My current site—https://www.ajayachariwritings.com/—served as a quick launchpad, but it lacks the classic, elegant feel I want for my author brand. I’m ready for a complete redesign that invites readers into my world, showcases my work, and lets them purchase my book without ever leaving the page. Visual tone I picture a refined palette, graceful typography, and balanced white space that echoes a traditional library more than a trendy blog. Subtle animations are fine, but the overall experience must remain timeless rather than flashy. Core pages • About the Author: a polished bio with a professional headshot and press-ready download links. • Book Reviews: space for editorial praise and reader testimonials, displayed attractively. • Blog: posts are the heart of my engagement strategy, so the CMS has to make publishing and categorising new entries effortless. • Book Store: a dedicated product page (and future catalogue) with secure payment options, sample-chapter previews, and verified customer ratings. E-commerce essentials Secure payment gateways (Stripe or PayPal are perfect), automatic confirmation emails, and easily configurable shipping or download fulfillment. A short PDF preview or flip-book style sampler should live right next to the buy button. Technical notes Responsive design is non-negotiable, and page speed should remain strong even with high-resolution cover art. A simple admin panel—WordPress or an equally intuitive platform—is preferred so I can post blogs, update inventory, and moderate reviews myself. Deliverables 1. Full site design and build, staged on your server for review. 2. Integration of payment gateway, review plugin, and preview module. 3. Migration of existing copy, images, and blog posts. 4. One-hour hand-off walkthrough plus a concise maintenance guide. If this aligns with your skill set, let’s turn that placeholder site into an elegant digital home for my writing.
