Nice overview. I especially liked "Even if your website is designed to mimic the universe created by your story, people still want to know about the person behind it." Seems like author/book web sites need to balance a few things. There are some new online usability tools that could give web designers a fast, low cost way to test how the site does. I work with UserTesting.com ($29 per test), but Website Magazine wrote up a review of a few of the products that can help: http://bit.ly/2RATxW. Anyway, thanks for the insights here! Hi Kate.
