Website Revamp

Last year I started redesigning my website. I got several pages made and even sent it to people for feedback before realizing it wasn’t what I wanted at all. I hated what I had created. At heart, I’m a writer; not a graphic or web designer. Writing is where I’m happiest. It’s also what pays my bills so it’s hard to justify doing projects that take me away from that.

My background is such that I’m familiar with both web design and graphic design, but it takes me so long to produce a product that doesn’t actually reflect what I see in my head. It’s taken me a while, but I’ve learned that it’s sometimes best to go to the experts in things like this. I do it with other pieces of my business so why not here.

With that in mind, I started looking around for web designers and found Rocket Expansion. I loved a couple of the websites they created for other authors. Being me, I had to sit with the notion for a few months before committing.

From there, it was one meeting where I outlined my brand and what I wanted in a website and they took it and ran with it. I couldn’t be happier with what Sonja and the team at Rocket Expansion created. It’s everything I envisioned in a website. It’s very me. The best part is that it came together in weeks and all they required of me were a few pieces of written sections. They did everything else.

If you visit, you’ll notice a few new things. First is that it is mobile friendly. Something that I’ve been wanting for years but that is firmly out of my skill set. The next is a section called Extras. Here you’ll find the free short stories and deleted scenes that were on the old site. There is also an extra section titled glossary that contains the definitions for all those words I made up in the different worlds. I also plan to add a map section but that is a task for future me.

For those who come to the site to know what I’m writing next, you’ll find the answer in two places. On the page under explore and the about page under the FAQ’s.

The blog will now be run through the site so if you’re subscribed to the old blog you’ll now have to visit the site to find new entries. There’s also an extended About the Author page that contains answers to your frequent questions.

I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
