Your Website Deserves a Love Story, Too
Custom design and strategic support for authors who want more than just a pretty homepage.
“I know my stories deserve a beautiful website… but every time I try to figure it out, I end up overwhelmed, second-guessing, or stuck in another late-night rabbit hole. I just want someone who understands romance authors to tell me what actually works.”
Every author's website journey is different -
At Kissin’ Tales, I offer two website design services for romance authors: a quick, affordable website audit and strategy session, or a full custom romance author website design package. Whether you’re just starting out or ready for a professional author website on Squarespace or Systeme.io, you’ll find the right fit here.
I'm here to support you right where you’re at:
Website Audit & Strategy for Romance Authors
$47 USD
The First Page
Your website's next chapter starts here - with clarity and confidence.
You don’t need a complete overhaul, you just need a website wingman who actually gets romance authors. In this 60-minute session, we’ll cut through the overwhelm and sketch out a roadmap that works for your author journey.
This session is perfect for you if:
You already have a website and want to know what's working (and what's not)
You’re starting from scratch and need a clear, doable roadmap
You crave honest, genre-specific advice - minus sales pitch
You’ll walk away with:
A personalized action plan with 3 - 5 high-impact improvements
A curated list of tools and resources to guide your next steps
Annotated screenshots (if needed) for crystal-clear feedback
A session recording + summary notes, so you never miss a detail
“Erin went above and beyond my expectations. She didn’t just identify pain-points on my website, but gave me simple, actionable steps to correct them with possible resources to consult. I left the website audit feeling empowered to make her recommended changes.”
— Day S Grant, The First Page
Because even bestselling authors need editors - and your website deserves that same expert attention.

“Erin did an amazing job with my website! I honestly had no idea how I wanted it to look, and she exceeded any expectations that I had. She was creative, and her vision was so perfect for my author brand. She incorporated all the images, themes, and color schemes so well and really gave my website that wow factor. She had creative ideas for button names, headlines, and section titles and gave me plenty of options. She was also thorough in explaining how to maintain and edit the website. I would highly recommend Kissin' Tales for any author looking to build a website, even if you have no idea where to begin.”
— Lilith Krowe, The Happily Ever After

Not at all! Whether you’re a total tech newbie or comfortable clicking around the backend of a website, I’ll meet you where you’re at. My goal is to empower you with tools and training so you can confidently manage your site without feeling overwhelmed.

I design on Squarespace (for its gorgeous, flexible templates) and Systeme.io (for authors who want marketing tools like funnels and email built right in). Both are user-friendly, so you’ll feel comfortable updating your content even after our work together ends.
-
“The First Page” sessions are one hour, with your action plan and resources delivered within two business days after we meet. “The Happily Ever After” custom websites typically take about 2 weeks from start to finish, depending on how quickly you can provide feedback and content.

That’s okay! Book a free discovery call, and we’ll chat about where you’re at and which option will support you best. Sometimes all you need is a fresh perspective and a roadmap—sometimes you’re ready for the full glow-up. Together, we’ll figure it out.

Yes! That’s one of the core values at Kissin’ Tales. You’ll get personalized training (recorded for your reference) and a custom maintenance guide. Plus, I design with user-friendly tools so you won’t need to hire a developer for every little update.

Nope! The price you see is the price you pay - no surprise fees, no upsells, no "oh, by the way" charges. Your investment covers everything outlined in your service package. The only separate costs you'll handle are your chosen platform's monthly subscription (starting around $26/month for Squarespace or $0-17/month for Systeme.io) and your domain name if you don't already have one (about $12-15/year).
