Book Website Service

Beyond 'Family & Friends'

One of the most important things an author can do to grow book sales beyond 'family and friends' is to build a professional online presence.

A dedicated book website, combined with a personalised .com domain name, helps strengthen your credibility, discoverability and long-term author visibility online.

The challenge is that commissioning a website independently can often be expensive, time-consuming and produce inconsistent results.
