The platform studio for authors

Your books deserve a home of their own.

Kingsley & Hart designs and builds websites, wikis, reader chatbots and book stores exclusively for authors. One fixed quote in rupees, one studio, and a platform that keeps working for your books long after launch day.

What we do

Six services, all written for authors.

Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed quote. We only build for authors, so we already know what a bibliography page, a launch week and a reader newsletter need.

i.

Author website design and development

The author webpage your name deserves: custom designed, quick on a weak connection and written to rank when readers search for you.

  • Home, books, about, events and press kit pages
  • Individual page for every book with buy links
  • Mobile first, accessible, SEO ready
  • A blog or journal you can edit yourself

ii.

Author wiki and AI powered tools

A searchable wiki for your books on your own domain, plus AI tools that help you and your readers work with the material.

  • Characters, places, timelines and glossaries
  • Series bible kept consistent as you write
  • Search across your own manuscripts and notes
  • Reading guides and discussion questions

iii.

Reader chatbots and assistants

A chatbot trained only on your books, interviews and FAQs, so readers get quick answers and you get a clearer picture of what they want.

  • Answers drawn from your own content
  • Spoiler aware replies by book
  • Newsletter sign-up and event enquiries
  • Web widget or WhatsApp assistant

iv.

Direct book stores

Sell signed copies, ebooks, bundles and merchandise from your own site, connected to Indian payment and shipping providers.

  • Razorpay payment integration
  • Shipping and tracking integration
  • Pre-orders, bundles and coupon codes
  • Order admin and sales reporting

v.

Launch automation and integrations

The quiet work that fills a launch week: the right email at the right time, without you copying names between tools.

  • Newsletter and launch sequences
  • Advance copy delivery to reviewers
  • Sheets, CRM and email workflows
  • Scheduled sales and sign-up reports

vi.

Care and maintenance

An author site is never really finished. Monthly plans keep it current, secure and ready for the next release.

  • Security and dependency updates
  • Uptime and error monitoring
  • Backups and recovery
  • Monthly pool for new-book updates

Author reviews

Reviews that are earned, then shown well.

Reviews are how readers decide. We build the pages and the workflow that help you collect genuine reviews and present them properly, across your site and your wiki.

  • Review pages for every bookVerified reader reviews, press mentions and awards, placed where buyers are deciding.
  • Advance reader workflowSend advance copies, track who received them and send polite reminders, all automated.
  • Review links in the right placesOne-tap links to your retailer review pages inside emails, the chatbot and your wiki.
  • Press and endorsement showcaseBlurbs, interviews and coverage organised into a clean press kit page.

We never write, buy or invent reviews.

Every review we display comes from a real reader or publication, and we link to the original wherever one exists. It protects your reputation and keeps you on the right side of retailer rules.

We build the system that makes it easy for genuine readers to say something. What they say is theirs.

How we work

Four stages. You know the cost and the date before we write a line of code.

Stage 01

Discovery call

A short call or written exchange about your books, your readers and what you want your author platform to do. Free, with no obligation to continue.

Stage 02

Scope and fixed quote

You receive a written proposal listing every page, feature and integration, the delivery date, the price in rupees, and what is explicitly not included. Work begins once you approve it and pay the booking amount.

Stage 03

Build in visible sprints

You get a live preview link from week one and an update at the end of every sprint. Feedback rounds are built into the schedule, so changes happen while they are still cheap to make.

Stage 04

Launch and handover

We deploy to your domain, hand over every credential and the full source code, and walk you through it on a recorded call. Thirty days of support are included after that.

Built on

Boring infrastructure, so the interesting part is your book.

We keep the stack deliberately small. Fewer moving parts means fewer things that can break in the middle of a launch week.

Edge hosting

Sites deployed on Cloudflare, served from data centres close to your readers, with free TLS and DDoS protection.

Modern front end

Hand written HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or React where the project genuinely needs it. Light pages for readers on weak mobile connections.

Language models

Claude, GPT and open models chosen per task, with caching and cost controls so your bill stays predictable.

Indian payments

Razorpay checkout and webhooks wired up correctly, with order records you can reconcile.

