Project Challenge

Richard Plinke is a Rutgers-educated author with five published books spanning sales expertise (the Dragon series), pandemic essays (COVID-19 House Arrest), and fiction (The Capricious Nature of Being). He needed an updated professional author website to sell books, promote speaking engagements, and showcase his writing.

Without a digital platform, readers couldn’t discover his most recent work, event organizers couldn’t book him, and his Amazon reviews weren’t converting browsers into buyers.

Project Solutions

We built an author website showcasing all five books with Amazon links, blog posts and essays, an event calendar, speaking information, testimonials, and a newsletter signup. The design emphasizes his dual expertise as both sales trainer and fiction author. Mobile-optimized and built for author searches in Allentown and Lehigh Valley, the site positions Richard as both a satirist and business writer, converting visitors into readers and speaking clients.

Client Feedback

“Kelly built a site that finally gives people a place to discover everything I’ve written and published. Now when someone Googles my name or looks for a speaker in the Lehigh Valley, they find a professional author platform instead of scattered Amazon listings. That’s what I needed.”
