Author Websites: Industry Spotlight by Positive Element

Author websites have always been my favorite type of web design project. A few years back I had quite a niche developing custom websites for authors. As a creative person who loves words as much as visuals, I adore the experience of getting to know the writers through the process of collaborating with them on design and strategy, and helping to promote their work.

I spent the past few years as product manager at FanSided, a network of ~300 websites, where I had the privilege of creating and enhancing content publishing tools for thousands of writers.

With all of those experiences, I have a solid foundation to apply to the development of any writer’s website and admin requirements. This means that that going into a new author website design project, we can focus on what’s unique about this particular author’s audience, and create something that truly appeals and succeeds.
