Getting a
new website should be fun and easy

Getting a new website can be nerve-wracking. Aside from the stress
of selecting a designer (how should you even do that?) and the knowledge
that you're going to fork over a chunk of change for something that's
going to help promote your writing career, you've still got to eventually write a welcome and a bio
(there's that wracking on the nerves again) and figure out what else you
want to say.
And then you've got to choose how it's going to look? Colors,
fonts, graphics, monochromatic, HTML, CSS, hosts, domains, plug-ins, widgets, whoozits and whatsits?
Sheesh! What's a writer with awesome talent and Times
list potential to do? Don't worry...
I'm here to help
I pride myself on making the process as easy on
you as possible. I have a knack for breaking things down and
explaining them well, and I have a magical power that
enables me to know exactly what you'd like in your website.
Okay, so it might have more to do with the rather
extensive,
awesome questionnaire I've
developed and the three very
different drafts I design for you
to look over, but my magic wand helps out, too.
Your website
should reflect your writing
Whether you write literary or popular fiction, contemporary or
historical stories, suspense or romances (or both), your website should
give your visitors a visual impression of exactly what you write about.
It should sell your writing to readers if you're published, and to
agents and editors if you aren't published yet. In short, your
website should rock your writing.
Your website should reflect you as an author
Are you elegant? Spunky? Fun-loving? Sexy?
Charming? Bubbly? Soulful? Spontaneous? Whatever
would come across at a book signing or an agent interview should also
come across to visitors to your website.
Your website's graphics, your site's style, and
the
feel of your website should convey your
voice as much as the words you put on the page.
And...
Every writer deserves all of that, plus beautiful
graphics, clean code, and quality search engine optimization in a
professional website that conveys your
passion for your writing,
your characters, and the stories they tell you.

Let's
do it ...
If all of that sounds like what you want and how you'd like to get it, fill out my
contact form, or shoot me an
email. Or, if
you're not quite ready to commit yet, stick around and take a look at my
portfolio, or a little bit
about me. And if you just can't get
enough of me, take a look at
my blog
where I talk about my own writing process.

A little note on the design of this website:
I like
pink, pretty much all shades. I like girly pink. I
like delicate, ballet slipper pink. But I really love the bright,
sharp attitude of hot pink--pinkberry, magenta, red violet--whatever Crayola is calling it this year.
And the font, which I picked for it's aesthetic value, is called
"Boys are Gross." Seriously. And while I've matured way past the point of
thinking that boys actually are gross, the name of the font
just tickles me ...well, Iet's just say I think it's cute.
