For independent bookstores
An indie bookstore site that doesn't look like Amazon.
Generate a bookstore site with staff picks, events calendar, mailing list CTA, and a 'we'll find anything' contact block. The opposite of every chain bookstore site.

We get it.
Specific frustrations we hear from independent bookstores:
- •Your Instagram is full of staff picks, but Google indexes none of them.
- •Events get word-of-mouth attendance because your event calendar isn't on the site.
- •Customers can't tell if you have a book in stock without calling.
Built for independent bookstores.
Generic site builders treat every industry the same. We don't.
Staff picks, with a voice
Each pick gets a paragraph from the bookseller. The opposite of algorithmic recommendations.
Events calendar, not Eventbrite
Reading group, author signing, kids' hour — generated as a section, not a hosted page elsewhere.
Newsletter capture above the fold
Most indie bookstores sell more through their email list than walk-in browsing. We put the CTA where it converts.
Mobile-first for in-store search
Customers in your store googling on their phone is half your inbound search traffic. Site is fast and tap-friendly.

Generated for Leaf & Spine
A small bookshop with strong opinions. — every section editable, custom domain in two clicks.
FAQ
Questions independent bookstores ask.
Can I link out to bookshop.org affiliate?
Yes — each staff pick can have a 'buy here' link pointing at bookshop.org, Indiebound, your own e-commerce, or a Square POS. Whatever fits.
Do you handle online ordering?
Today: link out to your existing tool (Square Online, IngramSpark Direct, Bookshop). Future: native Stripe Connect for direct sales on Max.
Can I add a blog or staff-pick archive?
Editor supports long-form sections. For a real blog with archive pages, that's on the roadmap — for now most stores use a Substack subdomain linked from the site.
What about events RSVP?
Generated CTAs accept any URL — Eventbrite, Lu.ma, Tito, plain email. We don't lock you into one provider.
