What you get with this Offer
A website that turns readers into buyers - built specifically for authors.
Most author websites are an afterthought: a cover image, a short bio, and a dead link to a bookshop. Yours will do actual work - introduce you, showcase your books, grow your mailing list, and give readers, press and agents one clean place to find you.
WHAT YOU GET
- A complete author website, up to 5 pages: Home, About, Books, Blog/News and Contact
- Mobile-first design (more than half your readers will arrive on a phone)
- A dedicated page for every book: cover, blurb, reviews and buy buttons pointing wherever you sell
- Mailing list signup wired to Mailchimp, ConvertKit or Substack - the single most valuable thing an author site can do
- A blog or news section you can update yourself, no developer needed
- Contact form straight to your inbox, with a separate press and media enquiry option
- Social links plus Goodreads and BookBub integration
- On-page SEO so your name and book titles actually surface in Google
- Fast loading, SSL secure and accessible
- Built on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-coded - your choice, or I will recommend based on how much you want to edit yourself
- Two rounds of revisions included
- A short walkthrough video showing you how to update your own content
WHO THIS IS FOR
Debut authors preparing for a launch, self-published writers building a direct line to their readers, and established authors whose site has not been touched since the last book.
HOW IT WORKS
You send me your bio, book details, cover images and any branding. I build the site and send you a preview link within 3 days. You review, I revise, we launch.
I have built author websites before, so I understand the difference between a portfolio site and a site that sells books.
Note: domain and hosting are purchased in your own name so you own everything outright. Happy to walk you through it if you do not have them yet.

What the Freelancer needs to start the work
To get started I will need:
- Your author bio and a headshot
- Titles, blurbs and cover images for each of your books
- The links where your books are sold (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, your publisher, etc.)
- Your logo, or any brand colours and fonts you already use
- Access to your domain and hosting - let me know if you need help choosing and setting these up
- Your mailing list account details, if you already have one
- Two or three author websites you like the look of, so I can match your taste
If you do not have all of this yet, that is fine - send what you have and I will guide you through the rest.
