Absolutely! You don't need to know exactly what your website needs before reaching out.

Tell me a little about your current website (if you have one) and what you're hoping to accomplish. I'll help you determine whether a quick fix, a visual refresh, or a completely new website makes the most sense for your goals and budget.

Yes! I'm currently offering special introductory rates as I launch my author website services. Pricing may increase as my availability and portfolio grow. Your quoted project price will be confirmed before booking.

I work with a variety of website platforms and am happy to explore options based on your project's needs.

If you already have a website, we'll start by discussing your current platform and what you'd like to accomplish. I'll review your setup to determine the best approach for your project.

If you're building a new website, I'll help you choose a platform that fits your goals, budget, and comfort level with managing your site.

My goal is to find the right solution for you—not force you into a particular platform. Platform compatibility and project scope will always be confirmed before booking.

The exact requirements will depend on your project, but I'll guide you through everything you need to get started!

For most projects, you'll need to provide:

• Website content: Written copy, book covers, author photos, purchase links, and any other materials you'd like included.

• Branding and inspiration: Existing logos, brand colors, or examples of websites you love (if you have them).

• Website access: Appropriate access to your website platform, hosting, domain settings, or other connected services, depending on the work we're doing.

• Feedback and approvals: Your input during the design process and timely feedback at agreed-upon milestones.

Don't worry if you don't have an established author brand or aren't sure how to organize your content. I'll help you determine what's needed and guide you through the process.

For security, I'll use collaborator invitations or other secure access methods whenever possible. You'll never need to share your passwords through an inquiry form.

Full copywriting, professional photography, and original artwork aren't included in the standard packages.

That's completely fine! You don't need a professional logo or complete brand kit to have a beautiful author website.

For Website Refresh and Custom Author Website projects, we'll discuss your books, genre, aesthetic preferences, and the impression you want to make on readers. I'll use that information to help develop a cohesive visual direction.

Full logo design and brand identity development aren't included in the standard packages.

No. My service fees cover the agreed design or technical work. Domain registration, hosting, website subscriptions, premium plugins, and other third-party services are billed separately.

For new websites, I'll help you understand the available options and their ongoing costs before you commit to a platform.

You'll own your website accounts and pay those providers directly.

Every project is a little different! Timelines depend on the size and complexity of your website, the services you need, and the availability of your content and feedback.

I'll provide an estimated timeline before work begins. For larger projects, the development timeline starts once I've received the required materials.

Website Essentials projects are paid in full before work begins.

For Website Refresh and Custom Author Website projects, a 50% deposit is required to reserve your project, with the remaining balance due before launch or final handoff.

You'll receive a clear proposal outlining the scope, price, and payment schedule before committing.

Yes! One of my goals is to create websites that authors feel comfortable managing.

For Custom Author Website projects, I'll walk you through the basics of updating your content, adding books, and making everyday changes. Website Refresh projects also include a brief handoff.

If you need additional help down the road, Website Essentials is available for updates, troubleshooting, and other small website tasks.

Absolutely! If you're interested in selling signed books, special editions, merchandise, or other products directly from your website, we can discuss e-commerce options during your consultation.

E-commerce functionality—including online storefronts, shopping carts, payment processing, and product setup—is not included in the standard service packages.

I'll help you explore suitable options based on your goals, website platform, and budget, and provide a custom quote for any additional setup or integration work.

Please note that e-commerce platforms and payment processors may also have additional subscription or transaction fees.
