A Seamless Way to Build Your Brand and Sell More Books
In today’s publishing landscape, having a professionally built website isn’t optional. It’s essential. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Gatekeeper Press’ newest marketing service: the Author Website.
This fully customized service gives indie authors a powerful online presence, with everything you need to showcase your work, grow your audience, and sell books directly to readers—without the stress of building it yourself.
What’s Included
Your Author Website includes:
- A personalized design with up to 5 custom pages
- One year of secure hosting and domain registration
- Ongoing updates and maintenance
- Direct eCommerce functionality tied to your Author Dashboard
- Automated order fulfillment and sales tracking
- A streamlined setup process with a dedicated web designer
Once your site is live, you’ll have admin access to easily update content, images, and more. No coding required.
Why This Matters for Indie Authors
While DIY platforms may offer templates, Gatekeeper Press takes care of everything. We handle the design, setup, hosting, secure fulfillment, and full integration with your publishing assets. Plus, we build your site while your book is still in production so it’s ready before your release date.
This gives you a head start in building your audience, growing your email list, and establishing a strong author brand.
A Seamless Path to Book Sales
Every book sale through your site is fully automated:
- Orders go directly to our trusted printing partner
- Books are printed and shipped to your readers
- Your earnings are calculated transparently and reflected in your Author Dashboard
Here’s how your earnings are calculated:
Retail price
− $1 Gatekeeper fulfillment fee
− $3.50 printer handling fee
− Actual printing cost of the book
= Your net earnings
Simple, Affordable, and Built to Last
After the first year, your hosting and maintenance cost just $29 per month, billed annually. That’s less than one dollar a day for a professional, fully functional author website that grows with your career.
