About DesignHoot for Authors

As part of my 20+ years as a professional designer, I have been designing author websites for more than 10 years. I have seen all the changes to book publishing and the unique needs of indie authors over this time.

I started DesignHoot for Authors to provide web design services focused on your needs as an indie author. My goal is to make it easy to create, launch, and maintain your author website so you can grow your author brand.

As an indie author you need a stunning professional website that is as unique as you and your books, while integrating essential author tools like mailing lists and the ability for readers to engage with you and purchase your books. A website from DesignHoot for Authors will put your author brand front and center, whether you sell your books through retailers, direct to your readers, or both.

I bring all of my experience designing websites for everyone from sole proprietors to a Fortune 5 company into the websites I design for my author clients. With more than a decade of bringing author sites to life, I understand the unique needs of writers building an author brand and want to help you with your author journey. Let’s discuss your website needs and make it a reality with DesignHoot. A wise choice when you give a hoot about your author website.

Hi! I’m Jay, the Founder and Principal Designer at DesignHoot for Authors.
