We work with writers at every stage of their careers. Our Writers' Package gives you a chance to work with an experienced designer and make a professional impact — starting at a very affordable $900.

Writers are concerned about this the idea of building a "personal brand" online. But at the heart of it is something simple that writers already know: Good writing evokes emotion. Your personal brand does the same thing.

Some writers' brands are all about inspiring trust and authority. Some convey luxury or worldliness, danger or humor or sensuality.

Our job is to ask you the right questions, help you define your position in the marketplace. Identify the emotions you need to evoke. What are you writing? Who's your audience? Why do they love you? Are you selling to consumers? Pitching editors, agents, magazines?

We'll also ask you specific design questions — colors, textures, images you love and hate.

Based on this conversation your web designer will create a unique look for you.

You use words to create a connection. We add colors, textures and typography.

When your site launches, it'll be visually unique. But underneath the hood, there are fundamental building blocks we all share:

  • A homepage that establishes a mood and promotes your latest offerings.
  • A bio page that distinguishes you and sells your experience.
  • An online portfolio to show off your work
  • And a way to connect, or buy your published work.

These building blocks are the foundation of our Writers' Websites package. The reason our custom websites are so affordable is that we don't start with a blank screen.

There's a lot more we can do, but it's all optional. The basics are here, and included for $900.

Our mission in life is to make this easy for you!

Your designer will create the design based on your input, incorporating any visual elements you provided, such as book covers, logo art, and your headshot if you have one. You'll have a chance to request revisions to the design, and then we'll build your site.

When your new website site goes live you'll be able to edit text and images on every page, add news and events, and add items to your portfolio, without writing HTML or having to pay anyone to do it for you.

Your site includes Google Analytics to track your visitors, and integration with your Amazon affiliate program to sell online.

No Technical Skills Required.

That's what we're here for. Be confident: the Easy Update system was designed for non-technical people. If you can use Word, you can update your site. It's weirdly easy.
