Author Websites
YOU WRITE, WE BUILD
To act on inspiration is vital when you're an author. So let us take care of your website needs.
Bitten Fruit Books can build and maintain your website for you if you are a new author or an author with ten books or less. Our fees are nominal for the personal service you get, and we do not use artificial intelligence to build our sites. Our service includes yearly maintenance – simply contact us when you'd like to update your website with text, images, links, and so on.
The main points
✦ We can build for any genre: commercial or literary fiction, fantasy, romance, sci-fi, horror, or non-fiction books. (We reserve the right to turn down any request if we feel we will not be able to properly fulfil it.)✦ We charge £100 to build your website and maintain it for one year.✦ If required, we charge a fee of £50 every year after, paid annually, to continue to maintain it – up to three changes / updates per month (that's less than £5 per month!).✦ Updates can take up to 72 hours to complete.✦ As a small business, we will let you know which dates we will not be available for maintenance so you can plan ahead.✦ Cancel any time approaching annual renewal. (Once your £50 is paid, there are no refunds until the yearly term runs out.)✦ We can give you instructions to point your domain name towards your website, or we can host a domain name for you at [yourname].bfbooks.net – this is included in our fee.✦ We ask that we can place at the footer of your site: website created and maintained by Bitten Fruit Books.
What we don't offer
We do not offer site and marketing analytics, ecommerce, or blogging, although we can link to shops and blogs. We're all about simplicity, ease, and aesthetics when it comes to your website. We suit authors who have 10 books or less, who do not want the hassle of web creation and don't want the fuss of maintaining and updating a website.
