Alexandra Joel
Author Squarespace Website Design
Industry: Publishing/Author
I had the absolute joy of creating this website for the wonderful Alexandra Joel, a bestselling historical fiction author, former editor of Harper’s Bazaar, and an all-around extraordinary woman with a remarkable story to tell, both on and off the page.
From the very beginning, this project was special. It was a complete build, starting with securing the domain, then moving through strategy, design, and development, all the way to launching the finished site and establishing Alexandra’s social media presence. Every element was crafted to reflect the elegance, intelligence, and intrigue that runs through Alexandra’s writing, while also creating a space where readers could feel personally connected to her world.
The website showcases her books, media appearances, events, and interviews while offering a gentle invitation into her life as a writer. We wanted to ensure that long-time fans and new readers alike could discover her work with ease and stay up to date with her latest news.
Working with Alexandra has been an absolute dream. She brought warmth, wit, and trust to the process, and she allowed me to guide her through some unfamiliar territory, particularly when it came to the world of social media. It’s been a privilege to support her voice online and help create a digital home that reflects her grace and strength as both an author and a woman.
