Helping Authors Across the USA
We see the same problems again and again. A beautiful header and then nothing. A “Books” page with covers but no buy buttons. Most site builders hand you a template and wish you luck.
A book author website has a real job. It should turn a curious visitor into a reader, and a reader into a fan who comes back for the next release. So before we pick a font or a color, we look at the basics.
If the answer to any of these is “not really,” that’s where we start.
Expertise Matters
There’s nothing wrong with templates. They’re just built for everyone, which means they’re built for no one in particular. Our custom author website design starts with your books and works outward from there.
Clearly, a writer who specializes in dark fantasy literature and a parenting expert cannot possibly have the same homepage. We match type, color and images to what your readers expect, so they feel at home the moment the page loads.
Most author site visits come from mobile, often straight from a social post. We design for small screens first and make sure pages load quickly on an average connection.
Adding a new release should take ten minutes, not a support ticket. We use simple editing tools and show you exactly how they work.
Clean code, proper titles, image descriptions and fast load times give your site a fair shot on Google, especially when people search your name or book titles.
Your website, domain, host, content, and subscription list are all under your name. If you ever leave us, you take everything with you.
SSL, updates and backups make your site secure. No one wants to wake up with a compromised home page when your site launches.
The Process
Some authors come to us with nothing but a domain name. Others have a site that’s been patched together for years. Our author website development process works either way, and you’re involved at every stage.
A 30-minute call about your books, your readers and what you want the site to do. More sales? A bigger email list? Speaking gigs? Media coverage? The answer changes what we build.
We sketch out the site map. Most authors need a homepage, book pages, an about page, a contact page and a signup form. Some also need a blog, a media kit, an events page or a store. We’ll tell you honestly what’s worth having and what’s just extra work.
You’ll see your homepage design and one inner page first. We pull colors and fonts from your covers so the site feels like part of your books. You give feedback, we revise & nothing gets built until you are happy.
Our team builds the site, connects your buy links and email tool, sets up basic SEO and checks every page on phones, tablets & desktops. We test every form too, because a broken signup form quietly costs you readers.
Your site goes live. You get a short walkthrough video showing how to add a new book, write a post or update an event. If something breaks or you get stuck, email us and we’ll sort it out.
Get Your Website Services
Not every author needs a full build. Some need a quick fix before a launch. Others want ongoing help. As an author website design company, we keep things flexible so you only pay for what you’ll use.

Everything You Need
Every project is shaped around your goals, but most of the sites we build share the same core pieces. Here’s what comes with our professional author website design.
Homepage: Your latest book up top, one line about what you write and a clear next step.
Book Pages: A page for every title with the cover, blurb, reviews, series order and buy links.
Blog or News: Optional, and only if you’ll use it. An empty blog looks worse than no blog.
Email Signup: Put on the home page, book pages, and the footer, where people actually see it.
Media Kit: Head shots, bios (short and long), books and previous interview appearances by hosts and media.
SEO Basics: Page titles, descriptions, image tags and a sitemap sent to Google.
LET'S BRING YOUR STORY TO LIFE
Every day without an author website is a missed connection, a reader who couldn't find your
books, a media opportunity that went to someone with a stronger online presence, a fan who lost
track of you between releases.
Your story deserves to be found. Let Hancock Publishers build you a website that works as hard as you do.
