You get to choose from our pre-made author website templates. Once you’ve found a template you like, you can personalize it with one of our color combinations. We make choosing easy.
Keep your blog on your website. Having your blog integrated with your website is a great way to build your author brand. Why would you make your readers scour the internet to find out more about you? Studies have shown that websites with integrated blogs have an average of 55% more traffic than websites without blogs.
If you own a domain, you need domain mapping. It points a registered domain name (mysamplesite.com) to another site such as WordPress. In order for readers to see your url as mysamplesite.com/blog instead of mysamplesite.wordpress.com, the content has to be mapped.
We let you build as many pages as you need. Some of our competitors limit you to 20 pages. We think that’s silly. You have more to say and we aren’t going to stop you. Take advantage of this feature and write to your hearts content.
Websites are more than words. YouTube integration makes it easy to share your favorite YouTube content with your readers. Is there a video that you want to write a blog post about? With one click, you can embed the video so your readers can watch it without leaving your site.
Let your readers do your marketing by embedding social share buttons. With a few clicks, your readers will be sharing your content with all of their friends on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn. Social sharing is how content goes viral and the next big author is discovered.
Invite your readers to connect with you on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and other social networks. Cultivating a tight network of readers will transform them into engaged fans. Having social icons embedded on your site will make it easy for them to find your profile.
You may have a great website but your readers won’t care if they can’t find it. We will use basic search engine optimization to make your blog visible to people searching for you. SEO will help new readers find you – you won’t have to go find them.
One of the secrets of becoming a successful author is being accessible. By having a contact form, you’ll be able to get to know your target audience on a whole new level without having to give out your personal email address on the internet.
Find out where your readers are coming from. Are there certain things they come to your site looking for? How long do they stay on your site? Knowing that kind of data will help you tailor your writing, increase your fan base, and cultivate the kind of numbers you’ve been dreaming of.
If you have a website problem, the answer if just one support ticket away. Our team of experts will find the solution for your problem and resolve the issue for you. Support tickets vary in price according to your package level. However, our level of dedication will always stay the same.
We offer various levels of website storage for you to stow away your text, images, and other site content. We’ll work with you to identify how much you will need. Think of it like a physical storage locker. You can’t put a boat in a container that’s the size of a closet. And you don’t need a mega locker if all you have is a few shoe-boxes of pictures.
