Author marketing

Author websites

Fast, accessible author websites with book pages, newsletter signup and contact.

In short: we design and build author websites that you own and control: a home for your books, your newsletter and your readers that doesn't depend on any one retailer or social network.

What's included

  • A homepage that introduces you and your books clearly
  • A page for each book, with cover, description, series order and retailer links
  • Newsletter signup connected to the email service you use
  • About, contact and media kit pages (bio, photos, cover files for press)
  • Mobile-friendly, accessible design that loads quickly
  • Basic search setup: page titles, descriptions, sitemap and sharing images
  • A handover session so you can add books and news yourself

What you'll need to provide

  • Your book covers, descriptions and retailer links
  • An author photo and bio, or ask us to write your bio
  • Your domain name, or we can help you choose and register one in your name

How long it takes

Your written quote gives a confirmed delivery date. The time needed depends on the number of pages and books, any custom features, and how quickly content and feedback come back, and on how quickly feedback comes back between rounds.

Price

Where packages are shown on this page, they are our standard prices. Prices depend on the size and complexity of the project. For a standard package you can request an invoice: we confirm the scope first, then email the invoice, and nothing is charged online. For anything else, request a free quote that lists exactly what's included before you commit.

How it works

  2. 2

    Design and build

    We design and build the site on a platform you own.

  3. 3

    Review

    You review the site and we make the agreed changes.

  4. 4

    Launch and handover

    We launch on your domain and show you how to update it.

Questions

Do I need a website if I'm on Amazon?
A website is the one place you fully control. It gives readers, reviewers and event organisers a single link for all your books, and is where most authors grow their own email list.
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes. We build it so you can add books, news and links without code, and show you how in a handover session.
Who owns the site and domain?
You do. The domain and hosting accounts are in your name.
