Collect newsletter subscriptions
Send viewers directly to a page dedicated to your featured book
Present yourself professionally and creatively to book industry professionals
 
✅ Single-Scroll Homepage
On the homepage, all information is found on one page. For example, clicking "Shop" scrolls the page down to the "Shop" section.
 
The homepage is built around the necessary functions: showcasing one book, providing purchase links for other published works, introducing the author, and collecting newsletter subscriptions.
 
✅ Use the Featured Book Page as a Landing Page
When you're promoting a new book, you can send viewers directly to the featured book page instead of your homepage. There, you can give them detailed information that wouldn’t make sense on a homepage to help them decide if the book is right for them.
 
Tip: Then when you have a new book to promote, just duplicate this page and swap out the images, text, and links.
