Author Website Design & Hosting

Your author website does not need to be expensive, complicated, or another thing on your publishing to-do list. This service is designed for authors who need a clean, professional online home for their books without dealing with hosting, domains, tech setup, or website builders.

I create affordable, custom author landing pages designed to showcase your books, link readers to purchase options, collect newsletter signups, and give your author brand a polished place to live online.


Starter Author Website

$25 setup + $8/month
or $95/year

The Starter Author Website is perfect for debut authors, single-book launches, preorder campaigns, ARC promotions, or anyone who needs a simple but professional online presence.

This package includes a custom author or book landing page, mobile-friendly design, book cover showcase, buy/order links, author bio section, newsletter signup integration, social media links, custom domain registration, hosting, and basic maintenance.

Annual billing is available for authors who prefer one upfront payment instead of monthly billing.


Series / Multi-Book Website

$49 setup + $12/month
or $140/year

The Series / Multi-Book Website is designed for authors with multiple books, an ongoing series, a shared story world, or a growing backlist that needs more room than a single landing page.

This package includes everything in the Starter Author Website, plus expanded sections for multiple books, series information, character or world details, reviews or testimonials, custom branded styling, expanded navigation, and optional media kit/download sections.

This is best for fantasy series, horror universes, romance backlists, and authors who want a stronger long-term brand presence.


What’s Included

  • Custom author or book website design
  • Mobile-friendly layout
  • Custom domain registration
  • Hosting included
  • Basic website maintenance

What This Service Is Best For

This service is best for authors who want a professional online presence without paying traditional web design prices. It works especially well for book launches, preorder pages, author portfolios, series pages, and branded landing pages for specific books or pen names.

It is not intended for large e-commerce shops, complex blogs, membership sites, online courses, or websites requiring custom backend development.

Website Refreshes

$35 flat

Need to update your cover, add a new release, change preorder links, swap graphics, or refresh outdated copy? Website refreshes are available for existing author website clients.

What services are you requesting?
(Choosing more than one may mean I bundle them for a discount on your quote.)
For example, I consider an assessment, copy, and line edit to be a part of my full-service edit package, so you are charged the same when packaged together. Still, not everyone wants word choice and tone to be edited, so you have the option to choose just one.
