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.
