What is Zenpage?
Zenpage is a free website builder designed specifically for authors. It includes everything you need: an ebook store that integrates with Stripe for direct sales, newsletter sign-ups connected to providers like Mailchimp and ConvertKit, a blog, book pages, an events calendar, and support for custom domains — all with zero platform fees or commissions.
The platform is built for speed and simplicity. Pick from five professionally designed templates, add your books by ISBN (or manually), fill in your bio, and publish in about 15 minutes. Your site will be fast, mobile-responsive, and SEO-optimized out of the box.
- Sell ebooks (PDF & EPUB) directly to readers at your own price
- Integrate with six newsletter providers via real API connections
- Import your entire book catalog by typing a single ISBN
- Use a custom domain with free SSL or a free zenpage.io subdomain
- Built-in SEO, auto-generated sitemaps, and social sharing previews
Zenpage was built by a reader who wanted to give authors a better, free alternative to expensive or complicated website builders. No credit card is required to start, and your site stays free forever.
