I'm interested in learning more about your work and exploring ways we can collaborate to showcase it on your website.
I founded my Freelance web consultancy business to help authors, small businesses, and non-profits with their online presence.
I work part-time for WAA as a web administrator and offer technical support for their website and other platforms.
Debra's stories are around the French Revolution, vineyards, and strong women fighting for their rights. We wanted to capture all these in the design and of the website. The Eiffel tower is a french landmark and a symbol to commemorate 100 years since the French Revolution, so it felt like a great idea to use it for the lead magnet subscription.
Tim wanted a classy and uplifting vibe for his inspirational book and a playful and colorful look for his upcoming children's picture books. We worked to incorporate both on the website and give each genre its personality.
The website features a shop for selling signed paperbacks, and it's integrated with a shipping platform.
This project was a lot of fun. Simon had a basic website on Google Sites and we decided to scale it up and moved over to WordPress. This not only allowed for more complex integrations but also offered increased flexibility for the design. The book cover was great to work with and it fit a dark theme perfectly.
The website featured a fun animation on the home page, the ability to easily add more books, contact forms, and email list sign-up integrated with Mailerlite.
I worked with Lora D. Roland to create a modern, chic website for her steamy romance books. Peach is her favorite color, so I said why not use it in abundance; it contrasts nicely with the covers and it defines the author's style. I also set up email automation with a lead magnet in Mailerlite and two landing pages to capture subscribers. At the time of posting this, we are still waiting for the cover of the third book and the pre-order link, but I am always happy to update these when they're available, even though the project is technically finalized.
Jodi Burnett writes suspense thrillers with K9 features, and her books are constantly best-sellers. Jodi was looking for an easy-to-navigate layout, clean, uncluttered. We kept the original hero and logo but redesigned and rebuilt everything from scratch. I organized her books with filters by series and book formats, and the entire sitemap was redone. As the previous website was indexed and cached by Google and other search engines, I set up redirects for all the URLs we changed. The loading speed was improved to an A grading from an F, and I replaced all resource-hogging plugins with more performant ones.
New books can be easily added, and all the relevant pages will automatically update.
I loved working on this project, and Jodi had great input and feedback.
Ryburn trusted me with building his website on WordPress and moving away from Weebly.
Ryburn's background in forensic anthropology reflects in his writing. I loved working on this project, and I can't wait to pick up one of Ryburn's books.
The website features his books, a blog, newsletter sign-up via a static form, and a pop-up. Ryburn is also a speaker, and he can be booked via a form on the website.
Jim is a writing techno-thrillers, and he was so kind to let me read the manuscript of The Hawk Enigma ahead of the publication date. I loved the book, and this only added to my passion for working on his project. The website features a blog where Jim shares behind the tech information that got into creating the story. A lead magnet is set up via Mailerlite and subscribers will receive "free intel".
Ursula's website showcases her new book release, Picking Up Breadcrumbs, in a modern, minimalistic style. The website includes a page for upcoming events and speaking engagements, a lead magnet integrated with Mailerlite, a contact form, and it's easy to add more books.
I enjoyed working with Ursula and crafting a website to suit her personality.
Betty wanted a website to showcase her personality as a musician and writer, classy, modern, and joyful.
The website includes a shop for Betty's music and pre-orders for signed copies of her upcoming children's book.
Betty can easily add more books via the custom post type created in the backend.
It was a pleasure working with Betty; her book was being illustrated while working on the website and the cover and the website launch were celebrated with balloons and announcements on her Youtube channel.
Walter Polt's new book release, The Anger Makeover is featured on the newly re-designed Synthesis Journeys website. The Sandia Mountains in the background blend beautifully with the theme bringing to you a modern-looking clutter-free site. Besides the book details and testimonials from people who have benefited from it, Walter is using his tremendous experience to offer coaching programs. With dedicated pages that allow visitors to browse the online courses or contact Walter for a personalized coaching session, everything is designed to offer a premium experience.
This was one of the most fun projects to work with, and you will understand why after seeing it :)
The Dragon Doc, aka Dr. S.K.Burkman is a vet in real life and her blog reflects her tremendous sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed and laughed throughout this project and Sherilynn organized a photo session with real dragons :))
Amity writes western historical fiction and wanted a website to showcase her books and to allow adding new ones easily. Amity also wanted to start a blog on subjects dear to her, and we created a space for this. I loved she went for a dark theme, as it blends beautifully with her style.
I loved working on the redesign of Janis' website. Janis loves the color green and tiger lilies, so I used these in the design. The style of her writing is modern and upbeat and we wanted to capture this with a colorful and modern design. Janis is also passionate about cooking and her several recipes are now beautifully featured in the Cookbook section.
Vince wanted a website for his recent book, A Gift from the Wise Men, and a way to interact with his readers. He is planning to publish blog posts and initiate a discussion based on topics from his book. Readers will post comments and submit their ideas via a contact form.
Deborah Linn is a teacher and a lover of the American written word, especially the American Classics. She is also doing workshops, speaking engagements, and conferences. Her first novel, Just Daisy - A Great Gatsby Retelling, is featured on her brand new website. The theme of the website captures her love for the classic mingled with a modern, clean, minimalist layout.
Antonio wanted a website to showcase his recently published book, Destined to Change. I loved working on this project as Antonio gave me free rein over the design, color scheme, and branding.
The website includes two lead magnets, a donation form, and the option for the author to add more books that will automatically show up under Books.
This was an amazing project to work on. Writers fo Rights is a nonprofit organization, a community of passionate writers, readers, and artists who are looking to create global change with storytelling, art, and action.
The website features membership subscriptions (integrated with PayPaypal and Stripe), Donations, and Events.
WFR's founder, Chela Reyna is a write, editor, and fierce fighter for environment conservation and literacy.
WAA received a grant for offering resources for low-income special needs individuals and their families in WA state. I worked as a volunteer on this project and set up a portal (all with free resources) to suit the needs of easy accessibility, accessibility on all screen sizes, easy use, and a clean interface.
The user needs to register to access the training modules and they get a completion certificate.
Washington Autism Alliance's website was in need of a makeover and I was honored to work on this project.
Their website includes over 100 pages, a generous blog, membership, events, a fundraising platform, a training portal, and a resource directory. This large project was a tremendous source of learning opportunities and I am currently offering them technical support and web maintenance.
