Hi, I'm Janelle.

I founded Ellanyze while I was living in NYC making a living as a jazz saxophonist and clarinetist. Now happily back in my home state of Michigan, it brings me SO much joy to work every day with business owners, musicians, and other heart-centered entrepreneurs.

My goal for every one of my clients is the same: to create a website that is that perfect reflection of their mission, passion, and brilliance. I've learned firsthand that when these things are in alignment (almost like a mirror you could say), that's when the magic happens.

If you're tired of that web designer who takes forever to get back to you or mansplains to you a little too often, contact me today for something completely different. Let's talk.

Lately you never really know what you are going to get in the service industry in terms of professionalism and competency, it seems. I called around to several website designers and just wasn't that impressed. I'm so so grateful I stumbled upon Janelle at Ellanyze! I knew almost immediately that I wanted her to design my website. My instincts were spot on. Janelle was incredible! She was so professional, punctual, organized, and a joy to work with. She delivered EXACTLY what I was looking for and more! I thought she went above and beyond in every step of the process and I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking to design or redesign their website!!

Janelle has designed and maintained two of my websites, including my current site. It was a pleasure to work with Janelle during the design process. She listened carefully to what my goals for the site were, she gave thoughtful feedback and suggestions, and she used her creative powers to design an elegant and user-friendly site that is accurately representative of me as an artist. Janelle worked efficiently and launched the new site before our agreed-upon deadline. I give Janelle my most enthusiastic recommendation.

Janelle was a joy to work with! She is creative, attentive, organized and prompt. She is a detailed listener and was an excellent collaborator. I've already recommended her work to others!
