Design
That SELLS
Gone are the days when an author site was a couple of year-old blog posts and links to an in-store event from 2017. Now you can harness the power of your site to capture readers, create facebook audiences to target them more effectively, present a more unified brand, and even sell your books direct, cutting out those pesky middlemen. Middlemen, eh? What have they ever done for us poor authors?
We can provide a website design that works for your author business to help you reach readers, and wow them when you do.
All our designs are Divi-based WordPress designs, full responsive and mobile-friendly. And as a design house, you can be sure that we’ll provide you with a website that sings.

Web ELEMENTS
Websites may seem straightforward – stick a blog up, add a cover image, and hey presto – but these days there are a thousand and one things to consider when setting up your author site. What plugins do I need? How do I add my facebook pixel? What the chuff is a facebook pixel? Can I make my site talk to Bookfunnel AND Mailerlite? Thankfully Hollow Stone Services are here to help set everything up so that you need minimal technical expertise to maintain your own site moving forward. Or maybe you want us to keep a hand in? Well, we’ve got a package for that, too.
Wordpress and Divi - a match in author heaven
Divi is the biggest WordPress builder in the world, with over two million sites globally running off its powerful and expansive interface. Did we say expansive? Sorry, meant to say expensive… but with a Hollow Stone site build we’ll keep you in Divi updates indefinitely, so your site will always get the benefits of their upgrades under the hood.

Fully adaptive sites for the modern world
Ongoing care
Each site we make is designed to stand alone and work for you from the moment we hand it over, no matter your level of technical ability. We’ll provide instructions on how to do any basic maintenance you might need. But in case you want to get ongoing management of your site, we provide an after-care package that can continue as long as you need it for, charged on a yearly basis. We’ll even throw in the first year’s maintenance for free.
A site that works for every level
No matter what stage of your author journey you’re on, we’ll provide a site that is not only ready for you right now, but ready for you to grow. Whatever integrations you need with your other services, be they selling direct, mailing list integration, facebook marketplace, or anything else, we can make sure your site is able to handle it. And if you want help levelling up, we can do that, too.
