Case Study: A.D. German Books

New Website – 2 VIP DayS

A.D. German contacted me in need of an author website in preparation for the release of her new YA Fantasy book, The Lost King’s Daughter. The book was already in production, and she needed a site that would capture the look and feel of the book and its setting. The book is the first in a series, so we needed to make sure there was room for the site to grow over time as new books are released. She also needed help setting up an e-commerce component for the book at Square, a new email address using her domain, and MailerLite.

A website in two days!

Since we needed to design and build a new website as well as the Square storefront and other items, I knew this project needed would take 2 VIP Days.

During those two days I was able to:

Design and build a brand new, 4 page website, including the home page, about page, books page, and a blog page (with two category archive pages)
Set up her Square account for online sales, add products and shipping options, and set up a simple storefront to match her brand
Set up a new email address for her, using her new domain, at Google Workspace
Set up her MailerLite account with a new email list, opt-in form, and welcome email automation

Here’s what A.D. German had to say:

Erin did a phenomenal job putting together everything I wanted! She asked me about mood and color scheme, and I shared some particulars about some details I was hoping to see, but Erin took it to the top! She did such an amazing job from the pictures she used to the fine details!

She was such a pleasure to work with, was so incredibly accommodating, and genuinely cared about me and my site! Even when I was having trouble with my Internet on my VIP day (worst nightmare come true 🫤), Erin was super supportive and even volunteered to reschedule if need be. I loved working with her and highly recommend her!
