Websites For Authors
Websites for Authors Who Are Ready to Be Seen, Heard & Paid
You didn’t write your books, teach your courses, and lead your trainings just to stay hidden.
But if your website isn’t showing up in search results…if your audience can’t find you online…if your site feels disorganized, outdated, or incomplete…
Then the wisdom you’ve spent a lifetime cultivating isn’t reaching the people who need it most.
That’s not just frustrating. It’s financially and emotionally draining.
A professional, SEO-optimized WordPress website designed specifically for authors like you is the bridge between invisibility and income. It’s how your readers, students, and ideal clients find you—organically, without ads.
You’re Not Just an Author. You’re a Guide. A Healer. A Teacher.
You don’t need more products to sell. You need more people to find what you already offer.
Your website should work like an assistant that’s available 24/7—greeting visitors, showcasing your books and offerings, and gently guiding them to what’s right for them.
Whether you’ve written bestsellers, hosted in-person retreats, or run a powerful online course, your WordPress site can—and should—do the heavy lifting for you.
No tech stress. No hours lost trying to DIY.
Just a clean, clear, deeply aligned website that reflects who you are and what you offer.
What an Author Website can Do for you
When it’s done right, your website becomes your most powerful ally:
- A beautiful space to share your latest book, course, or appearance
- A trusted way for readers, podcast hosts, and publicists to find your bio, headshot, and links
- A search-optimized platform that helps you rise on Google and get found more often
- A digital presence that builds trust, credibility, and connection
- A way to collect email subscribers and build an audience that grows with you
Even if you’re still writing your first book, your website can help you gather names,
build excitement, and prepare for a strong book launch.

Who Should You Hire to Build Your Author Website?
There are a few options…
Agencies offer everything from design to PR, but they can be expensive and impersonal.
Developers can custom-code anything, but that’s often more than an author needs—and more expensive too.
Web designers like me? We’re the middle path: creative + technical, with SEO baked in and pricing that respects your budget.
If you want a site that looks beautiful, ranks on Google, and supports your growth—without the tech overwhelm—this is your best place to start.
I also help set up your:
- Email opt-in forms
- Autoresponder series
- Book showcase
- Event calendar
- Podcast/media links
So your site isn’t just pretty—it’s profitable and strategic.
When Should You Launch Your Website?
As soon as you can.
Here’s why:
- It takes time for Google to recognize your site
- Building an email list before launch gives you a pool of buyers on day one
- You’ll build credibility and anticipation in advance
- Media hosts and publicists want a link to share—and it shouldn’t be your Facebook profile
Even a one-page site is enough to start.
And when you’re ready to grow, we can grow it together.
What About Domain Names?
If YourName.com is already taken, try:
And yes—if your book title is available as a domain, get that too.
Then we’ll redirect it to your main website.
That way, no matter what someone searches for, they’ll find you.
Why Self-Published Authors Need a Website
Over 90% of authors today self-publish—and with that freedom comes responsibility.
A self-published author website:
- Makes you look credible and established
- Attracts readers, bloggers, and podcast hosts
- Builds your brand outside of Amazon
- Helps you grow an email list (your most important long-term asset)
- Positions you for success without relying on ads or social media trends
