Designing author websites that give your readers more

Your author website plays a key role in building your brand. Make it an experience that's undeniably,
Creatively You.

Let's get started!

Why Be Creatively You?

What if your website was a multi-media book trailer - an extension of the world you built in your books? An experience for your readers to learn more about the characters they've come to love?

Creatively You was founded by a writer (that's me!) to help passionate creatives like yourself showcase your work in a strategic way that feels authentic to you.
Embrace what makes you unique. Connect with your audience - both through compelling web design and copy that looks and sounds like your voice and your style. Your path to success starts with you.

Every story blazes its own trail, owning its own voice. 
So what are you waiting for?
Let's build your brand.

Every Brand Story Starts With Three Pillars

Your Vision

You've spent countless hours creating the world within your book. Now it's time to merge your aesthetic with the characteristics of your writing and your long term career goals. Understanding your vision is the first step to creating your Author Brand Identity.

Your Voice

With an understanding of your vision, we can use your Author Brand Voice to start developing the design and aesthetic of your new author website. This is one of the most important - and fun! - conversations during your web design project.

Your Values

Defining your values during the web design process can help you further connect with your readers AND stand out - both in your genre and to agents looking for an author who understands marketing. It's an important step you don't want to skip.

The Creatively You Process

Written content and imagery are often seen as two separate elements of a brand image.
The truth is that they function as one - to tell your story, to create effective SEO, to connect with your target audience. 

This is why I write my clients' content as I design their websites. Your copy supports the design of your website, and your website supports and amplifies your copy.

And it's all guided by three pillars: 
Your Vision, Your Voice, and Your Values

Creative Copy

The goal is for your new website copy to sound so clearly like you that everyone, even your closest inner circle, thinks you wrote it all yourself. 

Unique Design

Unlike stories, websites are meant to show and tell. Your website design will be inherently unique, as it's a visual representation of your brand voice. 

Effective SEO

SEO has shifted to appreciate authentic storytelling (which is at the heart of everything I do) but it also includes fine details like proper alt tags, image sizing and more. 

Good Page Speed

Every web page is tested to make sure that both the desktop and mobile sites download quickly, so your target audience never gets bored or impatient. 

MEET THE STORYTELLER

My name is Samantha. I have 12 years of experience in brand storytelling and a B.A. in Creative Writing from Brandeis University. The techniques I've learned to create and fine-tune believable stories are the same ones I use within my business to help you create your brand story.

I started out as a copywriter in 2012, back when SEO was full of blackhat tricks businesses were just learning not to do. The industry has completely evolved since then. Where SEO copywriting used to be a tricky game of using as many keywords as possible without keyword stuffing, it's now more story-centric.

Alongside my writing and SEO experience, I also worked at Yale University. I was part of the team tasked with testing their new Giving page. That meant making sure the web page was easy to navigate, that users could easily locate the buttons we wanted them to click, that the data was collected on the backend, and more. All of that led to here...

My web design process is a combination of everything I've learned over the past 12 years. Designing the creative, testing the technical, making sure that everything flows smoothly so your business can run without a hitch. All while making sure your website and brand story is Creatively You.

Are you ready to watch your brand grow?
