Overview

I am a professional web designer and developer with over 7 years of experience. I specialize in creating websites for fresh and seasoned authors.

Whether you are a fresh author and you need to build your brand and a website, or you already have one but you are looking for customization, I can help you find the best solution.

I’m experienced in working with user experience and user behavior, for this reason I know how important it is to design engaging websites for your readers to find what they are looking for. Every website I create is custom built to fit your brand and your audience needs and goals.

My focus is to build not only beautiful but effective websites that bring in leads, new readers and sales. Accordingly, I can create SEO-friendly, mobile-optimized websites that would bring more visibility to you and your books. Also, I can integrate newsletter and contact forms for you to reach your audience more effectively.

Once your website is ready to go live, I can provide you with short tutorials on how to edit and update your site, add content, adjust settings etc.

I build websites using WordPress, Squarespace and Shopify. These tools provide an extensive level of customization and are effortless to use when it comes to managing content.

Let’s discuss your project and find an effective solution to reach your targets.

Dana Edwards
Arturas was a pleasure to work with. He met my expectations when creating my author site and he was willing to answer all of my questions as a first time author. Would definitely recommend him!

Arthur Shears
Arturas was critical in getting my WordPress site set up to run WooCommerce. He was respectful and considerate in responding to questions and even followed up after the contract officially ended.

David Scott
Arturas was amazing. Best website developer I could have asked for. He was consistently ahead of schedule and replied so quickly I'm not sure if he actually sleeps.

David Scott, August 2022


Laurel Vornovitsky
Arturas was easy to work with, fast, responsive and professional. I am very happy with the website he developed for me. I highly recommend him if you're in need of help with your website!

Marcia Treadway
Arturas Aranin showed great consideration of my ideas and questions during the design process. His attentiveness and professionalism were top notch. I am new to most of social media and website design, implementation and launch was something I have never done. He helped me through the learning process once the website was finished. I highly recommend Arturas.
