Hi everyone,I thought I'd add my new, revamped website and ask a question. On the site, I say to click on 'PRODUCTS' for a full description & link to store. Is it assumed everyone would know to click on the link? Is it tacky to request they do that?

I'm a fan of Annie Laurie Cechini's site: annielauriecechini.com. Partially, I suppose, because I am her webmaster. But I think it does a great job of presenting her as an author and her work.
Yes, in deed, Annie has a very nice website. I might look up you (Matt) up when I get ready for my site (lol).

Book blog article Does the Media Really Reflect Our Values? http://justthinkingjustsaying.blogspo...
Hi everyoneI've had a look at a few websites and on the whole, they all look so much sexier than mine! Is it a case of you get what you pay for? I'm just starting out as an Indie and don't have the luxury of paying for a fancy site, but if you want to have a look and comment, please do!
http://www.jaynelockwood.com/
The issue with sexy websites is entirely down to perception. A sexy website may not serve you well because it gets no where in the search engines r entices anyone to buy your books, yet a poor looking website could do better because of optimization. Now it is rather like buying at a thrift store. You can get deals but ultimately you get what you pay for in terms of quality and value. A good balance of design, optimization, social media will set you up very well.
I wouldn't know! Thanks for the advice. There is only so much money an author has at their disposal and I actually like my website because people know what they are getting, rather than something that tries to be too clever. I think I was falling into the trap of panicking about what I "should" be doing instead of getting on with it, which is writing!
I've upgraded my personal website with all my current books. Would like feedback please!http://www.keithhoare.com

Hi Keith
I have just looked at your website and on the whole, I liked it. It was easy to navigate, friendly and informative, and I loved the layout with the scroll menu and the simple but effective photograph behind it.
My only comment would be that for the genres you are writing in (romance, fantasy, fairy tales) the colour scheme seems too stark. I appreciate that as a man you won't want a site with pink flowers and sparkles, but the monochrome colours seem rather sombre. The red you use doesn't stand out much, which is a shame. Something a tad brighter would be easier on the eye.
These are just my immediate impressions as I saw the site. I hope this helps...
Jayne
PS. Just went back and saw your gallery page. Love it! It has so much impact, it should be on the home page!
Thank you, Jayne, for your comments. I suppose mute colours are a man thing. However, I’ve altered the background, the red words and added different photos for the fairies and romance. It’s going to be a lot more difficult to move the gallery to the first page, but I’m not rejecting it, I’m looking at your suggestion. With so many books it’s really difficult to make one more important than others. Although ‘The Royal Grandchild’ is the most recent. That is why I placed it on the front page.
If you care to look at the improvements, you may need to reload the pages, as computers remember where you’ve been, so you may see no difference.

Sorry! I meant thank you for reading my comments!I love the new colours. They have a lot more impact and are far more vibrant and interesting. I love the photos too. Catwalk Supermodel looks intriguing and I'll give it a go, as it has obviously been a labour of love. I hope you get feedback from others as well, but I think it looks great. :)
Just thought I'd add my site here - only just gone up and any feedback would be appreciated.http://www.mattpike.co/
