Good questions

Honest answers to what authors ask most.

If your question is not here, send it over. It probably belongs on this page eventually.

  • Do I need to already have a website?

    Not at all. Most clients arrive with either no site or a site they no longer love. Either is a fine place to start.

  • What if I have not written many books yet?

    A thoughtful website is often most valuable early — before the catalogue is crowded. We can design something clean that grows with you.

  • Can I update the site myself after launch?

    Yes. The site is built to be edited without a developer nearby. You get a short guide covering the edits you are most likely to make — new books, updated bio, new testimonials.

  • Do you handle domains, hosting, and email?

    We can. If you already have a domain and a host you like, we work with them. If not, I can recommend a calm, independent setup that keeps you in control.

  • Will the site look good on a phone?

    It has to. Most readers will meet your site on a phone first. Mobile is never an afterthought.

  • How long does a project take?

    A focused author website typically takes a few weeks from first conversation to launch. Refreshes are often faster. We talk about timing in our first call so the schedule is realistic on both sides.

  • What does a project cost?

    Every project is a little different. After our first conversation, I send a written proposal with a clear, fixed scope and price — no hourly meters, no surprise invoices.

  • Do you also write the copy?

    I help shape it. Most authors prefer to write their own bio and book descriptions — they know their voice. I ask the right questions and edit gently where it helps.

A short conversation is the best place to start. Tell me a little about your books and what you want the site to do — no pressure, no pitch deck.
