FAQs
How long does it take to build an author web site?
 There are multiple steps to designing a writer web site -- from the first flat picture of what it might look like through coding and content generation. The speed at which the site is completed is often determined by the author. The faster the client provides comments and feedback on the design and creates the content for the web pages, the sooner the site will be completed. A site can be created in as little as three weeks, but the process usually takes more like six weeks.
Do I need to know anything about websites?
No ... although it's great if you do. We have worked with a variety of authors -- from those who are web-savvy to those who are allergic to computers. You can have as much or as little input as you'd like in the process. The site we build for you will cater to your specific needs and preferences, regardless of your web experience.
What's blogging?
A blog, short for "web log" is a regularly-updated online journal. Authors frequently blog to increase traffic to their websites and keep the content on their sites fresh for returning visitors.
Is there a time commitment involved?
We will build you a site specifically catering to the level of involvement you want to have post-launch. If you want to blog, answer reader questions or participate in a message board, we will build you that functionality. If you want to build a site and never have to touch it again, we can do that as well.
Can I update my writer site myself?
That depends on what type of site you opt for. Should you choose a WordPress-based site, you can update the site on your own without knowing any web code! If you know how to use Microsoft Word, you can update your own site. Should you decide to go with one of our other design options, then it's necessary that you have someone with experience in web coding do the majority of your site updates. We offer that service, but you're not required to use it. With any site design, should you opt to have a blog, you can update it on your own.
What kind of marketing do you do for author websites?
Several basic marketing services are included in the price of building the site, including search engine optimization and registration forms for e-mail newsletters. More advanced services are offered post-launch, including search engine marketing, newsletter distribution, social networking services, grassroots marketing efforts, and more. We will be happy to put together a personalized marketing plan for our authors after their site is built, just as we put together a personalized site design and content plan in the initial proposal.
