Author & Book Websites
I UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF AUTHORS AND THEIR BOOKS
Cybervision Web understands how to design websites for authors and their books because I am a published author too! One of the first things I did after getting my book published was to create a website for his book. You can view my book website here. After my publisher, Melvese Council of Written Words Publishing LLC, saw the website she said, "This is the best looking book website I have ever seen!" Not long afterwards, she hired Cybervision Web to redesign her publishing company's website! She was so pleased with Cybervision Web's work, that she now highly recommends Cybervision Web to all of her published authors who need an author website or a book website!

WHY IS A WEBSITE AN IMPORTANT MARKETING TOOL FOR AN AUTHOR?
Your website gives you something that social media, online bookstores, and other third-party platforms cannot—a digital home built entirely around you and your books.
An Author Website or Book Website allows you to control how your work is presented, build credibility with potential readers, and give people one convenient place to learn more about you and your books.
A professionally designed website can help you:
-
Build credibility and establish your author brand.
-
Showcase your books with covers, descriptions, excerpts, reviews, and purchasing information.
-
Give readers direct links to purchase your books from their preferred retailers.
-
Feature Book Trailers and other promotional videos that bring your books to life.
-
Promote upcoming releases, book signings, speaking engagements, interviews, and other events.
-
Create dedicated landing pages for advertising campaigns, new releases, special promotions, or individual books.
-
Connect with readers and provide a central location where they can continue following your work.
-
Build an online presence that you control rather than relying entirely on social media platforms and third-party retailers.
Authors who are able to sell books directly through their websites may also have opportunities to retain a larger portion of each sale than through some third-party retail channels.
Most importantly, your website becomes the central hub of your book marketing strategy. Your social media posts, Book Trailers, advertisements, interviews, email campaigns, and other promotional efforts can all direct potential readers back to one place where they can learn more about your books—and take the next step toward becoming a reader.
WHAT SHOULD AN AUTHOR OR BOOK WEBSITE INCLUDE?
When designing an author website or book website, there are a number of pages that are important to include. These pages include:
- Home - Your Home page is the first impression you will give potential readers concerning your book and why they must purchase it.
- Book Description(s) - This is the page where you tell your potential readers what you book is all about. It is a chance to get them excited about what your book is about.
- Read Excerpt(s) - On this page, you give your readers an opportunity to read an excerpt of your book(s) so they can make an informed decision whether to purchase your book. It's the old "try before you buy" adage.
- Book Trailer - This is the newest trend in book marketing! A cinematic trailer for your book is the equivalent to a movie trailer for a motion picture. They are great for sharing on your social media platforms. Cybervision Web now offers Book Trailer services.
- About The Author - This page allows you to tell potential readers all about yourself.
- Buy Now! - This page is a call to action letting readers know that this is the page where they can purchase your book
- Media Features - This page showcases various media platforms that have featured you and/or your book(s).
- Reviews - This page is a collection of reviews from people who have already read your book(s). Positive reviews help boost sales!
- Contact - This page is where people can contact you for questions and inquiries.
