Client List

Unlimited pages. You need it, I'll build it (except ecommerce, which is extra)

Custom wordmark logo, font pairings, and color palette.

A website built from scratch, just for you, unlike anyone else's.

Unlike most designers, I don't just take care of the pretty stuff, and then hand it back for you to tackle the tech-heavy launch process.  I'll connect your DNS, tell you which website platform you need, deal with your newsletter code, and more.

What You'll Get

New York Times Bestselling Author

Jennifer Probst

“I would happily pay double what I did for this experience. Authors, don’t settle for ‘good enough’ when it comes to your brand and website. Your website is the only corner of the internet that you actually own!"

New York Times Bestselling Author

Monica Murphy

"LL has been managing my website for over a decade, and I couldn't be happier. It always looks stunning, runs flawlessly, and best of all—I never have to worry about a thing, so I can focus on writing my books!"

Client Success Stories

$5,000

Investment

Includes branding, unlimited pages, and launch support.

E-commerce is an extra $1,000.

You are responsible for the cost of your website platform (Showit or Squarespace) as well as your custom domain name.


No, I hate Wordpress. My favorite platform for author websites is Showit.

If you need integrated ecommerce, I'll build on Squarespace. If you need Wix, Weebly, or Wordpress, you also need a different designer. :)

Is this a Wordpress site?

03

In addition to my design fee, you will need a Squarespace or Showit subscription (we can talk about which), plus your domain name, newsletter, etc)

Are there additional costs?

02

Nope. Most designers include 5-6 pages. I'll build 80 book pages if that's how many books you have for the flat fee $5k. (Ecommerce/shop is extra)

Is there a page limit?

Frequently Asked Questions

50% is due upon signing, 50% is due upon handoff. Credit card payments are fine!

Do I have to pay all at once?

04

Yes, I will provide 3 logo options and 3 color palette options for you to choose from. Note that I design elegantly simple wordmark logos. Think Dior, Chanel, Tiffany, Cartier.  But if you want a logo that incorporates heart, a lipstick print, a fireball, or a dragon in your logo, you should plan to hire a different brand designer. Since I think those are goofy, I don't think I do a good job designing them. :) If you have your own branding, I can use that to build your site.

Is branding included?

05

Before we begin, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to share your creative preferences—I want this to be your dream website.

But once I start building, you’ll have one round of revisions to request changes. Over the years, I’ve learned that the “I’ll know it when I see it” approach doesn’t lead to the best results.

If you’re hiring me to build your website, trust me to build your website. But if you prefer unlimited creative control, a DIY template might be your perfect match!

How much say do I get?

06

This service does not come with post-launch maintenance. It does come with video tutorials on how to update your site, or you can hire me for $200 hour whenever you need to add a new preorder, refresh your bio, etc.

How do I keep my site updated when I have a new book release?
