Muse & Co. Author Website Template
A textured, story-led website for coaches, brand strategists and nonfiction authors, that you own outright. Fifty-one pages, from a book page with every format and a turning “look inside” page to services, a membership, a shop, a media kit and three galleries, all edited from a simple dashboard without touching code.
- Built for people who sell their thinking as well as their books: services, a single-service page, a membership and a shop sit beside the books.
- Every book gets a page with a tab for each format, its ISBN, page count and publisher, every place to buy it, and a “look inside” page that turns.
- Paper grain, torn edges, arched photos and handwritten notes give it texture and depth, not a stock-template look.
- Change any word or picture, add and reorder page sections, and write blog posts from a simple dashboard. No code.
- No plugins to update and nothing to hack. You own the code, the domain and every account.

About Muse & Co. Author Website Template
Muse & Co. is for the writer whose books are part of a bigger body of work: the coach, the strategist, the nonfiction author whose readers also book sessions, join a membership or buy a course. It is quiet and textured, with paper grain, torn edges, arched photographs and handwritten notes in the margins, and it gives the book pages and the services pages the same care.
Every word and picture is edited from a simple dashboard, where each page is a stack of sections you can rewrite, reorder, add or remove. Adding a book or a blog post takes minutes.
The forms, the shop, the cart and the membership screens are fully designed and work as a showcase: forms check what visitors type and say plainly that nothing was sent, and the shop takes no payments. Connecting the forms to your email service is an add-on below, and I can quote for switching on real payments.
Good to know: the demo photos and covers are for previewing only. Use your own images on your site. Your license covers one website.

You do not need another course about content. You need the page in front of you to stop being blank, and you need it to look like someone with taste made it.
Everything in the shop comes from the same desk: built for my own books, clients, and newsletters first, then cleaned up and put on the shelf.
