Designing Your Ebook Web Page

You’ll want to get your sales page set up. You can hire this out – there are literally thousands of web designers out there – you’ll pay $150 for help with a page or two and up to $5,000 for a complicated set of pages with storefront and graphics.

Finding a web designer online is much of the same old same old. Do an Internet search, or ask one of your technical friends for recommendations.

Use the home-page designing software provided by your web host, or just pay the web host’s fee-based designers.

What I recommend is that you tap into your ebook cover artist. Remember how I said you should develop a relationship? Once you get to that point, you can get some additional advice and help from them. Ask if they also do web page design or if they can refer you to someone good.

Note: Novice web designers use software such as MS Word or FrontPage. Experienced web designers may use Macromedia Fireworks with Dreamweaver or other package.

Definitely outsource your web page design, at least for your first ebook. This is worth the money, in the same way that hiring a ghostwriter and cover artist is worth the money. After you outsource your first web page, and some time down the road when you have more time on your hands, you could learn a bit about web design. Then you can copy the page you had designed professionally and use it as a template to self-design additional pages for new ebooks that you create.
