Website Templates

PRE-

ORDER

Not ready for a fully custom website design experience just yet? This is the next best thing.

Investing thousands into custom web development—like our Debut Writer or Seasoned Writer packages—isn't always feasible.

While a pre-made framework can never truly replace the deeply collaborative magic of custom design, you shouldn't have to settle for an uninspiring DIY site just to stay on budget.

These templates are meant to be a canvas, not a cage. Every single font, color, background, and image can be changed to perfectly mirror the soul of your writing and brand.

SEE IT IN ACTION:

I believe in the power of templates so much that I created my own author website with a template. These templates are incredibly flexible, and by adding my own author branding, I transformed the base of the template into a dark, atmospheric, gothic home for my writing.

If it's powerful and versatile enough to power my own creative world, I know it can do the same for yours.

THE TEMPLATE: SHIRLEY JACKSON

Worried that you don’t have the time or the eye to design your site even with a template?

We’ll have branding + template styling add-on packages available too.
