Author websites · built by ReadInk
We build author websites that turn visitors into subscribers, subscribers into readers, and readers into growth — so your website sells while you write.
Most author websites are online business cards: admired occasionally, useless daily. Every site we build is a quiet machine with one job — capture the reader. A free-chapter offer readers actually want, an email list wired to deliver it automatically, buy links that don’t leak sales, and pages structured so Google and AI search can find you and cite you. That is the difference between a website you have and a website that works.
Whichever version you choose, the growth machinery is never an upgrade. It’s the point.
Newsletter signup on every page, a reader-magnet offer configured, and automatic delivery of your free chapter — working while you sleep.
Your cover, your hook, and your buy links above the fold. Visitors know who you are and what to read within three seconds.
Structured book pages with the markup modern search and AI assistants read, so when someone asks about your book, the answer cites you.
Every retailer you sell on, one clean row, ordered your way — no dead ends, no lost sales.
Bios, photos, cover art, and an interview one-sheet — downloadable, so media and event hosts help themselves.
No blog obligation, no plugin jungle, accessible by default. Twenty minutes a month keeps it perfect — and we’ll show you the routine.
The same care, the same conversion engine — sized to where you are. Every price includes the honest total: we tell you the hosting and platform costs upfront, always.

We built a complete demonstration site for a fictional debut author — every page, every feature, exactly as your build would work. Click through it, sign up on it, poke at it on your phone. What you see is what you get, wearing your book instead.
Three steps. You bring the book; we bring everything else.
Our intake workbook draws out every word your site needs — your hook, your bios, your free-chapter offer. An afternoon’s writing, guided.
Design, pages, email wiring, findability — done for you, with one review round to make it exactly yours.
We hand over the keys with a one-hour walkthrough and the monthly care routine. From day one, every visitor can become a subscriber.
The ReadInk way: we’d rather lose a sale than oversell a website.
Ready — or nearly ready
Tell us about your book and we’ll reply within two working days with a straight answer — including “you don’t need us yet,” if that’s the truth. Not ready? Join the list and we’ll send the demo site plus our free guide: The Five Pages Every Author Website Needs.
