PROJECTS

Over the past decade, I’ve crafted websites for a host of incredible businesses who are creating their stamp on the world.

Seeing them thrive and evolve whilst I've supported them through my digital & design expertise is the reason I established Mela Studio.

  • "Working with Angharad for the Squarespace Tidy Up Day was SO GOOD. It was super organised and seamless from start to finish, and we got so much done in the day (more than I expected!) If you need to sort your website out and you want to do it quickly and painlessly, get in touch with Angharad. She'll sort you out!"

    Katie Chappell, Founder & Illustrator

  • "We hired Angharad to work on the content design of our TV industry website: Outside the Box. She did a 100% amazing job, working against tight deadlines to deliver the site on time and within budget with great results. Angharad is super creative and a real pro at what she does. She is real pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her. I really hope we get to work together again on future projects!"

    Helen Roberts, Website Manager at Everyone TV (Freeview & Freesat)

  • "Working with Angharad is really smooth. She's organised, creative, efficient and a great partner to have on a website project. A true Doer!"

    Jess Sims, The Doers

  • "Angharad took our ideas and turned them into a cohesive online presence via a series of design days. I can't believe she made all that happen without hiring a brand designer. Very impressive. Angharad was flexible and accommodating. She knows Squarespace inside out, and her flexible way of working via design days meant that her work could fit our timeline. The Squarespace site looks fantastic and has given us a website to be proud to send our clients."

    Roșie Dalling - The Boost Global

  • “Despite working in digital marketing, I am often completely flummoxed by the 'back end' of the platforms I use every day to support my business. When I got myself in a muddle between my Squarespace website and Google Workspace I spent hours trying to unpick the mess by myself. In the end I called on the services of Angharad who was absolutely brilliant - she was calm, efficient, tenacious and (importantly) did not once make me feel stupid for finding this stuff difficult. I know exactly who I will be calling the next time I need support (because there definitely will be a next time...)”

    Nicola Washington, Too Much Social

  • "I was feeling a little overwhelmed with a domain issue that I just couldn't get my head around. Angharad quickly presented a clear solution and helped me sort everything out. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders! It was so great to be able to use our Power Hour to quickly fix a problem that would have taken me days to figure out. Plus she is super friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Totally recommend this service."

How I work

All work created with Mela Studio is intuitive and methodical - based on years of designing systems and websites with the users in mind. Projects always vary in requirements, user understanding and scope - but I will always talk this through to craft a solution that best fits your needs. 

No matter where you are in your business, I’m here to help you reach where you want to be next.
