Content Preferences

Your answers will give us an idea of the type of design you're looking for. Please don't give boring answers—we want to build you an exciting website!

Would you prefer your site to focus on you as a writer or on a specific work?

Most clients want their site to focus on themselves as a writer, not on one specific book or story.

Do you have any preexisting design elements you'd like us to include? (e.g., logo, letterhead design, banner images, etc.) This can be unpublished work (provided you NEVER plan to submit said work for publication), pieces that have already been published, or short excerpts from longer projects.*

Are there any particular colors you would like to be used on your website? Choose up to three.*

Be as specific as you can here. We want to create a site that you love!

Are there colors you don’t want to use on your website? If so list them here.*

Are there any textures you really like that you would like incorporated into the design (e.g., fabric, foliage, metal, geometric, etc.)?*

Are there any images you really like that you would like incorporated into the background (e.g., you standing, you reading, a certain landscape, etc.)?*

Do you like a varied color scheme (lots of colors) or a more monochromatic look (all blues, all greens, etc.)? Do you prefer a striking color contrast or a more subtle blend?*

Sites can come in two different header/footer configurations: fluid or fixed. Which do you prefer? See example below*

Fluid Header/FooterFixed Header/Footer

Fluid Header/Footer Fixed Header/Footer

Do you prefer websites that have content within solid boundaries or content in an open space?*

Do you like serif fonts (like Times New Roman or Georgia, in which the ends of letters seem to have little “feet”) or do you like sans serif fonts (smooth fonts) like Calibri or Arial?)*

Do you want to add any multimedia elements to your site? If so list them here. (e.g., YouTube videos of your public reading, a slideshow, etc.)*

In addition to your writing credentials, do you envision the inclusion of any other interests, hobbies, or vocations on your site? For instance, we have clients who are actors and musicians, and in addition to their writing bio/credits, they have pages within their site devoted to other interests.*

Do you want to include a photo of yourself?*

YesNo

If you have a book project, do you want to include cover art?*

YesNo

Do you have any other images you would like to include? How many?*

Any images beyond what's included in the package are $10 each.

Writing/Book Information

What specific works would you like featured on your site?*

This can be unpublished work (provided you NEVER plan to submit said work for publication), pieces that have already been published, or short excerpts from longer projects.

Are there any special motifs or recurring themes in your work?*

For example, is there a dog in every book? Are they primarily set in the heartland? Are they thrillers? Comedies?

If you have a book project, does it have a tagline?*
