QUALITY AUTHOR WEBSITE

Build Your Author Platform Online with Confidence and Credibility

You have written and published your book. But now you realise readers have no way to find you. They cannot learn about your other books, sign up for your newsletter, or contact you directly.

Many ask how long does it takes to build a website? We deliver within two to three weeks. We offer professional website design for authors. We handle email integration & newsletter setup and content management system setup.

YOUR DIGITAL HOME AS AN AUTHOR

Built on Professional Web Standards for Modern Authors

Most website designers create generic websites that could belong to anyone. They use templates identical to hundreds of other sites. They do not understand what authors need to connect with readers and sell books. Some designers build sites that look beautiful on desktop but break on mobile phones. Others create sites you cannot update on your own, leaving you dependent on them.

Your Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions.

Here are answers to the most common questions authors ask about author websites.

Book Your Consultation
01 What features should an author’s website include? +

A professional author website should include several key features that help you connect with readers and sell books.

First, you need an about page that tells your story and builds a personal connection with readers. This is where readers learn who you are.

Second, you need book pages that showcase your titles with cover images, descriptions, reviews, and purchase links. Every book deserves its own page.

Third, you need a blog or news section where you can share updates and behind the scenes content. This keeps readers engaged between book releases.

Fourth, you need a mailing list signup form so readers can subscribe to your newsletter. Your email list is one of your most valuable assets.

Fifth, you need contact information so readers, media, and event organisers can reach you easily.

You may also want an events page for book signings and readings. An e-commerce section for direct sales is also valuable.

We include all these features in our author website packages. Your site will be complete and professional from day one.

02 How much does a professional author website cost? +

The cost of a professional author website depends on the features and complexity you need.

A basic author website with three to five pages typically costs between 2,500 AED and 4,500 AED. This includes design, setup, and standard functionality.

A comprehensive website with e-commerce, blog, mailing list integration, and multiple book pages costs between 5,000 AED and 8,500 AED. This is our most popular option.

Custom websites with advanced features or unique design requirements may cost more. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific needs.

We also offer annual maintenance packages that include hosting, updates, and security monitoring. These typically cost between 500 AED and 1,500 AED per year.

We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You know exactly what you are paying for before we begin work.

We also offer payment plans so you can spread the cost over several months. Professional websites are accessible to every author.

03 How long does it take to build an author website? +

The timeline for building an author website depends on the complexity of your project.

A basic author website with three to five pages typically takes one to two weeks to complete. This includes design, setup, and content integration.

A comprehensive website with e-commerce, blog, and multiple features takes two to three weeks. We need more time for custom development and testing.

Websites with extensive custom design or complex functionality may take three to four weeks. We ensure everything works perfectly before launch.

The timeline also depends on how quickly you provide content and feedback. Delays in your responses will extend the timeline.

We provide clear timelines before we begin work. You will know exactly when to expect your completed website.

Rush services are available for an additional fee. This can reduce the timeline significantly.

We recommend planning ahead and starting the process at least one month before you need your site live.

04 Can I sell my books directly from my author website? +

Yes absolutely and this is one of the most valuable features of having your own author website.

We integrate e-commerce functionality that allows readers to purchase your books directly from your site. This includes both print books and eBooks.

You can set your own prices and keep a higher percentage of each sale compared to selling through retailers like Amazon.

We integrate payment processing, so transactions are secure and seamless. Readers can pay with credit cards, PayPal, or other methods.

We also handle digital delivery for eBooks, so readers receive their purchase instantly after payment.

For print books, we can integrate with print-on-demand services or manage inventory fulfilment for you.

You also have the option to sell merchandise like signed copies, bookmarks, or other items. Your website becomes a complete online store.

Selling directly from your website gives you more control and higher profits.

05 Will my author website be mobile-responsive and SEO-friendly? +

Yes absolutely and these are two of our highest priorities when building author websites.

Mobile responsiveness means your website looks and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets. More than half of all web traffic comes from mobile devices.

We design every site to adapt seamlessly to different screen sizes. Your readers will have a great experience whether they are on a phone, tablet, or computer.

SEO-friendly means we optimise your site so search engines can find and rank it. This helps readers discover you when they search for authors and books.

We use proper heading structures, meta descriptions, keywords, and fast loading speeds. These factors help your site rank higher in search results.

We also set up Google Analytics so you can track your website traffic and understand your readers better.

We provide training on how to update your site while maintaining SEO best practices. Your site will stay optimised even as you add new content.
