Chad Lewine – Web Developer

Congrats on your book! Whether it's your first or your tenth, I look forward to helping you showcase and sell it. Books and reading matter more than ever, and I'm passionate about doing my part to support the authors who keep that alive.

NOTE: I only take on 3 projects per month so I can give each one the attention it deserves.

Your website shouldn't look like every other author's website, and it won't, because I don't use templates.

I'm Chad L, a human-led, AI-assisted web designer. What that means in plain English is that I direct advanced AI tools to build your website from scratch, completely custom to you. No page builders, no drag-and-drop, no theme you share with 1,000 other authors.

--- WHY ME ---

My very first client was a local author. It was 2002. I was 12 years old and I charged $75. Over two decades later, I've built for 250+ clients, including dozens of authors across every genre right here on Reedsy, where I have 32 five-star reviews.

As a solopreneur myself, I relate to the one-person operation you're likely running, and I treat your project like it's my own. I'm fully transparent, highly communicative, and direct. No boilerplate responses, no beating around the bush, and no promises without all the info.

--- WHAT AI-ASSISTED MEANS FOR YOU ---

A custom website that used to take 2-4 weeks can now be delivered in days. You get custom-built quality at a fraction of the old agency cost because AI handles the heavy lifting while I make every design and strategy decision. You own everything when it's done. No subscriptions, no vendor lock-in, no monthly ransom to keep your site alive.

--- ONE QUESTION THAT SHAPES EVERYTHING ---

Do you actually need to edit the site yourself? Most authors who think they need full control over their website never end up touching it themselves.

If your updates are occasional, I handle that for you as part of an affordable maintenance plan.

If you genuinely need to be in the site daily or weekly managing content hands-on, we can absolutely build for that, it just changes the process and the investment slightly. This is one of the first things we talk about on our call.

--- WHAT I DON'T DO ---

• Squarespace, Wix, Divi, Elementor, or any other web-based site builders

• Graphic (cover) design (happy to refer you to someone great)

• Social media community management

If any of those are what you're after, no hard feelings, but I'm probably not your guy.

--- HOW IT WORKS ---

Book a free 20-minute call and we'll talk about your vision, your books, and your audience. I'll tell you honestly what you need and what you don't, and if we're a fit, I build fast. I always reply within 24 working hours.

Looking forward to meeting you,

Chad
