Are you ready to take steps to set up your author website?

How do you approach this monumental task? Writing your book is one thing, but websites can be downright frightening. Do you attempt it yourself? Hire a professional? Which way is best? 

There are three things to look at with each method, technical aspect, time, and budget. 

DIY

Technical Aspect

Building your own website will require skills in several areas, including themes, plugins, and possibly coding. 

Time

Each website builder will require a different level of skills necessary to set up the site and keep it maintained and running smoothly.

Budget

Starts at a lower cost per year for the website editor, domain, and hosting; $80-$200 per year.

Custom Website Designer 

Technical Aspect

A web designer does all the heavy lifting and sets up the site with their knowledge base.

Time

Meet with the designer to share your vision.  

 Budget

The initial cost of a website can be several thousand dollars, and additional development and maintenance would add to the price.

You may be asking yourself, what if I don’t have the skills, time, or budget to get a website up and running. There is another option.
