Let’s get real—you didn’t become an author because you wanted to spend your days tangled up in plugins, DNS settings, or figuring out what the heck a favicon is. You became an author to write, to build worlds, to tell stories. But in today’s digital world, having a professional author website isn’t optional—it’s essential. That’s why we created Your Author Website: Author Website Design Made Easy. We’ve developed a Done-For-You solution for writers that takes all the techy stuff off your plate so you can focus on doing what you do best.
Whether you’re launching your first novel or juggling a growing backlist, we make author website design simple, beautiful, and strategic. Here’s why working with us is the smartest move you can make for your writing career.
Most Author’s Have Websites That Aren’t Good Enough
It might sound harsh, but it’s true! Your author website should be more than an online business card, otherwise, what’s the point?!
Our experienced team has looked at hundreds of author websites and can tell you from a professional online marketing and brand design perspective– most authors have a website that simply isn’t good enough. 9 out of 10 websites we see are doing the absolute bare minimum… Home, About, Contact, Books.
If you want to really grow and scale your author brand, your website should be a tool that works harder for you.
A Well-Designed Author Site Works Smarter & Harder— So You Don’t Have To.

- Establish your professional presence
- Build your credibility
- Boost your reader engagement
- Attract media, and event organizers
When you work with us, you don’t just get a pretty site. You get a book marketing website built with intention.
