Author & Book Web sites and Marketing - We
Build Web Sites for Fiction and Non-Fiction Authors
Web design
and the Author
A Web site is a powerful marketing
tool, and as an author, you ought to seriously consider building
a website to market your book. If you don't, you're missing one
of the biggest opportunities to sell. In fact, if you have an
author website you will be more desirable in the eyes of publishers
and imprints. So even if you don't have a book contract yet, setting
up a website specifically for your book and explaining your marketing
plans in your book proposal will improve your chances of getting
published. In fact, a website that is an online book proposal
is a fantastic idea.
By promoting your book online, you
can generate many more book sales than you would have without
an author website. By getting your book website's link on as many
Web sites as possible, search engine optimizing your website,
writing short articles that augment your book and getting those
published, and many other e-marketing strategies will generate
traffic to your website and lead to more sales of your new book.
But first you need a website.
If you already have a book contract
and publisher, then it is time for you to start planning a new
book or author website. That's where we come in. We will build
your book website, or your author website if you have more than
one book already, and then we'll e-market it using numerous tried
and true e-marketing strategies.
An Author is a Small Business
If you are an author, then your name
and books are your small business. Publishers today (unfortunately)
think about the bottom line first, then quality, style and art
second. So the more prepared you are for generating money for
your potential or existing publisher, the better. But we realize
that your book(s) is art, and that the message you communicate
through your book should also be communicated, both verbally and
graphically, through your website.
Any small business has many unique
business needs and we understand that most business want an inexpensive,
but reliable website that produces leads and sales. In today's
business environment, a Web site is crucial to the success of
any company or author, including small businesses. If you own
a small business and are considering getting a new Web site, or
you want to re-vamp an existing, out-of-date website, think about
hiring a professional Web design firm to help you.
We are a professional Web design business
that understands the needs of small businesses. Indeed, we are
a small business ourselves and know exactly what it is like to
nurture and grow a business with little money but a lot of pride
and passion. We understand that you wear many hats as a small
business owner. We know that you have little time and probably
not a lot of money to devote to a Web site building project.
That's way we make it simple for you.
We determine along with you what your specific business needs
are, and how you expect to generate leads and revenue from your
small business website. We discover what messages you are trying
to get across with the design of your Web site. Then we build
mockups for you and help you create the content for the site.
We provide custom design and graphics that you get to keep. And
we have a wide selection of royalty-free images that can be used
on your website too. We are very sensitive to small businesses
with small budgets and will work with you to determine what is
necessary for you to have a successful Web presence. We won't
suggest costly site features, expensive but unneeded functionality,
or artificially inflate the project's cost because we know how
important it is to keep the entire project as inexpensive as possible.
