What kind of websites were you planning to build?
Dana Hand is a pen name for two writers who are publishing their first novel with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in Feb 2010. The site describes our book through a film, maps, character sketches, and questions for reading groups. It makes use of Google Analytics and is already building good traffic throughout the world.
How did you hear about Sandvox?
Charter users of Watson and thus long-time Karelia fans.
What made you decide to get Sandvox?
Sandvox gave us a flexible means of producing a professional-quality site. We have completed control over the appearance and contents, at a most reasonable price. Writing, editing, updating and publishing are all quick and easy. We're especially pleased that we may include a Quicktime film, Google Map, downloadable PDFs, and other forms of multimedia so easily. Most readers think they are viewing a professionally-designed site!
Now that you have Sandvox, what do you like about it?
The staff is very responsive to questions and suggestions.
