take a look at some of my author website in a day designs
my design process
I work very closely with my clients to build a website that feels completely ‘them’.
I do have a house style of sorts, and my designs do share some similarities (I’m a big believer in negative space, for example), but it’s really important to me that your website feels and looks unique, and like a true reflection of you and your books.
Before I begin designing a site, I spend a lot of time getting to grips with your design preferences.
I also take your books’ genre into account - and make sure that not only you love your website, but your readers will too!
All my designs are bespoke - I don’t use any of the standard Squarespace templates - so you can be sure your website is a one-off.
Below are some of my recent site builds.
Please note that many of my authors choose to update their sites themselves once live, so the live site may differ from the images below.

“I love my new site! It's slick and professional but still feels like me. I was nervous about whether it would be worth the money but it was totally worth it - Charlotte made it all so easy and I know I've saved myself so much time in the long run by working with her.”
– BETH O’LEARY, SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE FLATSHARE

“I absolutely love my new website. It has exceeded my expectations and I've had lots of very positive feedback on it. Charlotte is well worth the investment. She is extremely responsive to your individual requirements and gives expert advice. She is skilled at interpreting your needs and creating the website you always wanted.”

“I am THRILLED with how my website has turned out. The new design strikes the balance between warm and sophisticated but still fun and engaging. Thank you for all your hard work building such a beautiful site!”

“It's been great working with Charlotte and I'm delighted with the end result. It's an investment worth making as the websites that Charlotte produces look really professional and eye-catching, and are easy to navigate. I was particularly happy with the walkthrough of the site before it went live and it's great that I can be in touch in future too.”
– HARRIET TYCE, SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BLOOD ORANGE

“My new site is everything I wanted it to be, and I could never have made it happen without Charlotte. Charlotte came highly recommended, so my only big hesitation was cost. I can honestly say it was worth every penny. Charlotte is so helpful and thorough. The site includes everything I asked for, and I’m fully equipped to edit it myself as and when I need to.”
– CLARE HARLOW, AUTHOR OF THE AWARD-WINNING TIDEMAGIC SERIES

“The time it would have taken me to do what Charlotte has done would have cost me far more than the fee she charges. Charlotte was fully committed and invested in creating the website that I envisaged. The level of communication was very much appreciated and attention to detail second to none. I’m incredibly proud of my site.”
– SANDIE JONES, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE OTHER WOMAN

“If you are worried about the technical side, have no fear, because Charlotte sets out everything logically and clearly. I absolutely love my new site. Charlotte's approach to gleaning as much information from me before we started meant that she knew exactly what I wanted. And her brilliant design reflects this. It has been a lovely creative project to work on and I highly recommend Charlotte’s services!”
– CATHERINE LAW, AUTHOR OF THE LAST DANCE

“Charlotte's approach combines friendliness with a high level of professionalism which is ideal for anyone nervous about committing to a new website. She has an eye for design and a genuine desire to meet her clients’ needs which results in truly stunning work. She feeds back regularly through the process and she really did go over and above to make my website everything I'd hoped for - and more. I cannot recommend Charlotte highly enough.”
– MARION TODD, AUTHOR OF THE DI CLARE MACKAY CRIME SERIES

“I am more than delighted with my site - Charlotte even allowed me to get away with two paw prints! But, as well as a slick, professional website, I particularly recommend Charlotte for her ease of communication, her organisation and the swiftness at which the site went up. I've worked with a few web designers, and it's never been as easy, as efficient or as pain-free as this.”
– HANNAH GOLD, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE LAST BEAR

"The incredible Charlotte somehow got into my brain and worked out exactly what I wanted, even though I didn’t really know myself! Charlotte made the whole process SO clear and fun. If you’re umming and ahhhing about getting a new website I cannot recommend Charlotte enough! Especially if you’re an author - as she’s an author too, and knows exactly what your website needs. She will walk you through the process and create something amazing with no fuss at all."
– RUTH IRONS, AUTHOR OF HOME SWEET HOME

“I love my new website so much that I am going to keep it updated with all my news and events and not just forget about it next week. Charlotte is a total dream to work with. Highly recommend her and her tech-wizardry talents 👏🏻”
— KIT CONWAY, AUTHOR OF CAT FIGHT

“Charlotte is so skilled, professional and insightful, that you really can’t fail to end up with the perfect website. It’s also an incredibly enjoyable experience, not only because Charlotte is such a pleasure to work with, but because it really took me back to the basics of what I wanted not just from the website but also from my writing in general.”
— CHRIS LLOYD, AUTHOR OF THE AWARD-WINNING OCCUPATION SERIES

“I’m so delighted with my new site. I love the fact that it retains the quirk of my old site, but feels much more up-to-date and user-friendly. I would never have thought of using the dark blue as a background but I love it - it makes it striking and different and very modern. Now that I know it works properly on all platforms and can be updated whenever needed, I can be much more proactive in the way that I use it."

“When I came across Charlotte’s portfolio, I was immediately drawn to the visual simplicity and ease of navigation of the websites she had designed.
Charlotte was the perfect choice for me. She has a great design sense, she knows what a writer needs, her services are reasonably priced, and the process is very efficient. I spent less of my time on these websites than I had on my previous websites and the results were better!
”

“I absolutely love my new site! Easy to navigate, clean and fresh - it's everything I wanted and more. Charlotte is a marvel. Fast, intuitive, enthusiastic, supportive and a total website goddess to boot. Can’t recommend her highly enough.”
– KATIE MARSH, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE REST OF ME

“
I love my new site! I’m very proud of it. It captures exactly what I was trying to achieve... Because Charlotte’s an author she gets it. That’s important. As a debut author, there can be a lot of fear around the unknown and it’s reassuring to know that you don’t have to explain that to Charlotte. I’d say as an author looking to create a website, what Charlotte offers is so unique.”
