What’s included
-
Within 48 hours of purchase, your template will be set up as a brand new Squarespace trial site, ready for you to customize. Then you’re off to the races!
-
Knowing what to write is half the battle. This guide walks you through every page and section so you show up to your setup day with your content ready to go.
-
A checklist of every photo and graphic you'll need before you start building, so you're not hunting through your camera roll mid-tutorial.
-
A step-by-step walkthrough built specifically for this template. Covers fonts, colors, images, copy, testing, and everything up to launch.
-
Editable graphics sized and styled for your specific website so all you need to do is swap out your colors and fonts.
-
Real help from a real human. If you get stuck, have questions, or something's not looking right, we're here.
What you need
-
You don't need to sign up before you purchase. We'll walk you through the whole process after checkout. We recommend the Core plan, which includes features like Newsletter Blocks, Announcement Bars, and custom CSS that many of our templates use.
-
Your domain is your website address (like "authorname.com"). You can purchase it anytime and only need to connect it when you're ready to go live. We'll show you how.
-
All editable graphics come in Canva format, so you'll need a free Canva account to customize them. Some elements need to be downloaded as transparent PNGs, which is a Canva Pro feature. We recommend starting a free 30-day Canva Pro trial, which gives you plenty of time to download everything you need.
Design details
-
Pretty much everything. Colors, fonts, images, section layout, and copy are all fully editable inside Squarespace and Canva.
-
Every template includes the five core pages every author needs: Homepage, About, Books, Contact, and Privacy Policy.
Additional pages like FAQ, Media Kit, Events, and Individual Book Pages may also be included. Check the live demo for the full breakdown. (We're always adding more!)
-
All fonts used in your template are available within Squarespace. We've also included links to free alternatives you can use in Canva to keep everything consistent across your graphics.
-
Your template comes with a ready-to-go color palette, or you can swap in your own. We'll walk you through updating both your Squarespace site and your Canva graphics so everything matches seamlessly.
-
All demo photography is sourced from free stock sites. We've included links to every image so you can use them as-is or swap in your own anytime.
If you’re thinking…
"Ugh, can I just hire you to customize this template for me?"
Absolutely!
The Rewrite package is exactly that. We’ll install your template and customize it with your images, branding, and colors in a single day. All you'll have to do is fill in your text, connect your domain, and upgrade your Squarespace plan when you're ready to go live.
Hey there, I'm Nadine!
I've been building websites on Squarespace for years, but more importantly, I've been binge-reading romance since before it was cool. (It's cool now, right? ...Right?)
I'm based in Toronto, and when I'm not building author websites I'm adding to my TBR pile and very seriously considering starting one of the three romance novel ideas I have on the back burner. Maybe. Soon. Probably.
I handle the design and the tech side of things so you don't have to wear yet another hat. You can just focus on writing.
(And if you're a later-career author with a more complex wishlist? I do fully custom builds too. Let's talk.)
FAQ
-
Not at all. Our templates are designed to be intuitive and beginner-friendly. You'll also get a full setup guide and walkthrough video to help you every step of the way.

New subscriptions include a free domain for the first year.
