There are many tools available for publishing, and the web has made it easier to distribute digitally, and even promote. And you should be doing it all yourself. Until you get to a point that you can’t.
Your book may need an illustration for it to work well. Or good copy editing. Or someone to help you record a good music video for your song. And just as you’re creative with your art, other people can help it shine by adding their own creativity. And they can actually be affordable!
They are indie creators like you, with their own tools to make them better and make their workflow easier. And this applies to setting up your online presence. While you can use a template for your website initially, an original design by a professional designer, tailored around you and your work, is what makes you stand out.
Tools for building a website have gotten bloated, especially for custom design work. Hiring a web designer means you have to use a complicated content management system that costs a lot of money to setup. And then you have to pay to maintain updates for it. Along with the on-going cost to host.
However, there are web designers who are able to work around the complexity for simpler, more cost-effective solutions. They utilize a static build process that reduces the setup process to get up and running, which also means a lower hosting cost, and the added bonus of making the site load very fast.
The static build process is mainly utilized by web designers who know how to code. But there are new tools coming out that help out with that. One of these tools is Blocks Edit which allows web designers to setup a static site design and make it work in an interface that anyone can use.
So where are these web designers? We’re going to list them here for you as we find them ourselves. If you are one, or know someone who is, reach out to us to expand the list! For now, here’s our first one:
