Author Web Sites
Purposeful Web Design
Your
Web site should be more than an electronic brochure. It should
convey who you are and what your work is about; in other words, your
brand as an author. We work closely with our clients to create
digital personas for them. Each site is custom designed, based on a
proven process that enables us to articulate your goals and
aesthetics. The result: a site that's truly your online counterpart.

A Turnkey Approach
We'll handle all the details of creating your Web presence, from
concept to design, production, and finished site. We’ll help you
secure or transfer your domain name and host your site on one of our
business-class servers. We'll provide you with extensive reporting
about site traffic and we’ll teach you how to interpret the numbers
so that you can make informed decisions about your marketing and
promotional efforts. In short, we'll take care of the key technology
so you can focus on promoting your current book and writing your
next work.
Content Management that Puts You in the
Driver’s Seat
Once the site is built you’ll have the option of having an
AuthorBytes account rep make changes for you, or you can make changes yourself using the
AuthorBytes Content Management System (CMS). AuthorBytes CMS allows you to easily change
the text on key pages, such as your event listings, news items, and
blurbs for your books. If you can type, you can update your
AuthorBytes site! (Click here to learn more)
