you a template, we build a website around exactly what you need.

How it works
- 01Tell us what you wantPut together a wishlist in a Word doc (.docx) describing exactly what you expect or need from your website — as much detail as you can. If there’s something we can’t do, or that needs extra work, we’ll discuss it — but put it in the doc anyway.
- 02Send us your filesPackage everything below and email it to cat@plotprose.com.
- 03We build it — then you reviewCat builds your site from your .docx. When it’s done you go over everything and send back a second .docx with any changes. We make it as easy as we possibly can.
What we need from you
Pop it all into one Word doc and attach your files — the more detail you give us,
the better your site will be.
📝 In your wishlist (.docx)
- The pages you want on your site
- Which books are released now & which are coming soon
- Your author bio
- Your colour scheme — if you have one (no scheme yet? we’ll choose one based on your book covers and logo)
- Your social media links
- Anything else you think we might need for your custom site
Rather send too much than too little.
📎 Files to send
- Your book covers
- “Coming soon” placeholder images for unreleased books
- An author profile picture
- Your logo
- … plus anything else you think might help
🌐 A quick note on hosting
Hosting isn’t included in the price. We usually start the build on a clean, empty WordPress set-up
(provided by your hosting provider). If you don’t have that — or you’re not sure what it
means — just chat to Cat and she’ll help you get sorted.
Every author is different — tell us what you need
Tell us what you need and we’ll do our very best to make it happen. Questions before you get your
files together? Cat is happy to help.
