My Website

I wanted to create a website all about the author and book. I was going to use the process I have before by editing it in Photoshop, with hover states, saving the images and linking them using InVision App.

However, I had a time limit and was struggling with the design of the website. So, I decided to use another website called Wix.com to create an author's website selling the book. This has worked out really well.

I chose the colours of the site to be black, grey and white, the same as my book. This is so there's a recognised theme throughout my website and book that people can recognise. Also, this is almost a portfolio website, so these colours were more professional and polished-looking.

I had different sections: home, book, bio, events, and contact.

In the home section, I included the book so it was the first thing you could see when you opened the page. I also added some reviews from 'papers', so it looked like a real book. These were real reviews from peers in college.

In the book section, I put the book, again, and a buy button. I also added a quotes from the book, and the blurb. This was to attract people to the book even more. The other sections, were less about the book and more about the author, events of release dates and author meetings, etc.
