Testimonial

I wish I had set up a website sooner, but it just seemed like too much work, because I never seemed to find an agency that really understood what an author needs. I finally found it — AuthorsOnTheWeb! The team went out of its way to understand my specific needs (bilingual website? no problem!) and to propose solutions that were both creatively consistent with my work and technically optimal. Not only does my site project just the right image, it was up and running without a glitch within the (tight) deadline we had agreed. Moreover, Carol, Greg and Jenni were all a pleasure to work with despite the distance and time difference: quick, responsive, organized, and generally brilliant. They even trained me to be able to make updates to the site myself (I’d never thought that was possible). I will definitely call on them for my next book and would recommend them to any author.
