Hey authors! Let’s talk about something that often makes writers groan – website costs. You know that feeling when you’re comparing website platforms, and suddenly you’re drowning in monthly fees, hidden costs, and features you may (or may not) need? Trust me, we’ve all been there.
But here’s the thing – as an author, your website shouldn’t be another source of stress. It should be as reliable as your favorite writing spot and as easy to deal with as your most loyal reader.
That’s why I want to break down why authors are choosing Crown Nine Studio over the big-name website builders.
Spoiler alert: it’s not just about the money (though you might be surprised at how much you can save). Let’s dive in and compare what you really get with different options.
Squarespace & Wix
The last time I checked, Squarespace was $25/month ($300/year) and Wix was $17/month ($204/year) for hosting.
Here’s the thing, yes, both of them offer DIY templates and their services vary between the quality of service and their features but why should you even have to lift a finger when you’ve got books to write, marketing to handle, and readers waiting for your next release?
With Crown Nine Studio, you get more than just hosting – you get a partner who handles everything. For $588, we’ll build your complete author website AND maintain it for the first year.
After that, your annual hosting is just $238 ($19.83/month). This includes:
- Professional web hosting
- Business email
- Free SSL security
- Daily backups
- Regular site updates
- Plugin maintenance
- Basic SEO
- Author content updates
Compare that to Squarespace at $300/year or Wix at $204/year where you’re doing all the work yourself!
Your time is better spent crafting stories, connecting with readers, and building your author brand. That’s why we’re here to lift the burden of website management off your shoulders.
Think of Crown Nine Studio as your personal website concierge. While you’re working on your next bestseller, we’re quietly in the background keeping everything running smoothly. No technical headaches, no maintenance worries, just a professional website that works as hard as you do.
