Author Website Design

The one property a retailer cannot take away

Retail listings are rented space. Your website is where readers find everything about you — and where you collect the email addresses that make the next launch easier.

The problem this solves

Author sites usually launch as a single page with a cover image and no way to capture a reader who arrived interested.

What you end up with

A fast, accessible author site with a page per book, a working newsletter capture and metadata that search engines can read.

What is included

Scope of the Engagement

  • Author brand and homepage design
  • A dedicated page per book with retailer links
  • About and media kit pages with downloadable assets
  • Newsletter capture connected to your email platform
  • Events, speaking or contact pages as needed
