Why a full website is awesome!
Full disclosure - Shopify is our favorite. Pssst. It's just so much fun and more user friendly for when you take things over.
What's Included...
Domain/Site Discussion
Lots of options out there. Let's pick the one that's right for you.
If you have any questions, let's talk about this in our consult.
Brand
We'll do our best to make sure your branding is spot on and clean throughout the entirety of the store.
Integrations
We've done our research and tested out the apps/plugins. We know which ones to use for what you want them to do.
Images
Consistency across the site images is important and we're the ones to create templates for you as well as upload them.
Funnels
Keep those readers coming back for more. We'll set up some great funnels that will run automagically for you.
Notion Project Page
You'll get your own checklist of info and what we're covering when. You'll see where your project is at any given moment.
Variants
Let's talk variants and how you want to assign them. So many options and we want to help you deliver those to your reader.
And MORE!
There is so much to list. You'll get how-tos so you can move forward without us if you need to. But you can come back too.

*We do not create these images (covers, etc), but we do the images for the products based on request, etc. For consistency, we create the product images for the galleries to keep them looking terrific, but we will not create logos, products themselves (like audiobooks, ebooks, paperbacks, etc).
We need the products ready to go and in our hands before the project starts.
You will recieve a list of what is needed on your own personal Notions page.
**To keep our setup costs low, you will be responsible for the account charges of external resources (listed below) that we use.
Also, apps/plugins you choose will be your responsibility to pay for.
Hosting and other fees are not part of our package. Questions? See our FAQ page.
You’ll fill out the interest form below. Only fill it out, if you want to move forward. We assign you a spot immediately on the calendar and these spots fill up. So if you want a spot and you sign up, but you’re not sure, you’ll be moved to the bottom of the list.
If you have questions, before proceeding, please email us at: help@authordirectsales.com.
You’ll be sent an invoice as well as a checklist of items that we will need to get your job done. Accomplish the tasks as soon as possible and we will get your store up and running.
