The problem
Where most independent bookstores sites fall short
Readers browse Amazon. You're losing book sales because your site doesn't feel like a curated destination.
Book lovers want discovery and community. Your site should be a book club and a bookstore.

How it works
One person, start to finish
- 01
You tell me
How your independent bookstores business runs, where the work comes from and what the current site gets wrong. By text, email or the form.
- 02
You see it free
For most sites I design the top of your homepage first, around your services and the towns you cover. You see the direction before you pay anything.
- 03
I build it
Love it? The first payment starts the full build. After launch you text the person who built it, no ticket queue.
Want a straight answer?
Send me your current site, or tell me about your independent bookstores business. I send a free preview and one fixed price.
