About me

I blend clean code with thoughtful, impactful design to help clients stand out online.

I’m Joel Mellor, a digital designer and developer. Most of my work is church web design: fast WordPress sites that staff can update themselves, plus the plugins that power them. I also build websites, apps and brand identities for small businesses.
