Author Websites & Book Websites
WE UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF AUTHORS AND THEIR BOOKS
Cybervision Web understands how to design websites for authors and their books because our owner is an author too! One of the first things he did after getting his book published was to create a website for his book. You can view his book website here. After his 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.

AN AUTHOR WEBSITE OR BOOK WEBSITE IS A CRUCIAL MARKETING TOOL
As a published author myself, one of the first things I did to help market my book was to create a website for it. I believe that a book website, or author website if you have published multiple books, is a crucial marketing tool. You website can inform potential readers what your book is about, give them a chance to read an excerpt of your book, and most importantly, an opportunity to purchase your book. Books sold through your website, either by selling copies you already possess or are sold directly through your publisher, also give you a higher profit margin. You can create unique landing pages (like this one) as part of a broader marketing campaign across social media and other media outlets.
ELEMENTS OF AN GOOD AUTHOR WEBSITE OR BOOK WEBSITE
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.
- 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.
