Please email me at tilly@tillyridgeauthor.com with any questions, or click here to fill out the service request form.
Website Creation
On Squarespace
Basic Website Creation
Cost: $600
Included in all:
An hour-long call to go over how to edit your new website, subscription to Squarespace, & any other questions you may have. If you add on shop set-up, we will cover orders and payment information to add so you can start accepting payments. All the way down to where you can navigate shipping and taxes for your items.
Up to 7 pages created, some often included:
Home Page
About the Author/ Contact
Books/ Content Warnings
Signings
ARC Opportunities
Unlinked web page options (you own it, but it’s not in the navigation of the website):
Links- this one is very important & will be the only one I highly recommend you have. It will replace your Linktree or external link source to drive traffic to your website.
Privacy & Terms & Conditions
Newsletter Sign-up Page (great because it never changes)
*I do not work with authors who use AI in any capacity. No Design or branding is included in this. Colors, branding images, & anything else will need to be provided. If these services are needed, I have contacts to designers who are willing to create them for you.
This package also includes a newsletter hook-up (I access the back end of both your website & newsletter program to connect them, ensuring the newsletter is delivered to readers). If you don't have a newsletter yet, I can set one up for you as well. The newsletter set-up cost is below.
Signed Shop Creation & Wholesale Page (Locked to the public) Add-On
Cost: $400
Shop landing page
Separate locked wholesale page
Adding all inventory to both
Shipping set-up
Taxes set-up (you will need instruction from a CPA)
Newsletter Creation & Low Maintenance Management
On Mailerlite
Newsletter Creation
Cost: $100
If I create your website, you can add newsletter creation for a seamless intro into connecting with your readers. This is something that took me a long time to figure out on my own, and was way too time-consuming, but a necessary part of having a newsletter because of deliverability.
Included:
Connecting your website & newsletter provider so you can send without getting flagged
Inputting your logos, color palette, footer, & settings
Newsletter Management
Cost: $100/ monthly
Included:
Up to bi-weekly send outs
Setting up your newsletter swap sheet
Finding authors to swap with you
Building the email, coping your words into it, & then sending it out
Reminders to write your newsletter (mainly because I’ll need it to send out lol)
Bookfunnel group promos
This is not me writing your newsletter for you. I recommend the book Newsletter Ninja for that.
Signed Shop Fulfillment
If I created your website, then I can also fulfill your shop’s orders. Perhaps you’re overseas but want to offer signed copies or simply direct purchases for readers. Or maybe you don’t have the room to store your books/stock, or have the time or physical capability.
Cost: 15% of each sale
Here’s what to expect:
