needs ongoing attention.

Let me Guess

If you’d rather spend that time running your business and take it off your team, that’s where I come in.

Your website should support the business behind it

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!

RECENT WEBSITE PROJECTS

Websites built around real businesses, not a one-size-fits-all formula.

Every business has different content, customers and goals. My job is to bring those pieces together into a website that feels cohesive, easy to use and true to the business behind it.

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.

Holistic Website Design

Website design with a marketing mindset.

With 18+ years of marketing experience, a master’s in Marketing & Communication, and undergraduate study in web design, I bring more than design experience to every website project.

I’m thinking about what your business needs to communicate, how people move through the site, what helps them find you online, and how everything works together as part of your marketing.

Think of me as the website and marketing specialist you can bring in when your business needs the expertise, without adding that role to your team full-time.
