Websites for Independent Authors from £500 | Site Spark
Websites for independent authors

A website that makes a reader trust you before they've bought the book.

Most independent authors sell through a mix of retailer pages and social posts, right up until a reader searches your name and finds nothing to tie it all together. Site Spark builds you a proper author site, your books, your bio and your events in one place, live within a week, from £500.00 a year plus VAT.

One payment a year, not a monthly bill. No design jargon. No waiting weeks for a developer.

How it works

Three steps, one week

No back and forth over briefs or brand guidelines. Just the information a reader needs to see before they buy.

A short form covering your titles, retailer links, author bio and any events or press coverage. Fifteen minutes, done from your phone.

02

We build your site

Your details go into the Site Spark author template: home, book catalogue, about, events, and a mailing list signup.

03

You go live

You review it, ask for any small changes, and it goes live on your own domain, ready for readers to find.

Questions

Before you get in touch

I'm not technical at all, is that a problem?

No. You fill in a short form about your books and bio, and we build the site around it. There's nothing to install and nothing to configure.

I already have social media, do I still need this?

Social media is useful, but it isn't yours, and it doesn't show up when a reader searches your name on Google. A proper website gives you a permanent home for your catalogue, one that isn't at the mercy of an algorithm.

Can I make changes myself after it's live?

Small text and photo changes can be requested any time, so a new release or a new review can go straight on the page. If you want to make bigger changes yourself down the line, we can talk through what that looks like.

What isn't included in the from-£500 price?

Hosting is included from £500.00 a year, plus VAT. If you don't already own a domain name, that's billed separately at cost. Anything beyond the standard template pages, such as direct on-site book sales or a members-only area, is quoted separately.
