Squarespace Template Customization Websites for Authors, Podcasters, and Thought Leaders
Two-Week Website Overview
Are you ready to be Googled?
You know you should have a great website; there’s only one problem: you don’t know anything about websites. And ugh, tech. No, thanks.
You also have a book or podcast coming out soon….like next month. You need a website, pronto!
It’s time to ditch feeling embarrassed and frustrated about your website & digital strategy.→ You’ve spent countless hours learning more than you wanted to know about website design, social media, newsletters, content creation, SEO, and blogging — when all you want to do is curl up with your favorite book or listen to your audiobook or podcast at 2x the speed (so many books and podcasts, so little time!).
→ Thanks to YouTube and Google University, you’ve (impressively) pulled together your digital presence. Still, you’re tired of second-guessing this online thing, and your website could definitely use a facelift.
→ You keep hearing about this SEO thing and wonder if it could help grow your writing, coaching, consulting, or speaking career, book sales, or podcast downloads
→ You have a book or podcast launch and want a great website to launch your work and grow your audience.
→ You’ve been putting off updating your website because, ugh, tech.
→ You want to make your website more effective because it isn’t connecting you with the people you’re meant to reach.

Introducing Two-Week Websites
Our two-week website will help you ditch the hassle of building a website that may or may not work for you.
Instead, you’ll get a tailored professional website designed to grow your audience and clientele while you eat, pray, love, or downward dog.
Work with us, and we’ll design a website that elevates your brand, connects you with your people, and sells your services while you sleep (or stay up late binging the latest Mindy Kaling Netflix drop).
Time frame: 2 weeks
Four-Step Design Process:
-
You’ll purchase a Squarespace template, or we can use one you have already purchased. We can suggest Squarespace templates for you, as well. Our favorite Squarespace templates are from GoLiveHQ, which we can purchase for you for $199 (30%).
-
We'll use your Squarespace template to execute your vision and build your website. Then we’ll ask for your feedback and revise your website until you're delighted.
-
Time to pop the champagne! We’ll launch your website to the world.
-
Finally, we'll train you on how to update your website and provide any additional support for the next 30 days via email. In addition, we'll enroll you in our complimentary maintenance plan for three months post-launch to track how well your website performs.

My mission: To develop websites and digital strategies that turn visitors into loyal fans or clients, grow your business, and proudly spread your ideas.

I’m Ann, and I love taking these digital tasks off your plate so you can focus on what you do best - writing, teaching, advising, consulting, and speaking. Because I always need more books to read and podcasts to binge!
I’ve never written a novel, edited a manuscript, or produced a podcast. Instead, I have built websites and digital strategies.Besides being a writer, designer, and entrepreneur, I’m a lawyer and a former management consultant (focused on tech strategy).
Over a decade of corporate experience has taught me that the best results happen when design is married to an effective and evolving data-backed strategy. There is no one-and-done website here; only websites that are updated monthly and tied to evolving digital strategies to connect with your audience.
Work with me if you want a data and process-oriented approach to growing your digital business.
Let's get to know each other! Tell me about your favorite book or podcast, a thought-provoking article, or a system or process that has made your life happier or more efficient. A two-week website is right for you if:
-
You are new in your media career and need a great website to sell your work and connect with your audience effectively.
-
You know that SEO is essential, and you want to use SEO tactics to drive your audience to your work.
-
You know that all your copy and content need to work together, and you want expert help creating a comprehensive content plan.
-
You know your website is your digital storefront. You’re actively growing your writing, speaking, advising, or coaching career. You want to improve as fast as possible with expert advice. You’re committed to driving your audience to your website and creating a long-term relationship with your followers.
A Two-Week Website is not right for you if:
-
You’ve got this. Your digital strategy and software run smoothly.
-
You have a great website that you are also constantly updating.
-
You have excellent marketing materials and a reliable editorial calendar to boot.
-
You figured out SEO long ago, and it’s working well for you.
-
Professionals have already given you feedback on your digital strategy - websites, newsletters, and social media.
QUESTIONS? WE HAVE ANSWERS
-
Yes, we can set up blog posts and pages for podcast episodes on your custom book landing page. However, we don’t recommend adding blog pages to your custom book landing page. The book landing page should be a stand-alone website so as not to distract your readers from one purpose - purchasing your book.
-
Yes, we have a happiness guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with our work, we won’t transfer the work, and you will receive a 50% refund.
-
First, you’ll have to tell us what you want! The more specifics, the better. You can send us any images, text, or websites that appeal to you. We will also discuss your business goals and website strategy. This usually takes 1-2 hours.
Next, we will send you a list of content inputs we will need from you. This includes any text, photos, images, links, social media handles, etc., that you want on your website. This is usually the most challenging and takes about 2-5 hours.
We will then send you a website mock-up. You will then need to review, edit, and sign off on our mock-up. We’ll build the website based on this mock-up, so we need this mock-up to be as precise as it can be. This usually takes 1-2 hours.
Finally, once you receive the built website, we’ll need your edits to finalize the website. This usually takes 1-2 hours.
You can expect to commit about 10-12 hours to this endeavor.

-
Let’s talk! We have limited spots available; clients also usually need at least 1-2 months to get their copy, graphics, and photos ready for us to work with.
-
Rebuilding websites is essentially the same work as building a new website, so we don’t offer discounts for re-builds. However, we will develop custom pricing if you want us to fix up 1 or 2 pages of your existing Squarespace website.
