“Lightwell Web Designs took my chaotic ideas and turned them into a site my readers actually use.”
“Clear communication, fair pricing, and a site that finally feels like me.”
Lightwell Web Designs is a small web studio focused on authors, storytellers, and creative brands. We believe you shouldn’t have to learn code or spend agency-level money just to have a professional online home.
We keep things simple: clear communication, predictable pricing, and websites that are easy for you to update later.

Lightwell Web Designs is based in Zimbabwe and works with clients worldwide. International payments are handled through trusted online payment providers.
This is general information only and not financial or legal advice. You are responsible for complying with your local tax and banking rules.
This is not legal advice. For detailed legal terms, you should consult a lawyer in your country.
Lightwell Web Designs focuses on custom, book-focused websites rather than generic templates. Each project includes planning, design, build, testing, and support through launch, with clear revision rounds and communication. You’re not just paying for a page — you’re paying for a site that actually works for your readers and your long-term brand.
It depends on the package and how quickly content arrives. As a guide:
Timelines may change if content, images, or feedback are delayed.
After your deposit is paid, we’ll send a simple checklist. In general, we’ll need your author bio, book blurbs, any images or covers you’d like to use, and links to your platforms (retailers, newsletter, socials). If you don’t have everything yet, we can work around that and plan for future updates.
International clients pay in USD via trusted online payment providers. All invoices include clear instructions and a secure payment link. Local clients in Zimbabwe can discuss bank transfer or other options. Specific payment details are shared in your proposal and invoice.
Each package includes a set number of revision rounds so we can keep the scope clear and fair. If you’d like additional rounds beyond that, we’re happy to provide them as an add-on, quoted based on the amount of extra work involved.
Yes. We offer simple update options such as adding a new book, changing text, or creating a new section. Future updates are quoted individually so you only pay for what you need.
