Thank you for the insight. I will be starting my own author’s website and refer back to this when I get all my ducks in a row.
ReplyI have to confess, a lot of what you’re saying here I arrived at through my own experiences with other people’s sites rather than a thought-out logical approach, but it’s interesting to me to see how much further I could have taken this! Very good information here!
ReplyYes! I’ve worked with some authors with several books published and little common ground in how their covers look. It really does make website color choices incredibly challenging 🙂
ReplyI never really thought about how my book covers look when paired with my website background, so I’m definitely thinking carefully about colour palettes now.
ReplyGreat insight on websites and color scheme Nate. It’s good to get a better idea of your skills and what you do. I recently changed my sites look and colors to better meet my books and genre. Everything said here I can totally relate to and understand.
ReplyI’m a huge believer in the power of color in marketing. As a marketing director by trade, I enjoyed having it explained in the world of writers, both for websites and books. Thanks!
ReplyGreat point about medium grey color being bad for website text. I’m baffled how designers don’t understand it and use it often. It’s hard to read even for younger folks sometimes, esp. with thin font.
Definitely a very inconvenient mistake!
ReplyI really wanted to make my site by myself – taking into account my preferences. But I also wanted the design of my site to appeal to visitors. I have tried many patterns and combinations. Thanks for your advice guys! With this article, I found a solution that I really like!
