Vintage Novel Promo E-Commerce Site
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a full-featured website that captures the vintage, classic mood of my newly released novel and turns that atmosphere into sales. I already own the domain; what I’m missing is a beautifully themed, responsive site that I can point it to.
Homepage & look
The layout should feel timeless—think rich serif typography, textured backgrounds and muted color accents that echo the book’s era. A hero banner will showcase a 50–60-second trailer (YouTube or self-hosted, whichever streams fastest) alongside still images from the cover art and illustrations.
Storefront
Visitors must be able to buy:
• physical copies (hardback & paperback)
• instant digital downloads (ePub, Kindle, PDF)
• related merchandise (prints, bookmarks, mugs, etc.)
WooCommerce, Shopify, or an equally robust cart is fine as long as it supports secure checkout, real-time shipping, automated download links for e-books, and basic inventory tracking.
Core pages
• About the Author – a bio section I can update myself
• Book Reviews – space for pull quotes or a blog-style feed I can add to over time
Technical needs
• Mobile-first build in clean HTML5/CSS3 (or a proven theme)
• SSL ready, SEO-friendly structure, and fast load times
• CMS access so I can edit text, swap images, and add new products without touching code
• Connection to my existing domain and email
Deliverables & hand-off
1. Fully functioning site deployed to live hosting and pointed at my domain
2. Admin credentials with a short video or PDF walk through of routine tasks (adding reviews, products, coupons)
3. Source files and any licensed assets
Once everything is live and I’ve confirmed the store flows from product page to confirmation email without errors, the project is complete. If this vintage-themed build excites you, let’s get started.
Also I need it to tie into Print On Demand when payment is received.
