An author website is your platform for books, a blog and talking to readers, where you decide what to publish and how. We build author sites on the Qwetru platform — the side of the platform for writers, bloggers and fan communities: you get a ready site and a control panel in which you run it yourself.
What an author gets
- Books by chapter. You publish a work chapter by chapter; readers follow the table of contents and come back for new chapters.
- A blog. Notes, announcements, reflections — separate from the books, in the same panel.
- Readers next to the text. Comments and discussions, so the conversation happens on your site and not only on social networks.
- Your own domain and your own rules. The site belongs to you: the readers, advertising and profit on it are yours, not a platform's.
- A control panel. You add and edit chapters and posts yourself, without a programmer.
What we do when creating a website for a writer
- we work out what you need: one book, a series, a blog, or all together;
- we build the structure: sections, books, chapters, an author page and contacts;
- we set up the design and responsive layout: the site is comfortable to read on a phone;
- we connect the domain, email and certificate;
- we show you how to publish chapters and posts in the panel, and hand over the site.
An exclusive design for you (a site cover, the author's brand identity) is made by the kb77.ru studio. You write the texts on the site yourself: the content studio seoforger.ru helps authors only with consultations.
How much a website for a writer costs
Prices are the same as on the Shopnseo platform: one-time setup — Start $1,000 (a page or a subdomain), Standard $3,000 (a site and a blog on one domain), Creative $10,000 (any number of domains under one panel). The control panel subscription is paid separately to the Qwetru regional representative. More about tiers and maintenance is on the pricing page.
How to order a website for a writer
Write to info@seowebdev.ru: tell us what your books are about, whether you need a blog, and what you already publish. We will suggest a suitable tier and explain how the work will go. General principles are on the website development page; the design is coded as described in website coding.
