About this service
What our author website service involves
Retail listings belong to the stores, and social media accounts can change overnight. An author website is different: it is yours. It gives readers a home for your books, your story and your newsletter, and it is the first place agents, podcast hosts, journalists and event organisers look when they search your name.
We design author sites that are simple to navigate and quick to load on a phone. Each book gets its own page with the cover, blurb, excerpt and links to the stores of your choice. A short about page, a contact form and a newsletter sign-up round it out, and an optional blog supports your search visibility over time.
Benefits
Six reasons authors choose our author website
Your own platform
Own your audience and your content instead of relying only on stores and social networks.
Book pages that sell
Each title has a page with cover, description, reviews and retailer links.
Newsletter ready
Sign-up forms connect to your email service so you can reach readers directly.
Fast and mobile friendly
Most visitors arrive on phones, so the site is designed for small screens first.
Search friendly
Clean structure, page titles and descriptions help readers find you.
Easy to update
You can add new books and news without technical help.
Our approach
How we handle author website
An author site should answer three questions quickly: who is this author, what do they write and where can I get it? We design the home page around those questions, put your newest book first and keep the path to buying or subscribing short. Every extra click loses a few visitors.
Search engines also read your site. Clear page titles, descriptions and headings, quick loading and a mobile-friendly layout help your name and book titles appear when people look for you. A blog or news section adds fresh content, which also gives you something to share with your email list.
Common mistakes we help you avoid
- Hiding the books. Visitors should see your books immediately, not hunt through menus.
- No email sign-up. Social platforms come and go. A mailing list is a direct line to your readers.
- Neglecting mobile. Most visitors use phones. Test every page on a small screen.