Pricing

Published prices. No call needed to find out what things cost.

Starting prices for the most common shapes of author project. Anything larger or unusual gets a custom quote, still fixed and still written down before we start.

Priced to your needs, not to a package

Quoted per project

If your project does not fit a tier, we scope it with you and quote it fixed, in writing, before you pay anything. You pay for what you need and nothing else.

Request a custom quote

  • Number of books, series and wiki entries
  • Custom features, integrations and AI workflows

For audits, troubleshooting, and advice on an existing author site. Billed in blocks of five hours, used whenever you need them.

All prices are in Indian Rupees and are the final amount payable. Kingsley & Hart is not registered under GST, so no tax is added on top of the quoted price. Projects begin with a 40 percent booking amount, with the balance split across delivery milestones. Payments are accepted by UPI, debit card, credit card, net banking and wallets through Razorpay, and by bank transfer for larger engagements. Domain, hosting, and any third party software or model usage fees are billed at actual cost and are not included above. Full terms are set out in our Terms and Conditions and Refund and Cancellation Policy.

Questions

The things authors ask before they pay us.

How long does a project actually take?

A five page author website is usually live in 7 to 10 working days. A site with a wiki and reader chatbot takes 3 to 4 weeks. Custom platforms run 6 to 8 weeks or longer depending on scope. The exact date goes into your written proposal before you pay anything, and if a date is at risk we tell you as soon as we know rather than on the deadline.

What exactly is an author wiki?

It is a searchable reference site for your books, living on your own domain. Characters, places, timelines, glossaries and series facts get their own pages, linked together the way readers expect. It helps fans explore your world and helps you keep a long series consistent.

Do you write or buy reviews for my books?

No, never. We build review pages and an advance reader workflow so genuine readers can find you and leave honest reviews, and we display real reviews with links to the original source. Fabricated or purchased reviews break retailer rules and damage trust.

How do payments work?

Projects start with a 40 percent booking amount. The rest is split across agreed delivery milestones, with the final instalment due before we deploy to your live domain. We accept UPI, cards, net banking and wallets through Razorpay, and bank transfer for larger engagements. A dated invoice with a unique number is issued for every payment received.

What is your refund policy?

You can cancel before work begins and we refund the full amount. Once work has begun the order cannot be cancelled for a refund, but anything we could not deliver is refunded in full, as is any duplicate or failed payment. We approve refunds within 2 working days, and Razorpay returns the money to your original payment method, usually within 5 to 7 working days. The full details are in our Cancellation and Refund Policy.

Who owns the code, the design and my content?

You do, once the final invoice is paid. We hand over the complete source code, design files and every credential. Your manuscripts and notes stay yours and are never used to train models. We keep no lock in and charge nothing to release your own project.

Do you work with authors outside India?

Yes. Most of the work happens over email, shared documents and scheduled calls, so location is rarely a problem. International clients are invoiced in INR unless another currency is agreed in writing before the project starts.

What do you need from us to start?

Your author bio, book details and cover images if you have them, access to your domain, and one person who can approve decisions. If your content is not ready we can work from a structure and swap in the real text later, though that usually adds a few days.

About Kingsley & Hart

Kingsley & Hart is a web and artificial intelligence studio for authors, based in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, India, working with writers across the country and abroad. We design and build author websites, author wikis, reader chatbots, book stores and review pages, and we look after them afterwards. Kingsley & Hart is a brand of Infinity Intelligence, a sole proprietorship owned by Bhanu Pratap Srivastav. Everything we sell is a professional service delivered digitally, so there is nothing to ship and no delivery charge on any invoice.

The studio operates as an unregistered business in India. It is not registered under GST, so the price you are quoted is the final amount payable with no tax added on top.

Payments and invoicing

Online payments are collected through Razorpay, which supports UPI, debit and credit cards, net banking and wallets. Card and banking details are entered on the gateway and are never seen or stored by us. Bank transfer is available for larger engagements.

  • All amounts are billed in Indian Rupees
  • 40 percent booking amount, balance across milestones
  • A numbered invoice is issued for every payment
