What authors are saying...
“This is a lifesaver. I’ve made websites in the past, but this modular solution cuts through all the hard thinking and presents us with the essentials. Thank you so much for taking the heavy lifting out of this part of my self-publishing process. Now I can focus on my writing and save my energy for my creativity.”
“I’ve had a lot of author websites over the years and this is BY FAR the easiest to set up and most functional and professional looking. It’s exactly what authors need.”
“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!”
