In today’s digital landscape, having an author website isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. Whether launching your first book or managing an expanding backlist, your website becomes the central hub for your brand, books, and readers.

It’s more than a portfolio — it’s a marketing powerhouse that builds visibility, strengthens your author identity, and supports long-term book sales.

Your Website = Your Author Brand

When readers, reviewers, or industry professionals look you up, your website is often their first impression. A professional, custom-designed author website offers a cohesive space to showcase who you are and what you write — all on your terms.

With Gatekeeper Press’ Author Website Service, you can choose from a range of professionally crafted pages, such as:

  • Home Page with an inviting overview of your author identity
  • About the Author section to share your story
  • Book Overview highlighting your latest or complete catalog
  • Reviews, Media, or Events Pages to build trust and authority
  • Contact Page so readers and media can reach you directly

Each website is tailored to your brand and vision, and you maintain complete control and ownership once it’s live.

Boost Sales with an Optional Shop Page Add-On

Want to sell your book directly to readers? We’ve made that easier than ever.

Our Author Website Service includes an optional Shop Page add-on, giving you the ability to:

  • Sell your book directly through your website
  • Set up fulfillment seamlessly so orders go directly to your customers

This direct-to-reader feature increases profit margins and helps you build closer relationships with your audience.

Improve Visibility Through SEO & Marketing Integration

Your author website also increases your visibility online through search engine optimization (SEO) — helping readers find you when they search your name, book titles, or key topics.

Beyond visibility, your website strengthens your entire marketing ecosystem:

  • Drive traffic from social media and give followers a home base
  • Link from email campaigns to blog posts, updates, or purchase options
  • Highlight press or interviews with a dedicated media page

Your website is a long-term investment that works for you around the clock.
