Your Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know about our author website design process.
The "Why" - Understanding the Value
What are the ongoing costs after the one-time design fee?
Our design fee is a one-time cost for the creation of your website. The only ongoing costs are for your domain name (your .com address, typically ~$15/year) and your web hosting (the server where your website lives, typically ~$10-20/month). You pay these directly to the providers, ensuring you always maintain 100% ownership of your digital assets. We are completely transparent about this.
Can I update the website myself after it’s built?
Absolutely! We build our sites with user-friendly page builders for this very reason. You will be able to add new blog posts, update your book information, or change text and images without needing to know any code. We also provide a personalized training session upon handover to make sure you feel confident.
What happens after my website is launched?
Our partnership doesn’t end at launch. We provide you with a full training session to manage your site, and we’re always here for ongoing support if you have questions. We also offer optional monthly maintenance plans for authors who prefer a completely hands-off approach. Your success is our success.
The "What" - Clarifying the Service
What content do I need to provide for the website?
You will be responsible for providing the core content. We’ll guide you through it, but typically this includes:
Text: Your author bio, book descriptions (blurbs), and any blog posts you want to start with.
Images: A professional author headshot, high-resolution book covers, and any other branding images.
Links: Links to where your books are sold online.
Will my website be optimized for search engines (SEO)?
Yes. We include foundational on-page SEO with every website. This means we install a leading SEO plugin, optimize your page titles and descriptions, ensure a mobile-friendly design, and submit your site to Google. This provides a strong starting point for readers to find you through search.
What do you mean by “Mailing List Integration”?
This is one of the most important features. We will embed professional sign-up forms on your website that connect to a mailing list service (like MailerLite or ConvertKit). This allows you to automatically collect reader email addresses, so you can build your audience and notify them directly about new releases.
The "How" - Explaining the Logistics
Why do I need a professional website instead of just using social media?
Your website is the only digital platform you truly own. Social media algorithms can change, and accounts can be suspended, but your website is your permanent home online. It’s your central hub for building a direct relationship with your readers, growing your mailing list, and controlling your author brand without relying on a third-party platform.
Can’t I just use a simple website builder like Wix or Squarespace?
While builders are a good starting point, they often come with limitations on design, functionality, and ownership. We build on WordPress.org, the industry standard for serious creators, for three key reasons:
True Ownership: You own 100% of your site and files, with no restrictions.
Unlimited Scalability: Your site can grow with your career, from a simple blog to a full e-commerce store with courses and more.
Professional Power: We leverage professional tools and design principles to create a site that is faster, more secure, and better optimized for search engines than most template-based builders can offer.
