Like what you see? Great. You can get the ball rolling by booking in a chat. Pick a time that suits you and we’ll ink it in the diary.

  • "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."

    Diana Oliveira Photography

  • "Angharad listened to what I was after and understood my brand and vision. I'd had a go at building the perfect website myself but decided I needed a helping hand with making some cute changes in order to pull it all together and give it a more professional feel. Before I committed to the booking we had a friendly, laid-back chat which confirmed that Angharad would pull off exactly the kind of thing I had in mind. Diolch yn fawr! I love my new and improved website (-: ”

    Maggie Cross

  • “Angharad was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her creativity and expert knowledge made Mela Studio the perfect fit to work with my brand and revamp my squarespace website. She was so thorough and communicated well with regular updates. I love how well the website flows now and is much more coherent and user friendly. Angharad is so generous with her insights and advice and explains in a way that even a web novice like myself would understand. I would highly recommend Mela Studio, top notch!”

    Helen Bellamy, Nelly's Treasures

  • “Working with Angharad has been an absolute dream. From the initial concept to the final creation, she has brought my vision to life and has been so helpful and supportive along the way. Her creative skills and ideas are outstanding, and her patience and understanding when it came to creating my website were second to none. She has supported me fully throughout the process, making any edits and suggesting new ideas when I needed them. I would recommend Angharad to anyone looking for a beautifully-designed and easy to use website to compliment their business.”

    Sian Childs, Natal Fit

  • “Angharad helped me build my dream website! It’s enabled me to organise my orders in a more timely and professional way, which has helped my Buisness massively! Angharad is so knowledgeable and was able to bring all my ideas to life! (being someone who’s not very tech savvy!) Angharad was patient and taught me how to maintain my website. Diolch Angharad!”

    Molly ST

  • “Can’t recommend Angharad highly enough. She made building a new website a really enjoyable experience and we’re really pleased with the final outcome. What the site can’t show is the little extras that came by working with her (besides for coffee & croissants) she recommended us to a brilliant photographer and was just very open and honest about what works, what doesn’t and how to best communicate what we do.”

    Jude Lau, The Printhaus

  • “Angharad worked diligently with me to create a slick, stylish new website that I am beyond excited to show off. While I deliberated over the content, Angharad patiently led me through a variety of options and price plans that more than met my brief. I would recommend Mela Studio to any creative business or individual looking for a web build that will suitably reflect their content. It was an added bonus that Angharad is charming too, simplifying the process and explaining it in straightforward terms. Thank you!”
