Before your website begins

What should I prepare before my author website begins?

Useful materials include your biography, author photographs, book covers, descriptions, purchasing links, reviews, media details, social profiles, and examples of visual directions you appreciate. Missing material can be identified during planning.

How many pages does an author website need?

The structure depends on your catalog and goals. A focused website may begin with Home, About, Books, Media or News, and Contact, then expand as new titles and opportunities develop.

Will the website work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Layout, typography, navigation, imagery, forms, and calls to action are planned and tested across current desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes.

Can book pages connect to online retailers?

Yes. Each title can include clear purchasing pathways to the retailers or sales destinations you choose.

Can the website grow when I publish another book?

Yes. The information architecture and visual system can be designed to accommodate additional titles, events, articles, media features, and reader resources.

Does the website include search foundations?

The build can include semantic page structure, useful metadata, accessible markup, descriptive image text, performance-aware assets, and other technical foundations that support discoverability.

Will I review the website before launch?

Yes. Review stages allow you to confirm the visual direction, content, responsive behavior, links, forms, and essential functionality before launch.
