A professional author website that showcases your books, grows your audience, and turns readers into lifelong fans — designed and built for you.

Looks and works perfectly on every device — phone, tablet, and desktop — out of the box.

Dedicated pages for each title with buy links, descriptions, reviews, and series information.

Integrated email list-building with Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or your preferred email platform.
Blog & News
A fully managed blog so you can post updates, writing news, and connect with your readers.
SEO Optimised

Why You Need One
Readers Google You.
What Do They Find?
Before buying your book, most readers search your name online. A professional website signals credibility, keeps readers engaged, and gives you a platform you own — unlike social media that can change its algorithm overnight.
We build author websites that are fast, beautiful, and optimised for the searches that matter — your name, your book titles, and your genre keywords.

How It Works
From Brief to Live in Six Steps
A transparent process so you always know exactly where your website is in development.
Brand Discovery
We learn your genre, tone, audience, and author personality to define the look and feel of your site.
Design Mockup
A full visual mockup delivered for your review before a single line of code is written.
Development
Your site is built — fast, secure, and accessible — with all content and integrations configured.
Content & SEO
We write or refine all copy, optimise every page for search, and set up your analytics.
Review & Revisions
You review the live staging site and request changes — we refine until it's exactly right.
Launch & Handover
Your site goes live, you receive a training walkthrough, and we hand over full ownership.
Why HearEst
We Build Websites
for Authors, Not
Anyone Else
Generic web agencies don't understand book pages, series management, buy-link placement, or how readers browse an author's back catalogue. We do — because we work exclusively in publishing.
Every site we build is owned entirely by you — no monthly platform fees, no vendor lock-in. Just a fast, beautiful website that works as hard as you do.
Publishing-Specialist Designers
We know what author sites need — book pages, series order, buy links, press kits.
You Own Everything
Full ownership of domain, code, and content. No lock-in, ever.
Fast & Secure
Optimised for Core Web Vitals — loads fast, ranks well, never goes down.
Ongoing Support
Post-launch help, updates, and new page additions whenever you need them.
