ROWAN

A storytelling-driven website framework for authors and creatives

Build a website that feels like an extension of your work. Rowan is a thoughtful, emotionally grounded framework designed for authors, writers, and creatives who want a space that feels sincere, calm, and deeply human.

CREATIVE

DIRECTION

Rowan is designed to feel gentle, reflective, and emotionally grounded. Warm tones and spacious layouts create a serene atmosphere that supports your writing and lets each word land with intention.

A Home for Your Work

You’ve reached a point where your work deserves a home that feels thoughtful and true to you. You want a website that feels calm, intentional, and easy to navigate, but you don’t want to spend weeks wrestling with design decisions or trying to make a template fit your world.

Rowan was created with you in mind.

Instead of handing you a template and sending you on your way, my Two Week Website service gives you a guided, collaborative process. Rowan provides the foundation, and over the course of two weeks, I tailor it to reflect your voice, your style, and the way you naturally share your work. You’re supported throughout, and you finish with a website that feels aligned, polished, and ready to hold your writing with care.

WHAT’S

INCLUDED

Each page in Rowan is intentionally structured to guide readers through your world, your work, and your creative philosophy. The layout is designed to hold long-form writing, rich imagery, and the moments that define your work.

  • HOME

    Your introduction and first impression.

  • ABOUT

    Your creative world and influences.

  • BOOK PAGES

    A deeper look at each piece of work.

  • BLOG

    Your journal and ongoing writing.

  • CONTACT

    A warm invitation to connect.

ROWAN FRAMEWORK

TWO WEEK WEBSITE

+

A Different Kind of Website Experience

Rowan isn’t something you purchase and build on your own. Templates promise simplicity, yet they often leave you feeling stuck, unsure how to shape everything into something that truly feels like you. You might know the atmosphere you want to create, but translating that into design can feel heavy and time-consuming.

Instead of navigating layouts, design choices, and technical decisions alone, Rowan + my Two Week Website experience gives you a guided, supportive process. Rowan offers the foundation, and over two weeks we shape it together into a website that feels aligned with your writing, your voice, and the way you want to be seen.

You’re not left to figure it out by yourself. You’re supported from start to finish, and you finish with a website that feels polished, intentional, and ready to hold your work with care.

THE PROCESS

Step 1

Decide on a framework that suits your needs and click the “Start Your Project” button.

Step 2

Complete an intake questionnaire that will provide me with everything I need to know to put together a proposal for you to review. At this point you’ll also be given some start date options for the project to choose from.

Step 3

Upon approving the proposal, you’ll pay your 50% deposit and add ons using a secure checkout.

Step 4

You’ll receive a welcome email with access to your worksheet. This will walk you through the ins and out of compiling the copy, imagery, and branding for your website. You will need to have this worksheet completed before our start date. We’ll also schedule a 60 minute strategy call to go over the goals you have for your website and to answer any questions you have about compiling the content for your website.

Step 5

After submitting your worksheet, we’ll get going on your website. After one week, you’ll receive a link to view your new website and will be given the opportunity to request any last-minute changes before it goes live.

Step 6

If you are new to Squarespace, you’ll be added to your account and sent instructions on how to pay for your subscription. You’ll also be sent the final invoice for the remaining balance of the project total.

Step 7

On the Friday of the second week, the domain connected and your new website launched! Cue the confetti!
