Overview
Congrats on your new (or existing) book! I look forward to hearing about it and building or working on your website. In today's digital age, books and reading are more important than ever. I'm passionate about doing my part in maintaining this part of society and civilization.
KEY SELLING POINTS
--------------------------------------
• I work with any genre
• Fully transparent
• One of the fastest designers on the marketplace
• Works with most budgets
• I make web design concepts and processes easy to understand
MY WEB DESIGN BACKGROUND
--------------------------------------
I designed my first website in 2002 for $75. (It was for a local author!) I was 12 years old. The internet is second nature to me. I worked at an agency in NYC for a brief period but have been fully freelance since 2011. I've consulted and designed for start ups, national brands, and non profits and now over a dozen authors here on Reedsy.
Strength in client relations, business acumen and technical web design and marketing skill allow me to help my clients understand their digital marketing initiatives in down-to-Earth, non-techie language and concepts.
COLLABORATIVE PHILOSOPHY
--------------------------------------
As a solopreneur, like most authors on Reedsy, I can relate to the one-person operation you are likely running. I keep this in mind while creating my offers and I treat your project as it's my own.
Additionally, I’m fully transparent; no-nonsense or beating around the bush. I'm highly communicative and direct. I don’t answer questions with boiler plate responses and I don’t make promises without all the info.

This is a simple and clean website for a Reedsy author's book.

This site uses WooCommerce and WordPress. This is an example of a "simple" design.
