PAULETTE BROOKS

We couldn't stop talking about the unique ideas she presented about website design and author branding. “

While Maite has the credentials and previous experience as a brand strategist for huge corporations, she was so down to earth in dealing with a debut novelist who is just launching her book out into a very competitive marketplace.

She was patient and listened carefully to my vision for an attractive website and then offered her ideas to make it even more effective.

FAQs

  1. Timeline – How long does it take?
     Each website project takes 4–6 weeks from start to finish. The timeline may extend depending on how quickly feedback and content are provided.

  2. Start Date – When can we begin?
     Once your 50% deposit is paid, you’ll schedule your start date directly through Calendly.

  3. Content – Do you write it for me?
     I provide conversion-optimized templates for all core pages (Homepage, About, Book Page, Body of Work, Contact). You’ll fill them in, and I’ll refine as needed to make sure they shine.

  4. Platform – What do you use?
     I build exclusively on Squarespace. It’s beautiful, intuitive, secure, and easy for authors to maintain. I’ll also show you how to make your own edits.

  5. Timing – What if I don’t have a book out yet?
     That’s actually the perfect time. An author website isn’t just for books,  it’s your professional home for agents, readers, and media.

  6. Support – Do you offer ongoing help?
     Yes. After launch, I’m just an email away if you break something or need a quick fix. My priority is to empower you, so I’ll also show you how to easily update text and images yourself.

  7. Downloadables – Can I offer free printables or downloads?
     Absolutely. We can add a “Reader Resources” or “Extras” section where visitors download files (cards, coloring sheets, guides) in exchange for joining your email list.

  8. Animations – Can we add dynamic or moving elements?
     Yes. I can weave in subtle animations and scroll effects (parallax, transitions, or character-inspired accents) to bring personality without overwhelming the site.

  9. Legal – What about a privacy policy, cookies, and reCAPTCHA?
     Squarespace includes SSL security and a GDPR-compliant cookie banner. I’ll also add a simple privacy policy page and enable reCAPTCHA for safe forms.

  10. Analytics – Does Squarespace track site data?
     Yes. Squarespace has built-in analytics (traffic, popular pages, geography, etc.). I can also connect Google Analytics (GA4) for deeper insights and long-term tracking.
