Martin Shannon arrived at his website design with an idea for his marketing plan — with a time table for story releases, a plan for an email marketing list, and a diligent work ethic, Martin engaged me to pull together the wrapper: a website that reflected his ties to Florida; a key setting in all of his work.

As a means of increasing service requests for concierge, we tested a scenario on our product category results page, wherein by placing a call to action and trust statement within the top 700px viewing area, we were able to improve conversions 60% over a month-long time span.

KiraButler.com is the heart of my author platform. Using the website to focus building market interest in my career as a horror and dark fantasy writer for young adults, it’s a portfolio of written work, a place to share news with fans of the genre, and a vehicle for generating interest in the topics I write about.
