This author needed a fun, quirky website to showcase her romantic comedies. I built this unique site from the ground up, and added in a blog module and a mailing list sign up.

Observations
The most important aspect of this author’s website was that it be easy to maintain down the line.
Question
I wondered if it would be possible to find enough graphics to manipulate that would allow her to update images herself. With the pop-art illustrations, there were more than enough.
Hypothesis
I figured if I built her a library of modules, she could easily update a book or a page. I also gave her templates for blog posts.
Experiment
For this design, responsive was very important. The vertical text and column sizes took a lot of manipulation to get it to display correctly on all devices, without sacrificing valuable space.
Analysis
After viewing other author sites, it’s clear most are very cookie-cutter. I wanted to do something very unique to her brand.
Conclusion
Authors want to write books, not maintain websites. So I made updates easy, even for this unique design.
