AUTHOR WEBSITES
In today’s digital age, an online presence is essential for authors. At Izzy & Jack, we specialise in crafting bespoke, high-end websites that not only showcase your work as an author, but also reflect your unique voice and style.
These are not paste and copy websites or templates - every website we make is built from scratch to your specifications. So you get a completely unique website full of character that reflects YOU as an author and draws in readers.
Not only do you get a website people will want to visit, but every site also comes with free hosting, your own domain name, a custom author email, and much more at a price that other companies just cannot beat.
We work WITH our authors. You’re in control of the style, content, and colors— or you can just leave it all to us and we’ll bring your brand to life for you!
All of our websites come with one year of;
After the first year, you can

*shop content handled by author
How long does it take to complete a website?
It depends on the package and services you choose, but usually our designers have a first draft within a month and then take a few more weeks to polish everything up.
Where do you get all of the photos and content from?
You should already have lots of content we can use; your logo, illustrations used inside your books, photos of you as an author, pictures of your books on a shelf and so on. We have our own illustrators and designers who can compliment this with assets and designs that match your theme.
And if you don’t have anything we can use? Our marketing team can help you out!
How do the eCommerce stores work?
We set up an entire online store on your website for you that is fully integrated and ready to go. Once it has been completed, you can login the ‘back office’ with the details we give you and upload your products.
You are then fully responsible for tracking sales, sending your products and handling customers and orders.
Once my website is made, do you market it for me?
We don’t include marketing packages with our websites, however if you need help marketing then send us an email and we can chat about what services our marketing team can offer you!
What security do you provide to protect me and my visitors?
We take online security very seriously. All of our sites have a secure SSL certificate installed and if you’ve chosen to take payments inside your site, then we will install the proper protocols in accordance with UK law to ensure all visitors are safe when using your site.
We also install spam detection services and firewalls as part of every package to protect you and your visitors.
Do you write the text and content?
We will ask you for the written content such as your author bio, an introduction into your books and what inspired you, and so on, and use this as the copy on your site.
If you don’t want to use your own words you can use our copywriting add-on and we will have our professional editor and marketing expert collaborate on writing compelling copy for the entire site for you.
I know absolutely nothing about how websites work, do I have to do anything when it is finished?
Not at all! You can leave the website running and never log into your back office if you really don’t want to!
However we have created an indepth and easy to follow guidebook for our authors which helps you learn all about your website. It includes help on basic tasks like how to login and change your password all the way up to complex activities such as creating blog articles.
We also have a writer’s hangout which features step-by-step videos you can watch to see how things are done, and if you’re stuck at any time - you can email us and we will be here to help you always!
Once my site is finished, can I or another company I hire, make changes or mess around with it?
Yes! Your site is yours to do whatever you want with. While we will be hosting it for the first year, you can make changes, add content, delete content, hire other companies to work on it or just play around and see what happens.
We must stress though, that we are not responsible if you make a mistake and ruin your wonderful website! Rebuilding a site that you or someone you hired broke is not included in the package and will incur an extra fee.

What additional costs might there be in the future?
Maintenance fees
Your site already comes with technical updates, regular backups, support and help. However if you want us to do some additional work that isn’t included in your package, it’s good to know what kind of fees you might be looking at in the future.
