Working with Davina has been nothing short of magical. She has a remarkable gift for listening and then translating ideas, hopes, and half-formed thoughts into something beautiful and alive. The website she created for Ollie’s Adventure Books feels like stepping into Ollie’s world itself: thoughtful, engaging, and full of quiet wonder.

Why Authors Need A Website
A website isn’t mainly about selling books directly. Most readers will still buy your books through retailers like Amazon or their local bookshop. Instead, your website serves as your online home, a place where readers, media, and industry professionals can easily learn about you and discover your work.
1. You Have Full Control
Unlike social media, your website is a space you fully control, representing your personal brand and a home for your books, your story, and your readers.
2. A Home for Your Books
A website gives readers one place to discover everything you’ve written. You can showcase your books, share reading order, link to retailers, and make it easy for readers to find their next read.
3. Connect Directly With Readers
Your website allows readers to connect with you without relying on social media algorithms. With an email newsletter signup, you can build a direct relationship with your audience and keep them updated on new releases.
4. A Professional Online Presence
When journalists, event organisers, agents, or publishers want to learn more about you, your website is often the first place they’ll look. Having a clear, well-designed site helps present you and your work professionally.
5. A Place to Share Your News
Readers love getting to know the person behind the books. Your website is the perfect place to share your author bio, blog posts, new releases and behind-the-scenes insights.

A pleasure to deal with, fuss-free and efficient; her web design was perfect – exactly what I was looking for and better, the website looks great. She was also very helpful and patient explaining and facilitating functionality such as payment options and social media feeds.
