About The Site
Tam Francis is an author who writes period-specific historical fiction/romance. For her site, she wanted to highlight the vintage eras she loves with some fun and quirky customizations.
What she wanted to include:
“In The Media” page
Contact page
Links to purchase her books
Link to the website for her blog
With a stylized typewriter font that’s cute without being too cutesy and nods to the history that’s prevalent in her books, I created her a site that’s simple, functional, and speaks to her style as a writer.
Tam Francis Home Page
The home page of Tam’s website focuses on the stories she creates, with quick links to purchase her books and newsletter sign-up, plus a link to her blog. All the important info, right up front.
In The Media
One of the main pages Tam wanted to include on her site, this is a simple HTML list that can be easily updated and links to all of her mentions. A dark overlay in the hero image still highlights the energy of an old-school newsroom.
About Tam
Short and sweet, this About page gives Tam’s history along with some images of things she loves, with her still being front & center in the hero image.
Tam’s Contact Page
Playing on the history of writing correspondence, Tam wanted her contact page to be easy to navigate with a low effort to goal ratio.
Custom Animations
To add an interactive element and visual interest, I added a simple hover effect to the links to purchase Tam’s books. Quick and effective, this adds a unique signal that you’re on the right track to purchase.
