Author and book websites

A home for your book online.

When someone hears you speak or picks up your book, they'll look you up. We'll build a clean, simple site that tells them who you are, shows them your book, and gives them a way to buy it or reach you.

Book + Website bundle: save 10%

Publishing your book with Oil & Ink and building your website at the same time? We'll take 10% off whichever one costs less. Both have to be signed up for together, not one now and one later. Fill out the book questionnaire and the website questionnaire, and you'll see your savings before you send.

What we'll need from you

Your book cover and author photo
Your bio and book description, or we can write them
The links where your book is sold
Your web address, or we can buy one for you

Your web address

Your web address, like yourname.com, is yours. It's registered in your name and costs about $15 a year, paid to the company it's registered with. Hosting is covered by your $15 a month hosting and care plan.

Publishing with us?

If we're publishing your book, we'll use the cover, description, and bio we've already made together, so your website comes together fast.

Payment

Half when we start and half when your site is ready to go live. The $15 a month hosting and care plan starts the month your site goes live and is billed automatically each month.
