If you have hired a web designer before, you may know all three. We keep things moving, we answer, and the price on this page is the price you pay.
What goes into your author website
Design from your book
We read the book first. Its setting, mood, and voice decide the look, so the site feels like page one.
Video up front
If you have a Film 14 trailer or teaser, it opens the site. If you don't, your cover and your words carry it.
Made for phones
Most readers will find you on a phone. We design that version first, then the desktop.
Buy links that work
Hardcover, paperback, ebook, audiobook. Each format gets its own clear path to the store.
A mailing list you own
Newsletter signup wired to your own account, so every reader who joins belongs to you.
Found on Google
Titles, descriptions, share images, and site map set up before launch, so your name leads to your site.
Author website design, from page one
Most author websites look alike because most come from the same templates. We begin with your book instead. Its setting, tone, and voice shape the type, the color, and the way each page moves, so a reader who lands on your site knows within seconds what kind of story you tell.
A book website gives one title its own home, ready for a launch, a trailer, and preorders. An author website holds your whole shelf: your bio, your news, a page for every book, and a place for readers to join your mailing list. For a series or a publishing house, a full site adds reading order, series guides, and a page for film and TV rights.
Readers find authors on their phones, through a search, a social post, or a friend's recommendation. We design for that first, and we set up search titles, descriptions, and share images before launch, so your name and your book's title lead straight to your site.
Custom author websites from design agencies often cost $10,000 or more and take months to finish. Ours start at $1,500, and the price on this page is the price you pay.

Five steps
You send the book
Fill in a short written brief and send your cover, photos, and links. No meetings to schedule.
We read it
Cover to cover. The setting, the voice, and the first page decide what the site looks like.
We build the real thing
Not a flat mockup. A working site you can open on your own phone and laptop.
You review
Tell us what to change. Two rounds of revisions are included.
You go live
We connect your domain and go live when you're happy with it. Facing a release date? We can launch seven days after we have your materials.
Monthly site support
A new book, a new review, a changed event date. Send us the change in a sentence and we take care of it. Site support is optional and billed monthly.
Good questions
What do you need from me
Your book, your cover art, a few photos, any praise or reviews, and your store links. We send a short written brief that walks you through it.
How long does it take
Your schedule sets the pace. Take the time you need to review and revise. If a release date is coming, we can have your site live seven days after we have your completed brief and materials.
How much does an author website cost
$1,500 for a book website, $2,500 for an author website, and $3,500 for a full site for a series or publishing house. Each price covers design, build, launch, and two rounds of revisions. Monthly site support is optional.
Do I need a book website or an author website
If you have one book and a launch ahead, a book website gives that title its own home. If you have written more than one book, or plan to, an author website grows with your shelf and gives every book its own section.
I already have a website
We can replace it. Your domain stays the same, and we move over anything worth keeping.
I don't have a trailer
You don't need one. If you want one, we make book trailers and book teasers, and either can open your site.
Do I need a website if I'm on social media
Yes. Social platforms decide who sees your posts. Your website and your mailing list belong to you, and your site is where readers land when they search your name.
What if I need changes after launch
Two rounds of revisions are included in every site. After that, monthly site support covers ongoing changes. Contact us for details.
