Build a professional author website without code

A complete author site with book pages, blog, about page, and contact form — live in minutes, not months.

Your author website is the hub of your career. Unlike renting space on Amazon or social media, your website is yours — you control the design, the content, and every reader relationship. AuthorLoft gives you everything you need to build a beautiful, professional author site without touching a line of code.

Everything an author site needs, built in

No plugins to install, no themes to debug. Every feature an author needs comes standard.

  • Book catalog with cover images, descriptions, excerpts, and buy links
  • Blog and news section to connect with readers and boost SEO
  • About page with bio, headshot, social links, and credentials
  • Contact form so readers, media, and event organizers can reach you
  • Custom pages for anything else — events, speaking, awards, bonus content
  • Series pages that group books in reading order

Your brand, your domain, your identity

Look like a professional from day one with custom branding and your own domain.

  • Connect your own domain (yourname.com) on Standard and Premium plans
  • Choose from multiple professionally designed themes
  • Custom accent colors to match your brand (Premium)
  • Your logo in the header — not AuthorLoft's
  • Mobile-responsive design that looks great on every device

Built for discoverability

Your site is optimized for search engines and AI discovery from the start.

  • SEO-optimized page structure with proper meta tags and structured data
  • Built-in blog with RSS feed for content marketing
  • Canonical URLs and Open Graph tags on every page
  • Listed in the AuthorLoft Bookstore for cross-promotion
  • AI search engine optimized (GEO-ready) with Schema.org markup

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. AuthorLoft is a no-code platform. You manage everything through a visual admin dashboard — add books, write blog posts, update your bio, and customize your site without touching any code.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. On Standard and Premium plans, you can connect your own custom domain (like yourname.com). Free plan sites are hosted on an authorloft.com subdomain.

How fast can I get my site live?

Most authors have their site live within 15 minutes. Add your books, write a short bio, choose a theme, and you're ready to share your link with readers.

What if I already have an author website?

You can migrate at your own pace. Many authors run AuthorLoft alongside their existing site initially, then switch their domain once they're ready.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes your author website with book catalog, blog, about page, and contact form — free forever with no credit card required.
