As an author, your website is your number one selling tool.
It is your home-base where you have all your critical information (author bio, social media links, book information and marketplace links) and needs to be a reflection of who you are as an author. It also needs to be easy navigable, beautiful and up-to-date. This can be a lot to manage and take valuable time away from your writing- let us help!

My design process
Fill out your interest form
To start working together, please submit an interest form. This is where you share all your ideas for your website, including any customizations like setting up a shop or a VIP reader portal.
Once I receive that, I will reach out and we can continue communicating over email or set up an introductory call to make sure we are a good fit and have an aligned vision for your project.
Let's begin!
Once we discuss your project goals, I will place you on the calendar and send over an intake questionnaire to get a better understanding of your brand, the type of books you write and what you would like from your website.
Time to design!
Now that I have your intake form and understand your brand, I will work on building out your website.
To ensure as little downtime on your site as possible, I will build your site on my own private server that only you will have access to.
Feedback and Revise
Once I have a basic outline of your website, essentially the "bones" of the site, I will be in touch to ask for feedback. You will be sent a form soliciting feedback on everything from flow to the colors and typography.
Finalize and Launch!
After implementing all your feedback and adding the content, or "meat", to the site, we'll be ready to launch.
If you're choosing to host your site with us or planning to use your own hosting, we'll migrate your site to wherever you want to go and set everything up!
Training Time
Now that your site is live, it's time to schedule our live training. During a one-on-one video call, I'll share my computer screen with you and show you how easy it is to update and maintain your website!
