Author websites made simple
A website that works for you
One place for readers, reviewers and media to find everything about you and your books.
Retailer pages and social profiles come and go, and you control very little of either. Without a site of your own, curious readers, event organizers and journalists have nowhere reliable to learn about you or your work.
We design a site around your brand and your books, write it into a clear structure and connect it to the stores where readers buy. You review every page before launch, then the finished website is handed over to you.
Complete author website services
Everything a working author site needs, from design and copy to search setup and launch, handled by one team.
01 02 Book Showcase Pages
Dedicated sections for your titles with covers, descriptions, reader reviews and purchase buttons for Amazon and other retailers.
03 Author Biography
An About page that introduces you, your background and your writing, with professional copy refinement in Author Platform Pro.

Our Professional package covers up to three books, and Author Platform Pro makes room for up to six, so a growing catalog stays organized.
02 — Reader relationships
Turn visitors into subscribers

Author Platform Pro adds a reader-magnet download and newsletter automation, so new subscribers receive something valuable the moment they sign up.
03 — Discoverability
Built to be found in search
Every site includes basic on-page SEO, and our larger packages add keyword research plus Google Analytics and Search Console setup to show how visitors arrive.
Clean structure, mobile optimization and an SSL certificate help your site load securely and read well on every device.
04 — Direct sales
Sell books from your own site

Hello! I'm Melanie 'Babydoll' Wallace, the author of My Foundation. I was struggling to get my book out and needed help. Another author suggested that I contact Sophia Adams Project Manager and it has been a game changer. The team takes care of all the tedious task and I can now focus on me and my events. If you want a solid foundation, you should definitely contact her.

Sophia Adams, Project Manager with KDP was the mind behind my social media marketing campaign. She was there and helped me upload the book on Amazon, Instagram, Facebook, and X. She gave me her time, creativity, and some valuable advice. I will recommend her to any author. She knows the publishing industry and know how to bring you closer to success.

My experience with Kinetic Digital Publishers has been rewarding. This has especially been so with Dexter Mason, a unique talented individual who I feel is one of the many reasons this company has an A rating. He is passionate at what he does, customer focused and friendly. Hats off to Dexter!
