Hi there! I’m Tania, the author and creator of SCAREMOOR (amazon.com/dp/B0DKLDSJBC?binding=kindle_edition&searchxofy=true&ref_=dbs_s_aps_series_rwt_tkin&qid=1745420709&sr=8-3) —a creepy, cinematic middle-grade horror series for brave readers ages 8–12. I’m looking for a talented designer/developer to create a custom author + book series website that reflects the eerie, immersive world of Scaremoor.

This site should feel like the digital version of walking into a haunted school hallway, mysterious forest, or cursed attic—creepy, age-appropriate, immersive, and beautifully built. Think Goosebumps meets Stranger Things, but for kids.

I own Scaremoor.com and have the branding, story universe, and audience goals mapped out. I need a creative partner to bring it to life.

📚 About SCAREMOOR:

Scaremoor is a growing universe of spooky short stories and full-length books—each rooted in emotional realism, strange happenings, and psychological chills. Everything is age-appropriate, atmospheric, and high-interest for reluctant readers.

Books include:

The Forgotten Door (free lead magnet)

The Haunted Locker

The Phantom Playground

The Night of the Living Vines

The Changing Portrait (coming soon)

The Vanishing Words (being written)

...and more...

What I Need:

1. Homepage

Tagline, intro, moody art or animation

“Read a Free Story” CTA button

Subtle movement or atmospheric effects (fog, flicker, etc.)

Floating or parallax fog

1. Lead Magnet Landing Page

Promo for free short story (PDF + ePub)

Email signup (I use ConvertKit/Kit)

1. Books Page

Grid of all current & future titles

Cover images + descriptions

“Read More” or “Buy” links

1. About the Author Page

Short, quirky, spooky-fun author bio

Optional headshot or illustrated avatar

1. Join the Club Page

Invite readers to sign up for exclusive extras

Future freebies: sneak peeks, wallpapers, secret stories

1. Footer

IG + FB icons, email opt-in, eerie quote, copyright

Design Inspiration:

Visual style:

Moody, storybook-meets-cinematic

Fog, flickering light, mysterious glows

Think: a haunted locker with a glowing crack, not a horror movie poster

Example site vibe I like:

taylortyng.com – playful, clean, scrollable—but mine should feel eerier (home page only, the rest is bland)

Colors:

Deep purples, forest greens, bone white, candlelight yellow, foggy teal

Fonts:

Clean for body (open sans), something fun for headings (see attachements)

Platform & Tech

Preferred: Webflow, WordPress, or a clean custom site with CMS/easy updating. I’m a retired developer but don’t want to build this one myself—I want something beautiful and ready to go, with clean code, good SEO structure, and mobile responsiveness.

I use ConvertKit (Kit) for email and can provide embed code.
