Author Website Design for William R. Cross

Project Description

Art-Inspired Author Website for a Renowned Winslow Homer Biographer – Perfect for Scholars, Historians, and Illustrated Nonfiction Authors.

The Challenge: Bill needed a site that honored Winslow Homer’s artwork as immersive backgrounds while ensuring readability, fast loading, and easy updates for his speaking schedule and future books.

My Approach/Solution: Designed a site that optimized large art images for speed, integrated subtle American color palette, added custom sections for events and bio.

The Outcome: Launched in weeks, Bill’s site now serves as a professional hub for book sales, speaking bookings, and museum consulting.

This project was a highlight — blending fine art aesthetics with practical author tools.

Critical Elements: High-res artwork showcase, speaking/event needs, multiple books/legacy focus, an elegant, story-driven site.
