Debra's stories are around the French Revolution, vineyards, and strong women fighting for their rights. We wanted to capture all these in the design and of the website. The Eiffel tower is a french landmark and a symbol to commemorate 100 years since the French Revolution, so it felt like a great idea to use it for the lead magnet subscription.

The website featured a fun animation on the home page, the ability to easily add more books, contact forms, and email list sign-up integrated with Mailerlite.

Lora D. Roland (loradroland.com)

I worked with Lora D. Roland to create a modern, chic website for her steamy romance books. Peach is her favorite color, so I said why not use it in abundance; it contrasts nicely with the covers and it defines the author's style. I also set up email automation with a lead magnet in Mailerlite and two landing pages to capture subscribers. At the time of posting this, we are still waiting for the cover of the third book and the pre-order link, but I am always happy to update these when they're available, even though the project is technically finalized.

Jodi Burnett - website redesign (jodi-burnett.com)

Jodi Burnett writes suspense thrillers with K9 features, and her books are constantly best-sellers. Jodi was looking for an easy-to-navigate layout, clean, uncluttered. We kept the original hero and logo but redesigned and rebuilt everything from scratch. I organized her books with filters by series and book formats, and the entire sitemap was redone. As the previous website was indexed and cached by Google and other search engines, I set up redirects for all the URLs we changed. The loading speed was improved to an A grading from an F, and I replaced all resource-hogging plugins with more performant ones.
New books can be easily added, and all the relevant pages will automatically update.
I loved working on this project, and Jodi had great input and feedback.

Ryburn Dobbs - author website (ryburndobbs.com)

Ryburn trusted me with building his website on WordPress and moving away from Weebly.

A lead magnet is set up via Mailerlite and subscribers will receive "free intel".

I loved working on the redesign of Janis' website. Janis loves the color green and tiger lilies, so I used these in the design. The style of her writing is modern and upbeat and we wanted to capture this with a colorful and modern design. Janis is also passionate about cooking and her several recipes are now beautifully featured in the Cookbook section.

Author Anthony Cassino (acassinonovel.com)

Anthony's first novel, Pious is a fast-paced thriller, exploring subjects like religion, LGBTQ, and the problems faced by the African American people. I wanted to capture Anthony's retro style into the design of the website.

Author Antonio Rosario Ortiz

Antonio wanted a website to showcase his recently published book, Destined to Change. I loved working on this project as Antonio gave me free rein over the design, color scheme, and branding.
The website includes two lead magnets, a donation form, and the option for the author to add more books that will automatically show up under Books.
