Website Design
Dr Chris Norris needed a dedicated online home for his debut novel, Fractured Healer. I built a brand new site from the ground up to showcase the book, share upcoming events, and introduce readers to Chris as an author.
About Author Chris Norris
Dr Christopher Norris is a Chartered Physiotherapist (MCSP) with over 40 years of clinical experience. He’s authored fourteen books on physiotherapy and exercise, lectures extensively to medical professionals, and holds a postgraduate certificate in medical education. Fractured Healer is his first step into fiction, a story exploring trauma, redemption, and the resilience of the human spirit.
The challenge
Chris had an established reputation in the world of physiotherapy and exercise science, but this was something completely different. He was launching a novel and needed a website that positioned him as an author, not just a clinician.
The site had to feel literary and inviting, give Fractured Healer the spotlight it deserved, and still reflect Chris’s credibility and background. It also needed to promote book signings, events, and link through to retailers like Amazon and Waterstones.
Services Used:
Purpose built
I designed and developed chrisnorrisauthor.co.uk as a fully custom site, separate from Chris’s existing professional presence. The goal was to create something that felt personal, polished, and purpose-built for promoting a novel.
