What needed to work

An author launch with a single goal: build the email list before the book drops. No store, no blog, no distractions, just a page that captures genuine interest.

build

What was built

  • One page, one conversion: The entire site exists to earn an email address.
  • A real double opt-in flow: Signup, confirmation email, confirmed state, all handled properly, so the list being built is real people who actually want the book.
  • A look that belongs to the author: Nothing about the design is reusable on another site.
  • Launch-ready bones: When the book ships, the page flexes from list-building to selling without a rebuild.
outcome

Why it matters

Restraint was the design. Every additional section an author site usually carries would have cost signups, so the build says one thing and says it well. The craft went into type, rhythm, and the feeling that a real person wrote this, because one did.

in their words

The client, in her own words.

from Casi
I am so grateful for Cross Designs! I needed two websites built in a short amount of time, and Aiden delivered. He went above and beyond to ensure my vision for each came to life, and he guided me through website design choices, email capture and domain name ideas. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional that has a consultative and personalized approach to building your dream website.

Want to know what your site is leaving on the table?

Same eyes, same process, on your site. I go through it the way a customer would, then send you a plain list of what is costing you work and what I would fix first.

Get an honest teardown of what your site is costing you.

Step 1 of 3
Pick whichever is closest. We can sort the details later.
Drop the address of the site you want reviewed.
Even one word works. Roofing, catering, dog grooming.
Pick a real city from the list, or type it like Kendall, FL.
A name helps me reply to a person, not a form.
That looks incomplete. Try something like you@email.com.

Rather skip the form? Call me at (786) 841-8475.

Got it. Your review is on the way, usually within a day or two.

Hm, that didn't go through. Email me instead: cross@crossdesigned.com
