Case study 07 · Website, built from scratch
A five-page author website, built alongside a book launch
Hannah Bjorkman Stauber, author and speaker, Utah, United States
The situation
An author with a manuscript heading for publication and nothing online to send readers to. A book with only an Amazon listing gets the sale and nothing else. No email list, no story, and no place for a speaker to point an audience.
What I built
- A five-page responsive Squarespace site, designed and built from scratch
- Website copy, including the book summary and opt-in messaging
- A Mailchimp opt-in and newsletter, so readers joined a list the author owns
- Branded social and launch graphics in Canva
The finished site

The result
The book was published on Amazon KDP with a live site and an email list capturing readers from day one. I read the manuscript closely before writing the site, which is why the site sounds like the book rather than like marketing about the book.
Abi is amazing to work with, and she has a laser focus to help you get clarity on what you want. Then, she delivers spectacular service! I highly recommend her.
