Most author websites quietly cost authors readers, credibility, and book sales, and the author never finds out why. I'm a Senior WordPress Developer and Elementor Pro Expert with a 100% JOB SUCCESS SCORE and a 5-STAR RATING across every project delivered on Upwork. I specialize in websites for published authors, indie writers, ghostwriters, and personal brands built around a book, designed to feel distinctive, hold up to how agents and readers judge a site, and support real book sales and speaking inquiries. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT I BUILD ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1) Custom author websites in ELEMENTOR PRO, editorial and book-forward, not a prebuilt template 2) Book showcase pages, author bios, and press or media kits that make agents and readers take you seriously 3) Personal brand and authority websites for writers, speakers, and coaches built around a published book 4) Mailing list and reader capture setup so you own your audience, not just a social following 5) Book launch landing pages and speaker one-pagers for a specific title or event 6) Website redesigns for authors moving off Wix, Squarespace, or an outdated site 7) WooCommerce and direct book sales pages when you want to sell outside Amazon 8) PAGE SPEED OPTIMIZATION and Core Web Vitals improvement (under 2-second load targets) 9) Ongoing WORDPRESS MAINTENANCE, security hardening, plugin updates, and BUG FIXES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY AUTHORS HIRE ME ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1) I have worked closely with a published, award-winning author on her own website, an editorial, book-forward design 2) Design treated as intentional decisions, typography, pacing, and atmosphere, not template defaults 3) A site built to hold up to an agent's or editor's first impression, not just look nice to friends 4) Editable layouts you or your assistant can manage without breaking the build 5) Clear scope, honest timelines, and direct communication, no surprise invoices, no scope creep ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ RECENT WORK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Premium literary website for a published, award-winning author with editorial-grade typography and custom motion Personal brand and authority sites for consultants and service businesses built around their published work Freight, logistics, and service business sites with multi-page SEO architecture and content strategy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A FEW THINGS AUTHORS ASK ME ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Q: I am not techy, will I be able to update the site myself? Yes. Every site is built so you or an assistant can update your bio, books, and blog without touching code. Q: Can you work with my existing domain and host, or migrate me somewhere better? Both. I can build on what you have or move you to a faster, more reliable host if yours is holding you back. Q: Do you work with authors outside the US? Yes, I regularly work with authors and writers across the US, Canada, and Europe, on your schedule and time zone. Q: What does a typical author website cost? Most single-author sites fall between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars depending on pages and features. Send me your project and I will give you a clear, honest quote. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Whether you are a first-time author polishing your platform before a launch, a traditionally published writer whose website has not caught up to your work, or a speaker or coach whose book deserves a real home online, I make sure the result looks distinctive, loads fast, and gives your readers a reason to stay. READY TO START? HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: 1) Send your project details or invite me to your job 2) I respond within 1-2 hours (Mon-Sun) with honest feedback on scope and fit 3) If we are a match, you get a fixed quote, clear timeline, and start date, usually within 24 hours 4) No surprise invoices, no scope creep, no chasing for updates Not sure if your project is a fit? Send a quick message, I will tell you straight if I am the right developer or recommend someone better.
