About the Founder

I've always believed you don't need a big budget to create something incredible.

Hi, I'm Madeline Merced - and as a first-gen kid raised by a single mom in government housing, I learned one lesson fast: if you can't afford it, you make it yourself.

Humble Beginnings

That figure-it-out mindset became my superpower

Back in 2008 - long before "Influencer" was a career - I launched one of the very first lifestyle shows on YouTube. I jokingly called it "Martha Stewart for Young Women." My goal was simple: to show young women they didn't need so much to live a beautiful life. That scrappy little show ended up getting featured in The New York Times, Glamour Magazine, and on The Rachel Ray Show.

Becoming a Developer

I couldn't afford a developer, so I became one

The website for my show was... well, let's just say it was "rustic." I didn't have the money to hire a developer, so I decided to figure it out myself. HTML, CSS, JavaScript - I learned it all through late nights and a lot of trial and error. To my surprise, I fell in love with the logic of the backend. I went all in and earned my BS in Software Development.

Climbing the Ladder

I wore every hat. I jumped into every department.

I joined a fast-growing company where "that's not my job" wasn't an option. When our website needed an overhaul (three different times), I was the one who rolled up my sleeves and built it. Eventually, I worked my way up to VP. But I couldn't shake the feeling that I was building someone else's dream.

The Mission

My templates give you the high-end agency look - without the agency invoice

You have the vision, but the tech is slowing you down. I use my tech and marketing background to build the structure and systems you need, so you don't have to DIY the hard parts like I did. My mission then is the same as my mission now: Resourcefulness. I believe that if you give a woman the right tools, she can build anything.

Our Foundation

Every product is named after a saint

Our Catholic faith isn't just part of who we are - it's the foundation of everything we build. Every product at Mary Milagros is named for a saint who either inspires its design or serves as the patron of the people it was made for.

From The St. Carlo (patron of the internet) to The St. Thérèse (the Little Flower) - each name carries a story, a purpose, and a prayer for whoever uses it.

Commonly asked questions

Everything you need to know before you shop.

We sell premium digital products for solopreneurs: Showit website templates, WordPress themes, Notion client portals and systems, Canva social media template kits, spreadsheets, and digital bundles. We also offer The St. Carlo (a done-for-you website design service) and The St. Cupertino (an AI quiz generator). Everything is delivered digitally - download and launch the same day.
Not at all. Every template is designed to be beginner-friendly. Our Showit and WordPress templates are built for drag-and-drop customization, Canva templates edit right in the free version of Canva, and our Notion templates are ready to use the moment you duplicate them to your workspace. Each product includes clear instructions to get you started.
The St. Carlo is our semi-automatic website design service. You purchase the service, fill out a detailed questionnaire about your brand and vision, and we design, write, and launch your entire website - typically within one week. No live meetings required. It's the "high-end agency" result without the agency process or price tag.
Due to the digital nature of our products, all sales are final once the download link has been accessed. Exceptions are made for duplicate charges, corrupted files, or significant discrepancies between the product and its description. For The St. Carlo, refunds are available before the questionnaire is submitted - once design work begins, no refunds are issued.
Each purchase grants a single-user license for your own personal or business use. If you'd like to use a template for a client's website, you'll need to purchase a separate license for each client. This ensures every buyer gets original value from their purchase.
Our Catholic faith is the foundation of everything we build. Each product is named for a saint who either inspires its design or is the patron saint of the people it was created for. The St. Carlo is named after St. Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint and patron of the internet. The St. Cupertino is named after St. Joseph of Cupertino, patron of test-takers. It's our way of honoring the traditions we come from.
If you need help with a product, you can reach us at madeline@marymilagros.com. We typically respond within 24-48 business hours.
