1. Make sure the solution is custom.
When you decide to pursue the development of a publishing related website, make sure that the solution you are purchasing is a fully customized one. A lot of developers and book web design companies tend to place you into generic packages or set you up on a very flat and/or plain looking platform. The do-it-yourself solutions aren't really any better either.
2. Understand the basics about search engine optimization.
While your website may "look" obvious to a visitor what it is for, that may not be the case for the search engines that crawl it. Make sure the website has key phrases plugged throughout the content on the website so that it shows up well in search engines for those terms.
3. Understand how important good content is.
As an author or publisher, having good, original content should not be a challenge. Good content (text and pictures) leads to good looking websites that people stay on. Make sure to put in the hard work needed to have your website read well. Good pictures help uplift a website like nothing else.
4. Understand your influence on the turnaround time.
Each and every book web design project goes through a content process in which we, at some point, need to gather the text and information from you to publish on the site. Though our team is capable of professional content writing and stock photo utilization, at the end of the day, some information will still be needed from you. The faster you are with providing us the necessary materials the faster the entire process will go.
5. Make sure you have a level of trust with your developer.
While this may sound obvious, we want to state it anyway. Whether you are working with our team or another, you need to make sure you have a level of trust with the company you are utilizing for your author web design project. When we say trust, we don't just mean from an ethical perspective, we are also referring to grasping abilities. Do you really feel confident that the developer "understands" your goals? Are they capable of getting the job done? Additionally, you should always review the the developers track record using a trusted source like the BBB. Do not pay attention to the random complaint boards out there which are filled with fake stories, but a cross-check on a trusted review board makes perfect sense.
