Find out more about the person behind Melanco Consulting
As a web designer and business manager, I help visionary entrepreneurs like you create a professional website and implement simple, yet effective systems to manage your workflows.
Hello! I'm Melanie Cosford.
Nice to meet you.
I started Melanco back in 2018, but I've been learning about effectively running a business for much longer. I'm based in Hamilton, New Zealand with my 7 year old daughter Evie, our miniature schnauzer Daisy and aloof cat Milo.
Prior to starting my own business, I worked in the Corporate sector where I learned to run aspects of a business including putting into place the right systems to make things run smoothly.
When I'm not supporting my clients or working on my business, you can find my daughter and I at the dog park trying to stop our dog from swimming in the river, or dreaming about what colour paint I'm going use on the outside of our house.
What I do in brief: I help small businesses do more online by eliminating time-consuming and tedious tasks with beautifully simple websites, tools and systems that are easy on the eye and on the pocket. I want you to be successful. It’s as simple as that.
So, why work with me?
I'm reliable, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
I've spent many hours learning before specialising and being a partner with Rocketspark websites, Dubsado and ActiveCampaign, so you don't have to.
I have a lot of experience in what works online and what doesn’t, so I can suggest the right solutions for your business.
Let's get to know each other more over a coffee. Book a no obligation chat today.
