Your books need
a home online.

Retail listings sell copies. A website builds a career. We design cinematic, fast author sites that show off your work, grow your newsletter, and give readers one place that is unmistakably yours.

WHY IT MATTERS

The one platform you actually own

Amazon can change its algorithm. A social platform can throttle your reach or vanish overnight. Your website and the reader list it feeds are the only assets that stay yours no matter what happens to everything else.

A great author site does three jobs at once: it makes a strong first impression, it turns curious visitors into newsletter subscribers, and it sends ready buyers straight to your books. We build all three in from day one.

Every site is hand-designed around your genre and voice. No generic templates, no builder-block sameness, just a site that looks like it was made for your books because it was.

WHAT'S BUILT IN

Everything an author site should do

Not just a pretty page. Every build is made to look great and actually work for your career.

Book & Store Integration

Every title links straight to Amazon and other retailers, with an optional direct store for signed copies and ebooks.

Blog & Events

Share updates, tour dates, and new releases through sections you can update yourself whenever you like.

FAQ

Website questions, answered

Everything authors ask before starting a website build.

A website is the one place you fully own, where readers can find every book, join your newsletter, and reach you directly. Retail listings and social profiles can change their rules overnight, but your site and your reader list are yours to keep.

Yes. We set up hosting and connect your custom domain, and we can register a new one for you if you do not have it yet. You keep full ownership of both.

Yes. We link every book to Amazon and other retailers, and on higher tiers we can add a direct store so readers buy signed copies or ebooks straight from you.

Yes. We build with an editable structure and walk you through updating text, books, and events. If you would rather not touch it, our support plan handles changes for you.

Sites start at $799 for the Essential Author Site, $1,499 for the Signature Author Site, and $2,999 for the Cinematic Author Site. A free consultation helps match the right build to your books and goals.

The build is a one-time price. The only recurring costs are your own hosting and domain, which are modest, and an optional support plan if you want us to handle updates.

Yes. You can start with Essential and add pages, a store, or custom animation later as your catalog and audience grow.

Most author sites go live in 2 to 4 weeks depending on scope, page count, and how quickly content and feedback come back. Cinematic builds with custom animation take a little longer.

Your book details and cover art, a short bio and photo, and any links you want featured. If you are missing pieces, we can help write and source them.

Yes. Every build is tuned for speed and tested across devices, and most of our sites score above 90 on Google's performance check.
