Write,
Write, Write.
Web Site, Web Site, Web Site.
Wait
a minute. Whoever said you had to do it all? Creating
and maintaining a web site should be the last thing on a busy
author's mind. So, do what you love. Write. Let me handle the
rest.
I started
designing author web sites in 1999. Since then, my client list
has grown to sites for author associations and individual
authors. Check out my current client list:
KayHooper.com
KaseyMichaels.com
MaryBlayney.com
JasmineCresswell.com
MaryMcBride.net
CathyMcDavid.com
LeslieLaFoy.com
authorscoalition.org
TAAonline.net
(Text and Academic Authors Association)
Your Web
Site
Of course, authors' needs vary from site to site. To get you started
I've created a "standard author site" design package
for you to get a feel for my costs and what I can provide.
Standard
Author Site
A standard
author site includes 7 web pages, including the following:
- home page
- page for
featured book
- reviews and quotes page
- author bio page
- author contact info page
- book purchase page with links to online booksellers
- book list page
The standard
author site package includes a personalized, unique design (or
"look and feel") for the site. You decide what kind
of a "feel" you want for the site flowery or
contemporary, primary colors or pastels. I then show you a couple
of ideas to choose from.
So, what
does all this cost?
My design and production fees for a standard author site are $700.
Updates are billed at $60 per hour ($30 per half hour). Need additional
stuff? Read on.
Additional
Web Site Services (provided at additional cost):
- purchase
of domain name(s)
- web site hosting and maintenance for $20/month
- site extras: email newsletter, guestbook, etc
- additional book cover scans
- content creation (text for the site)
Additional
Author Services:
- book trailers
NEW!
- bookmarks
- newsletters
- brochures
- specialty items
Hopefully
this info is enough to get you started. Let's discuss your individual
needs. I look forward to hearing from you. Email me at seidick
