Why Authors Need One
Social Platforms Rent You An Audience. A Website Gives You One.
Algorithms change, accounts get suspended and reach quietly disappears. Your website and your email list are the only two channels no platform can take away from you overnight.
We design author sites as working sales tools rather than digital business cards. Every page has a job: the home page frames your brand in five seconds, book pages route readers to the retailer they already buy from, the about page earns trust for media and event bookers, and a newsletter signup runs quietly through all of them. Then we make it fast, indexable and simple enough that you can update it yourself between releases.
What's Included
Everything An Author Site Has To Do
A book cover sells one title. A website sells your backlist, your next release, your speaking dates and your newsletter all at once, all day.
Custom Brand Design
A design system built from your genre and your covers — palette, typography, imagery and tone — so the site feels like an extension of your books, never a recycled theme.
Book & Series Pages
A dedicated page per title with blurb, praise, sample chapter, series order, editions and buy buttons for Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, Audible and your signed-copy store.
Newsletter & Reader Magnet
Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Substack or Beehiiv integration with a delivered reader magnet, welcome sequence setup and signup points placed where readers actually convert.
Direct Sales & Signed Copies
Optional Shopify, WooCommerce or Payhip storefront for signed paperbacks, bundles and direct eBook sales, so you keep the full margin instead of a retailer cut.
Events, Media & Press Kit
An events calendar, downloadable press kit with hi-res headshots and covers, interview topics and a boilerplate bio that journalists can copy without emailing you first.
SEO, Analytics & Blog
Clean metadata, schema markup for books and author profile, sitemap, Google Search Console and analytics setup, plus a blog or journal you can post to yourself.
Design Directions
Styles We Design In
Your site should look like the inside of your books feel. We match the visual language readers of your genre already trust.
Literary & Editorial
Serif typography, generous white space and quiet color the language of literary fiction, memoir and prize-list authors.
Dark & Cinematic
Deep backgrounds, dramatic cover imagery and bold contrast for thriller, horror, crime and dark fantasy audiences.
Warm & Romantic
Soft palettes, script accents and character art for romance, women's fiction and cost mystery readers.
Playful & Illustrated
Hand-drawn elements, bright color and parent-friendly navigation for children's and middle-grade authors.
Authority & Professional
Structured layouts, speaking reels, testimonials and lead capture for business, self-development and academic authors.
Series Universe
World maps, character indexes, timelines and reading-order guides for fantasy and sci-fi series with deep lore.
