What authors are saying...
“For years, I put off building a separate website for my pen name. I envisioned design decisions, endless plug-ins, tech glitches, and a thousand little tasks I didn’t have the energy to handle. But with Author Websites, I’m not exaggerating when I say I built my new website in less than 20 minutes. If you’ve been putting off building a site because it feels like too much, this is an easy all-in-one solution.”
“Author Websites has made my life a thousand times easier as an author who is both short on time and technical know-how. I love the variety of templates and the simple interface; I don’t have to worry about fiddling with code or clunky systems every time I want to update my site’s appearance (which is often, as I like to change it based on the aesthetic of my current release!).”
“This is amazing! I’ve been struggling to create a WordPress site all summer, and this let me accomplish exactly what I wanted in less than half an hour. I just needed a place to point readers at my books and let them sign up for my newsletter. Thanks for creating something that is actually simple and easy to use!”
