About Watermelon Web Works, LLC

A designer knows that he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add,

What About Pricing?

Each project that we accept is as unique as the business behind it, and Watermelon Web Works does not use package rates for this reason. All services are billed at an hourly rate. You are billed only for the time we spend on your project. If we estimate 10 hours and it takes 7, you are billed for 7 hours. Certain projects require a 25% advance payment.

We take pride in our detail-oriented, customer-focused support. From server support to site upgrades to content management system training, we use the latest software and techniques to make your technical support experience as smooth as possible. Each email sent to our team is automatically entered in our state-of-the-art ticketing system, where we can assign the best person to answer your question with high levels of visibility and accountability. In addition, we use a variety of tools for collaborative video conferencing and file sharing to provide hands-on assistance from our experienced staff.

Watermelon Web Works has been incredible to work with. They are patient, understanding, and quick to answer any questions (or emergencies) you might have. After switching over to them to help re-vamp our online retail store, we hired them to build our wholesale website as well. I can't recommend them enough - Thank you team!

My previous web developer who I was very happy with retired and I was pretty sad about it because it seems now days it is hard to hire a web developer close by with a good set of skills who is interested in helping small business at reasonable prices. Then I found Watermelon and I have been very happy. They are responsive, are able to solve problems, and work at reasonable prices.

We hired Watermelon to help us with our website. They were very thorough and took the time to explain in layman's terms what they were doing and how we could improve SEO and site functionality. We will definitely be back for future website needs!

Great work and amazing service! We're a non-profit, and our priorities are always focused on maintaining the Astoria Column. We had a website built by someone else a few years ago, but without regular updating and maintenance, sections of our site were no longer functional. Joanna and the rest of the team came in and had everything working within a week and it's been smooth sailing since then!

Watermelon has been a fantastic web development partner. Through every phase of our project they have always been 100% responsive to our requests and have always provided highly knowledgeable, creative, prompt, and personable team members to work with. As a financial institution we’re always concerned about the security and maintenance or our website and Watermelon has always provided the appropriate resources in order to meet and/or exceed our compliance and security requirements. We would surely refer them to any business associates looking for a qualified WordPress web designer in the future. – Denali Federal Credit Union
Watermelon Web Works did a great job creating a custom shopping cart page for our firm. Gavynn in particular was especially helpful and responsive. We appreciated the upfront costs and the technical competency of Watermelon Web Works and would not hesitate to work with the people there again.

I cannot say enough good things about Watermelon. They are terrific communicators, highly competent coders, and really, really nice people. They were instrumental in helping us to assemble a very usable, easily maintainable website for our organization. They' have demonstrated great flexibility in accommodating our evolving needs. They have been highly responsive to any technical issues, typically resolving them in less than 4 hours. Watermelon Web Works will make your organization better, and your CFO/Treasurer will be happy when they see the bill - what more can you ask for?
