The team at Rocket Expansion were amazing to work with. The software that they use for sending questions/comments is pure perfection. It made the process seamless and so streamlined. I have never worked with such efficiency when creating a website. They brought my vision to life in every way possible. I absolutely love it and I challenge everyone to view my website and not be overcome with haptastic feelings!!! I could go on and on, but the bottom line is I would highly recommend working with Rocket Expansion!!!

Rocket Expansion did an amazing job on my new website! They completely nailed the look and intent I was going for. The team has fantastic customer service and support, multiple zoom calls to go over site pages and fine tune the delivery. They go the extra mile to make sure your finished site is absolutely perfect!

I engaged Rocket Expansion to create an expansive website for my author brand. To say they did a good job is the understatement of the century. From start to finish, Matt and Sonja were complete professionals, and bring a real X factor to web design.

I would put the finished product up against any independently published author’s site, and many trade published author’s sites as well.

Finally, since cost is important, when I selected Rocket, I accepted bids from six different website design firms. Accounting for what they did in terms of work (a few companies proposed making a template and then having me fill it in, but Rocket did /everything/), art design and overall coolness factor – they beat out everyone else during the bid phase by leaps and bounds.

I would recommend them to anyone looking for an outstanding website.

I can’t praise the team at Rocket Expansion enough. Throughout Sonja and Matt are incredible, not only talented but responsive.

I have the best website I could have ever imagined and certainly the best experience having my questions answered and all my technical needs met.

I highly recommend Rocket Expansion websites.

I cannot recommend Rocket Expansion highly enough. Sonja and Matt are consummate professionals who helped me (a writer, not a coder) through every step of the process, offering suggestions when asked and turning my vision into reality. Their attention to detail and patience with my requests was fantastic, and the point-and-click comments interface made following progress a breeze. If you are in the market for a new website, the Rocket Expansion team is able to knock it out of the park – give them a call!

I couldn’t be happier with what the team at Rocket Expansion created for my author website. Working with them was easy and they captured my vision perfectly. The best part is the whole thing came together quickly and it was a painless experience all around. I would definitely recommend them to others and use them again in the future.

I recently wrapped up a project with Rocket Expansion – creating a website for my boss, papal biographer, George Weigel.

Matt and Sonja were the dream team to work with in producing a website. After interviewing several potential web designers, they were the clear choice – for the aesthetic design, great communication, consideration of our needs, and fair price. They blew all of our other options out of the water.

Georgeweigel.com has exceeded my expectations in appearance and functionality, and the team at Rocket Expansion has been patient and helpful in assisting us in navigating the new website. They really care about getting you the product you were hoping for. I couldn’t recommend Rocket Expansion more. If you’re hoping to work with professional, efficient, and talented individuals, you’ve found the right place!

Rocket Expansion redesigned my author website and did an outstanding job in every aspect. They were able to hear my vision for the site and turn it into something remarkable and unique.

It is truly a work of art.

Their expertise shows in both the quality of the design and the details of the interactivity users experience. It’s a living, breathing site that you want to spend time looking through.

I was also wholly impressed with the level of customer service. They addressed quickly my every nit-picky comment, and they made sure the site was running flawlessly – and still continue to do so.

Highly recommended.

Rocket Expansion has made my author dreams come true. As a first-time author, I had no idea what I was doing when it came to creating a website. Wix is good for a lot of people, but when I tell you I had no experience, I mean I didn't know the first things about even changing the colors or themes on a page. Rocket Expansion walked me through what I wanted, set up EVERYTHING for me, including the newsletters and interactive maps, and have been there to help me manage a website so I can do it all on my own. If you're in the same boat as me, and you want peace of mind at night when it comes to techy stuff, look no further. Rocket Expansion is incredible.

Awesome to work with Rocket Expansion on my website. They did a great job, even with the 10-hr difference in time zones. Mine was slightly more unique and complicated than I think they bargained for, but they delivered! They have a great touch and feel for a quality end product, and really listened to me when I described what I was trying to achieve. Definitely recommend them, great value, amazing finished product!

It has been a joy to work with Rocket Expansion. The team was friendly, creative, thoughtful and thorough. They talked through my vision for my site and brought it to life in such a lovely way. I appreciated the open communication during the design process and the desire to make sure I was pleased with the results. I'm proud to share my redesigned website and have already recommended their excellent services to friends.

We’re Creatives and Entrepreneurs Ourselves, Who Believe That Books Change The World

We’ve dedicated a division of our digital marketing agency to help authors like you rocket your online presence with author website design that WOWs, so you can reach much further with your story or message.

We’re a partnership built on love, business, and coffee.

Rocket Expansion’s directors, Matt Ziranek and Sonja Graser, decided we would have a whole lot more fun working together and building something amazing than we would on our separate career paths.

It’s proven to be a great decision.

Matt comes from the visual arts. He’s done virtually everything visually creative you can imagine, from enormous oils paintings to life-sized classical greek statues to furnishing architectural enrichments for Russian castles.

He’s no stranger to the digital arts as well…

In more recent years, Matt fell madly in love with digital marketing, becoming SEO certified under a famed SEO project manager for PayPal and Airbnb.

Sonja has a formal and professional grounding in graphic design, web design, and digital marketing.

With a former corporate career in creative marketing for local and international lifestyle brands, Sonja has been a key player in creative marketing teams for nearly two decades.

An adventurer by heart, she’s crossed the Atlantic by yacht, climbed the highest mountain in Africa, and is just generally a badass.

What Is It Costing You To NOT Have An Engaging Website?

Turning Away Readers

If your current website (or lack of one) isn’t professional, well designed, and provides a clear user-journey, you’re turning away readers and book buyers right now.

Writing Energy Wasted

All the energy and creativity you’re putting into your writing will go to waste if potential readers don’t have a good impression of you when they look you up online.

Publicity Opportunities Lost

You could be missing out on publishers, promoters, and media scouts because they’re turned off by your average or amateur looking website

Audience Staying Small

You’re probably missing out on a ton of email list growth because you don’t have a website that gives your readers a clear attractive online journey to get to know you and your books
