Design, maintenance and optimization services
I've been in Santa Cruz County since 1981, designing and maintaining websites since 2002. You can be confident of my skills because as a CEO myself, I want to help you grow your business. Melody Sharp Web Design has designed hundreds of websites—from WordPress to Shopfiy, SquareSpace and Wix—but specializes in collaborating with smaller clients and nonprofits to give them a unique and successful online presence.
Melody Sharp Web Design is small enough to give you one-on-one service, yet well-connected enough to recommend other local professionals for larger projects, including project managers, marketing people, logo designers, programmers and search engine optimization gurus. We collaborate to offer content creation, blogging, SEO, SEM, e-mail marketing, Web analytics and social media.
