Ask Mel a Question

Common Questions

What's included in the domain with Template Launch?

One year of domain registration is included in the $797 price. After year 1, domain renewal is typically $12–15/year. Hosting renews at $15/month after year 1.

Do I own my website?

Yes — your domain and all website files belong to you. If you ever want to move to another provider, your files are always available. No lock-in.

How long does Template Launch take?

Most Template Launch projects are live within 3–5 business days after you provide your content (logo, photos, colors, copy).

What does a Full Custom Build include?

Everything in Template Launch plus a custom-designed site built around your brand, SEO from day one, Google Analytics, and any advanced features you need. Pricing starts at $1,200 and depends on scope — request a quote to get an exact number.

Can I upgrade from the Template Package to Template Launch later?

Yes. If you purchased a Template Package ($350) and want to add domain setup, contact [email protected] — your $350 is credited toward whichever upgrade you choose.

What's the Copy Writing add-on?

For $99, Mel writes your About Us page, service descriptions, and SEO-friendly page titles tailored to your specific business and location. Most small business owners hate writing about themselves — this add-on means you never have to. Add it at checkout or contact [email protected] after purchase.

Custom Build Add-On

Your Own CMS — Built Around You

A CMS isn't a plugin or a platform. It's a private admin panel I build into your site — so you can update your own content, manage orders and leads, and see your business data without touching code or paying monthly SaaS fees.

Content Management

Edit your pages, services, photos, and text from a simple dashboard — no developer, no code editor. Your site stays current because updating it takes 30 seconds.

Lead & Inquiry Management

Every contact form, quote request, and booking lands in your private inbox — not your email, not a spreadsheet. Track status, reply, and never lose a lead again.

Orders & Payments

Sell services, products, or digital downloads directly from your site. Stripe handles checkout — your dashboard shows every order, payment status, customer email, and total revenue. No Shopify fees.

Business Analytics

Revenue by week and month, which pages get the most inquiries, where your visitors come from. Not generic Google Analytics — numbers that actually tell you something about your specific business.

This is right for you if…

  • You want to update your own site without calling a developer
  • You receive leads or bookings through your website
  • You sell anything — services, products, files, memberships
  • You want to understand what your website data actually means
  • You're done paying monthly platform fees for things you don't own

What I build it with

Every CMS runs on Node.js + Express with a SQLite database — fast, reliable, zero licensing cost. Password-protected admin with session auth. Email via Resend. Payments via Stripe.

Hosted on a private server for about $5/month — or I can host it under your domain. You get full access to the codebase. You own everything.

This is the exact same stack powering a live church site with a store, blog, sermon archive, prayer requests, and full admin panel.

Most CMS builds start around $600–$1,200 and are delivered within 2–3 weeks. Quoted per project based on features.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Say you run a pressure washing company. Your website gets traffic. You get some calls. But you have no idea why.

Without a Dashboard

  • "We got 4 quote requests this month... I think"
  • No idea which service page people visit most
  • Can't tell if the Facebook ad brought anyone in
  • Revenue is buried in Stripe emails
  • Lost leads because they slipped through email

With Your Dashboard

  • "11 quote requests — 3 new, 6 replied, 2 booked"
  • Roof cleaning page: 340 visits, 18% filled the form
  • Facebook referrals this month: 47 visitors
  • Revenue this month: $3,840 (up from $2,100)
  • Every lead stored, searchable, never lost

The data was always there. A dashboard just makes it readable — so you can make decisions instead of guesses.

Add-On Service

Business Data & Reporting

Google Analytics tells you how many visitors you had. It doesn't tell you which service page is turning visitors into customers, how much revenue came from your contact form this month, or whether your Tuesday posts drive more leads than your Friday ones.

I build reporting dashboards custom to your business — pulling from your own data (orders, inquiries, page visits, form submissions) and presenting it in plain English. Numbers you can actually act on.

Revenue ReportingMonthly and weekly totals, average order value, best-selling products or services, refund tracking.
Lead TrackingWhich pages generate the most inquiries, response time trends, lead volume by week or campaign.
Visitor BehaviorTime on page, bounce patterns, most-visited pages, traffic sources — without sharing your data with Google.
Custom KPI DashboardOne screen with the 5–8 numbers that matter most to your business. Built around your goals, not a generic template.
