Sometimes Authors Even Write About Us!
Just got a terrific website makeover. I highly recommend Rocket Expansion for your website. They have great attention to detail and wonderful to work with!
I couldn't be happier with my website. It truly brings a smile to my face. I initially planned to just get a simple one or two page site, but I'm so glad that I found Rocket Expansion. Your team was extremely skilled, professional, and went above and beyond. The software you use to track the change requests is true perfection. You most definitely exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for helping me bring the Shark Stories characters to life. High fives all around!
I had a great experience with Rocket Expansion and I highly recommend them. I have a very complicated website and I wanted it completely redesigned and updated. They did a beautiful job. I really dislike technology and I’m bad at it. They have a refreshingly easy process for showing what they have done all along the way and letting me suggest specific changes. They also created an instruction manual at the end. I often asked dumb questions, but they never acted at all impatient with me. They respond promptly and graciously. I’ve already recommended them to other people and will continue to do so.
To say that Rocket Expansion built us an excellent website would be a tremendous understatement. It is a complicated process requiring a thousand different decisions but the team at Rocket Expansion was unbelievably supportive of us through the entire process. They obviously have the technical expertise but, more importantly, they invested their hearts into making sure that the look and feel as well as the functionality of the site was exactly how we imagined it would be. If I need to develop an additional site going forward, I will absolutely want to work with this amazing team again.
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.
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
