For authors with a specific vision for their online home

When you’re looking to have a beautiful interface that’s custom designed to suit your brand specifications, look, and functionality, and you want not only the behind-the-scenes tech but the presentation to all work seamlessly together in one cohesive platform, a custom author website design with Wix is your best solution.

Unlike our “Basic” website design built on a templated platform that has functionality limitations or our “Room for Growth” design built on a platform that relies on third party plugins, Wix is an elegant solution that delivers on the look and feel you’re after, ensuring your website visitors are in a brand-specific online space that looks and feels exactly like you need it to.

Wix is a comprehensive all-in-one platform that enables you to add functionality without relying on third parties, such as online courses and membership (for an additional cost), so your author website can grow with you as your needs change and your business offerings increase. They offer excellent customer service, fast site speeds, and provide an SEO set-up tool and SEO settings to help your site be found in Internet searches.

The main benefit of using WIX—and the reason for their monthly subscription rate—is WIX handles all security and plugin updates, so you never have to worry about maintaining your site’s health. It is also easy for you to update your own content and images, giving you control over the look and delivery of information of your site.

Choose from their Combo plan, which at $17 USD/month* comes with a custom domain, hosting, and loads of functionality or their Business Basic plan at $26 USD/month*, which comes with all the functionality of the Combo plan but also allows you to accept payments, perfect if you’re selling books, e-books, webinars, or online courses.

*prices are based on annual rate. Monthly rates differ.

How It Works

After purchasing this custom author website design, we’ll send you a questionnaire to give us a detailed sense of how you want to be represented on your site and ask you for your account information. We will then give you instructions for sharing your logo and other brand-specific info and content you wish to use for your 5 pages with us.

Please note you will need to have created an account with Wix prior to the start of work.

Turnaround is typically 2 weeks.

If you need help creating your account, would like a brand design consultation, wish to have us write or edit your content for you, or require any other assistance, please choose the Add-on hourly package, Website Copy Writing package, or contact us so we can help!
