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 at ptd.net.
