Features

Everything your author website needs.

No page builders, no plugin maze, no SEO checklists. Zenpage gives authors the tools that matter and handles the rest behind the scenes.

Book catalog pages

Each book gets its own page with cover art, description, and purchase links to Amazon, Bookshop, or anywhere you sell. Readers land on your site and know exactly where to buy.

Author blog

Write in markdown, save drafts, publish when ready. Every post gets a clean URL and your blog auto-generates an RSS feed so subscribers never miss an update.

Custom domain support

Connect a domain you already own with free SSL included. Or publish at yourname.zenpage.io, works either way. Switch whenever you want, no downtime.

Built-in SEO

Meta tags, OpenGraph images, JSON-LD structured data, sitemap, robots.txt. All auto-generated the moment you hit publish. You never configure a single thing.

Newsletter embed

Plug in your Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Substack, or Beehiiv signup form. It lives right on your homepage so readers can subscribe without leaving your site.

5 templates, 18+ color schemes

Each template was designed after studying real author websites, not generic business themes. Pick the mood that fits your writing, then fine-tune the colors.

Events calendar

Post your readings, signings, conferences, and online appearances with a date, location, and ticket link. Once an event passes, it moves to a "past" section so your page always looks current.

ISBN book import

Type in one ISBN from any of your books. Zenpage looks up your name and pulls the rest of your catalog from Google Books and Open Library, covers included. It also adds Amazon and Bookshop.org buy links for each title.

Image optimization

Upload any image. We resize it, compress it, convert it to WebP, and serve it through a global CDN. Your pages load fast and you never think about file formats.

Mobile-first responsive

Every template adapts to phones, tablets, and desktops. No separate mobile version, no awkward pinch-to-zoom. Your site looks right on whatever screen your reader picks up.

Under the hood

The stuff you shouldn’t have to think about but probably want to know exists. Every Zenpage site ships with all of this, automatically.

SPEED

Pages load in under a second. Static rendering, optimized assets, edge caching. Your site is faster than most readers’ attention spans.

SECURITY

Free HTTPS on every site, custom domains included. DDoS protection through Cloudflare. No passwords to manage, just magic link auth.

CDN

Images and pages served from the nearest data center to your reader. Whether they’re in London or Los Angeles, your site loads fast.

RSS

Your blog generates an RSS feed automatically. Readers who still use feed readers (there are dozens of them) will appreciate it.

SOCIAL CARDS

Share your site on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn and it shows a proper preview card with title, description, and image. Not a sad blank link.

UPTIME

Your site doesn’t share a server with a hundred other websites. It stays up even when someone else’s blog post goes viral.
