Client case study

Tales of Talaire

Dorian Reyes, independent author · Publishing / creator platform

A custom author platform for a New Adult fantasy series, with its own visual identity, book and character pages, and a content system the author can update without editing page code.

Tales of Talaire dark fantasy author platform homepage with Kickstarter call to action

What the Client Needed

A debut author needed a credible home for the series before a Kickstarter campaign. It had to match the atmosphere of the books, support the launch, and stay easy to update as new material became available.

What I Built

A multi-page site for the book, stories, character gallery, and author information

Custom dark fantasy art direction shaped around the series instead of a stock template

A config-driven content system that keeps facts, links, and page copy in a small set of editable data files

Safe coming-soon states for Kickstarter, Discord, and social links that were not ready at launch

A static Vercel deployment with the custom domain and DNS configured
