The Ignite approach
Thoughtful design. Clear expectations.
A professional website should make your work easier to understand and your next step easier to take. That starts with honest content, a useful structure and an agreed plan.
We work remotely with authors and academic professionals in the USA and UK. Communication and review arrangements are agreed around your project.
Pages, deliverables, responsibilities and review points are agreed in your proposal. You know what is included and what needs a separate decision.
Your content, accurately represented
Your biography, publications and affiliations are approved by you. Research metrics are included only with a reliable source and an update date.
Ownership considered from the start
Access, content management, documentation and any ongoing support are discussed alongside the design, not left until after launch.

Author Essentials
Starting from
$599USD
A focused home for your story, selected work and the people who want to connect.
Starting prices in USD, not fixed quotes. Pages, functionality, content requirements and any domain, hosting or third-party costs are confirmed in your proposal before work begins.
Can you build a personal website for a researcher or professor?
Yes. We can plan an academic profile, affiliations, publication library, research projects, teaching experience, achievements and a CV download. The structure is tailored to your audience and approved content.
Can publications be filtered by year and linked to a DOI?
Year and publication-type filters can be included in the agreed scope. Real records can show publication dates, abstracts and verified DOI, publisher or repository links. Full-text uploads must respect copyright and publisher access conditions.
Can I connect Google Scholar, ORCID and other academic profiles?
We can link to approved Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearchGate, Scopus and Web of Science profiles. Automated imports are scoped separately and depend on each provider's permissions, available APIs and access terms. We do not promise unrestricted scraping or automatic citation updates.
Are the research records and charts on this page real?
No. The dashboard uses clearly labelled illustrative publications and counts. It makes no claims about a real person, institution, citations or client results. Your website would use verified records you provide and approve, with sources and update dates for any impact metrics.
Is this suitable for PhD scholars and students?
Yes. A concise profile can introduce your research interests, education, selected work and professional contact details. You do not need an extensive publication record. We can plan space for your portfolio to develop.
Why does an author need a website?
It gives readers and professional contacts one reliable place for your books, biography, updates and contact details. It complements social media and retailers rather than replacing them.
Can you build a website for a first-time author?
Yes. A focused biography, writing portfolio and contact page can establish your online home before your first release. Book pages can be added when you are ready.
Can I showcase multiple books or a series?
The catalogue can be organised by series, genre or publication date, with a dedicated page for each book. The structure is planned around the size of your catalogue.
Can readers buy books directly?
Retailer links are a simple starting point. Direct sales require additional checkout, payment, tax and fulfilment decisions, which are scoped separately.
Can you link to Amazon and other retailers?
Yes, using the links you supply and approve. We can include multiple buying options without claiming any retailer partnership.
Can I collect newsletter subscribers?
A signup can connect to your chosen email provider. Consent, privacy wording and any subscription costs are agreed before integration.
Can you redesign my current website?
We review the content, URLs, book links, platform and mobile experience before recommending targeted changes or a rebuild.
Can I update books and my biography myself?
A suitable content-management option and handover can be included. The right editing workflow depends on how often you publish and who manages the website.
Will the website have SEO foundations?
The agreed scope can include descriptive metadata, crawlable book pages, internal links and a sitemap. Search rankings and book sales are not guaranteed.
Can you plan a publishing-house website?
Yes. We can scope a book catalogue, author directory, genre navigation and submission information. Larger catalogues may need search, filtering and custom integrations.
How long will it take?
Timing depends on page count, content readiness, catalogue size and integrations. We confirm a realistic schedule after discovery.
What do you need from me?
Your biography, approved photos, book covers, descriptions, retailer links, brand preferences and any existing site access. Please provide assets you have permission to use.
Do you provide maintenance?
Updates, backups and ongoing improvements can be agreed as a separate support arrangement.
Can you help promote a release?
We can discuss launch pages, SEO and campaign requirements. The channel mix and delivery depend on the agreed scope, budget and approved content.
