“Jin was relaxed and an extremely clear communicator. Jin has plenty of helpful advice, both creative and technical. I wanted a clean design, and an easy-to-operate site, and that’s exactly what I’ve got – which makes me another happy client.”

I had run a website for a number of years using templates from a web host. My website looked homemade at best. I wasted untold hours trying to fix it.

When I decided to branch out and go indie I decided that time was one thing I didn’t have, so outsourcing my website was a major priority. I looked at a few overseas website designers and then decided to find an Australian website designer. I was thrilled to find a Melbourne based website designer who specialized in author websites. I loved the look of Jin’s templates so I got in touch.

Jin has been great to work with, he has listened to what I wanted and delivered a website that makes me smile every time I log on. My website is clean, beautiful and works.

Getting a professional to build my website was one of the best decisions I have made in my indie journey. I can concentrate on my writing knowing that I have a great looking website which displays all my books to their very best. I would highly recommend any author serious about their writing to invest a little in a website which not only brings them joy but brings readers and gives them a seamless way to purchase your books.

I came to Jin & Co because Jin has a reputation in the Australian literary scene, as the premier web designer for author sites. And now that I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on a site of my own, I completely understand how he has come to be so well regarded by my peers.

As an emerging author, I needed a website that was about where I’ve been, where I’m going, and what I’ve achieved thus far. I wanted a clean, fresh website that could communicate all my various goings-on, but could also generate more work for me by being a place where I could collect my freelance writing achievements. Jin delivered with a beautifully efficient and fresh website that’s so easy to navigate, and that I can see will grow with me as a writer.

He was extremely patient, thorough and so easy to communicate with – he translated my rather haphazard wish-list into a coherent and easy to navigate site that looks deceptively simple, but has a lot going on ‘under the hood’, so to speak.

I really appreciate that as my career and role changes, my website changes with me – it’s completely adaptable and awesome.

To other authors or creative’s out there who need a website that really works for you and your unique profession – I can’t recommend Jin & Co highly enough.

If you are looking for someone to design your professional author website, then you can stop looking now! Jin & Co. are the goods!

Jin is one of those talented IT guys who also has the gift of creative genius. Through thoughtful questioning, Jin was able to help me discover my ‘online identity’. He was able to take my ideas and turn them into an online reality.

The process was simple, straightforward, professional and productive. Although I live in regional NSW, Jin was in regular contact via email, Skype and phone. This made me feel engaged and connected to the web design project. Even now that my site is live and I’m managing it myself, Jin’s support is only ever an email away.

Because the internet is part of our daily lives, it seems like most websites are kind of the same. But I know that my site is something different; it reflects me as a unique individual. Lots of people have commented that my site is quirky, different and most importantly – memorable.

And everyone keeps asking me – who did your website, it looks amazing? The answer is Jin & Co.

I desperately needed a website for my work, but I had no idea how to go about it. A friend of mine in the YA community recommended Jin, and that recommendation totally saved my life.

Jin is great to work with – super quick to respond and to adapt to your needs (for instance, I also do academic research, and even though that’s fairly unusual for author websites, Jin worked out a way to incorporate that into the site). On top of this, his websites are all stunning: I mean, look at mine. 😉

He’s done an amazing job, and it’s taken so much work and stress out of my hands.

I’d recommend him to any author – or anyone, really – looking for a unique, easy-to-use, and gorgeous-to-look-at site.

I can’t tell you how often I’ve been asked, ‘what’s the address of your website?’. I was fed up with muttering that I didn’t have one, but procrastinated on addressing the situation because I thought it would be complicated, time consuming and, above all, prohibitively expensive. I needn’t have worried – Jin made the process easy (even fun!) and delivered a site which looks gorgeous at an affordable price. He also made sure I had the skills to update it, so the site grows with me. I can’t recommend Jin highly enough.

My website was nearly 12 years old and I was ready for something new and fresh.

I went with Jin because he created my OG website and has always been excellent to work with.

Jin is great with communication, problem solving and creative solutions. His experience working with authors means he understands our unique needs, ensuring a website that is both visually appealing and simple to navigate.

Jin listens to your needs and makes great suggestions. He has beautiful pre-made options but also offers custom build designs. He is keenly aware of matching the aesthetic to the writer. I loved the options he presented me with as an author of YA fantasy and science fiction and it was a quick and painless process with clear steps along the way.

I have never had a problem with time difference or working with someone outside of NZ.

Jin makes everything straight forward and easy. He is quick to respond to emails and has been a great website host. On the rare occasion a glitch occurs or I mess something up, he is quick to come to the rescue. So it’s more than a one-off, here’s your website, good luck and shove you out the door, Jin offers great ongoing support and service.

I have always appreciated Jin’s friendly, professional, reliable and excellent service.

The challenge for Jin with my website was that my published books don’t have a cohesive look or category. I needed a website that suited my Junior Fiction as much as my YA Fiction.

It became clear to me that Jin spends time researching each client when he sent me a small list of designs to consider. While they all appealed, one stood out to me as being just the right balance of colour, playfulness and simplicity. Jin knew that each of my books would look good against the background of the ‘Mila’ design.

From then on, Jin was able to organise the existing content from my old website and transform it into two very professional-looking websites.

emilygalebooks.com & theothersideofsummer.com

Not only that, but he did it incredibly quickly for me, knowing that I had a deadline of my own with a new book coming out.

Jin is highly professional, easy-going and conscientious and I’d recommend working with him if – like me – you have a vague idea of what you want but aren’t quite sure how to get there.
