Told Berg I needed a simple author website and they nailed it in two weeks. Clean design, books front and centre, newsletter signup, done.

What Should an Author Website Include?

An effective author website includes a home page that shows your latest book, an about page, a page for each book with retailer buy links, a newsletter signup, and a contact page. Authors who speak or do interviews should add a media kit, and series authors need reading-order pages. Use your name as the domain so the site works for every future book.

Our Commitments

Your Site, Your Data, Your Privacy

You own everything

Domain registered in your name, full admin access, and site files at handover. No lock-in.

Privacy by default

We never publish your home address. For newsletters, which legally need a postal address in the US, we recommend a P.O. box or mailbox service.

Accessible design

Readable type, good contrast, alt text, and keyboard-friendly navigation.

Help Google and AI Search Understand You

When someone searches your name or asks an AI assistant about your books, your own site should be the clearest, most reliable source. We add structured data like this to connect you, your books, and your profiles:

Author Website Questions

Most authors benefit from one. Retailer and social profiles belong to those platforms, while a website is the one place you control: it holds your mailing list signup, every book with buy links, and your media information, and it gives search engines and AI tools a reliable source about you.

At minimum: a home page, an about page, a page for each book with buy links, a newsletter signup, and a contact page. Authors who speak or do media should add a media kit; series authors should add series reading-order pages.

Usually your name, such as yourname.com, because it works for every future book. Use a book or series domain only for special cases, and point it to your main author site.

It depends on the number of pages and books, custom design, and integrations like newsletters or a store. Ongoing costs usually include your domain and hosting. We provide a fixed written quote after a short call.

Yes. The domain is registered in your name and you receive full admin access and site files at handover, so you can change providers anytime.

Avoid listing your home address on your website. US commercial email rules require a valid physical postal address in marketing emails, and many authors use a P.O. box or a registered mailbox for that.

Yes. We structure pages around your name and books, add Person and Book structured data, connect your profiles, and set up Google Search Console. Rankings can't be guaranteed, but these steps help search engines and AI tools identify you correctly.

Yes. We build on a platform you can edit, and include a short walkthrough on adding books, editing pages, and posting updates.
