Buckramwell — Author Template Setup Guide
Everything you need to customize colours, typography, Books and Essays CMS collections, native forms, and the three interactive literary components before publishing your author site.
100% FREE COMMUNITY TEMPLATE ($0)
Buckramwell is completely free ($0) to remix, customize, and publish for personal or commercial author websites — no licence fee, payment, or refund process applies. Delete or unpublish /guide whenever you are ready to launch.
Customize your author website in six steps
STEP 01 · COLOURS & FONTS
Edit Shared Styles Once
Open the Assets panel → Styles to customize the 11 Colour Styles (such as Surface / Base and Brand / Primary) and 9 Text Styles (Cormorant Garamond, Source Sans 3, and IBM Plex Mono). Every page and card updates automatically.
STEP 02 · SITE SHELL & METADATA
Update Header, Footer & SEO
Open Assets → Site Shell (Nav / Header and Nav / Footer) to swap Lydia Battenwell for your author name and links once across all 11 pages. Then upload your own Favicon and Social Preview image in Site Settings.
STEP 03 · BOOKS & ESSAYS CMS
Add Your Novels & Dispatches
Click CMS in the top toolbar to edit the Books and Essays collections. Replace the 4 sample books and 3 craft essays with your own cover artwork, synopses, edition specs, Chapter One rich-text excerpts, and slugs.
STEP 04 · INTERACTIVE TOOLS
Configure the 3 Literary Widgets
Select BuckramwellBookStage (3D hardcover tilt & format pills), BuckramwellChapterReader (in-page sample reader with Paper/Sepia/Night modes), or BuckramwellReaderKit on the canvas to edit all copy and colours in the right-hand panel.
STEP 05 · FORMS & NEWSLETTER
Connect Your Inbox or Webhook
Select Form / Email Sign-up or the Contact Inquiry Form on /contact and configure Form Destinations in the right-hand properties panel to forward submissions to your email address or webhook endpoint.
STEP 06 · LEGAL & PRE-LAUNCH CHECK
Swap Bracketed Placeholders
Replace [ Author Name Placeholder ], [ Literary Agency Placeholder ], reader@buckramwell.example, rights@buckramwell.example, /privacy, and /terms with your real details. Keep /guide set to noindex or delete it before launch.
