Ready to build your author website?

Expert website designer and SEO pro for authors and books. 

My name is Chad Lewine. I designed and my first website in 2002 for $75. It was for a local author! I was 12 years old. The internet is second nature to me. I worked at an agency in NYC for a brief period but have been fully freelance since 2011. I’ve consulted and designed for start ups, national brands, non profits and over a dozen authors and counting.

Strength in client relations, business acumen and technical web design and marketing skill allow me to help my clients understand their digital marketing initiatives in down-to-Earth, non-techie language and concepts.

As a solopreneur, like most independent authors, I can relate to the one-person operation you are likely running. I keep this in mind while creating my offers and I treat your project as it’s my own.

Additionally, I’m fully transparent; no-nonsense or beating around the bush. I’m highly communicative and direct. I don’t answer questions with boiler plate responses and I don’t make promises without all the info.

Let’s give your work the showcase it deserves. Contact me today! I always reply within 24 working hours.
