Have a seat. Let’s talk.
Sidewalk Café Design exemplifies what I love about café culture: the energy of sharing thoughts over coffee. Cafés are where ideas get cross-pollinated, where grand plans get hatched, where breakthroughs begin.
So let’s sketch some things out on a napkin. Will you be adding content continually? Do you have an existing blog? Are search engine results critical to you? Will you be selling books or other products directly to consumers? Who is your target reader? Starting with questions like these, I’ll help you discover the best options for creating or redesigning your website.
But that’s just the nuts and bolts. We’ll also talk look and feel. Author’s websites are a place where a book can come off the shelf and actively engage readers. We’ll make sure that your online presence hits exactly the right note.
Then, depending on your needs, we offer the following services:
+Website design
Think of this as planning the menu. I’ll take your input, do research on your competitors, and come up with a stunning design. I’ll figure out what content is best where, create intuitive navigation, and strategically place call-to-action items that keep visitors engaged. Your site will be beautiful, but just as important, it will be constructed to get results.
+Website development
This is the actual cooking. Our websites are built using WordPress, a widely used content management system (CMS for short) that has an extensive array of available features. WordPress is simple to use, so you can update your own site without learning a bit of HTML code. (I promise.) We can also incorporate your blog into your website, which is a terrific way to maintain an ongoing relationship with readers and showcase your expertise on topics related to your book.

+Branding, writing, logos and more
I personally design and build websites, but I frequently collaborate with a team of professionals who can also take care of all your branding, writing, logo and search engine optimization needs. We can even make your book into an e-book and make your website work on mobile devices.
Feel free to call me directly with questions, or read more about the website packages I offer.
