Caro Bégin saved my life. Well, that’s what it feels like. As a new author entering a saturated marketplace, getting all the pieces together to launch an indie publishing career—beyond writing the books—seems fairly simple on the surface but there is a huge amount of preparation and tech needed to get it right. And I wanted to get it right. Having come from a career in film where I was a director and showrunner for some of the biggest players on the planet, I was used to working with the best.
And Caro is that.
She’s an author as well as a developer and website designer, so she knows what a successful author needs when it comes to their website and all the functionality it needs. She has a great flair for design, nailed the tone and the look I needed as a dystopian thriller author, and created a web of complex yet seamless functionally that is packaged in a way so that I can update and customize my site without needing to be a tech-guru like she is. I am thrilled with the site and grateful for all the help she gave me for all the other platforms I needed to build, all of which was new to me. I would recommend Caro of GoCreate.me to anyone serious about their author career. And who knows, she might save your life too!
Working with Caro was a game-changer for me as an author. She helped me with every step of the way, guiding me on the best way to set up the website, listening to my ideas, and guiding me along the way to the best possible solution, while generously sharing a plethora of resources
I found Caro at GoCreateMe through a recommendation, and I am so glad I reached out to her to design and build me a new website. I’d outgrown my old website some time ago but the idea of starting from scratch was daunting enough that I put it off for far too long.
Caro made the entire process so easy, from our initial call where we talked through what I wanted to the exciting “Go Live” moment. She is clear in her instructions (especially for someone like me who is not technologically blessed), and she is incredibly responsive when I needed a little extra guidance. The videos she records to guide you through how to maintain and update your website are clear and easy to follow.
I am thrilled with my new website. Thank you, Caro!
Someone in an online writing group recommended Caro Begin as an excellent builder of author websites. Luckily, I was paying attention that day because after I hired Caro, she designed the perfect website for me. She listened carefully, asked questions, and came back with exactly what I had in mind. She is prompt, efficient, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, patient, and wonderful to work with. Highly recommend.
WOW, was I blown away! From the initial consultation call, Caro was approachable and knowledgeable. And in the end, what she created was a true masterpiece. A usable, tech-friendly and mobile-friendly website that completely encapsulates what my business is about. The videos she provided me with instructions for how to manage the site were super easy to follow. She goes above and beyond in her work, and I honestly can’t wait to work with her again. If you’re debating on getting your website done professionally, get Caro’s help! You won’t regret it.
Caro has created the most gorgeous website for me. Not only is it pretty, but it has so much functionality! She has been phenomenal to work with. She understood EXACTLY what I was looking for, and she gave it to me. And then she recorded concise and easy to understand videos so that I could maintain my website myself. She is a great find, and I am so glad I found her.
Caro Begin is wonderfully competent and professional. She’s in great demand, but her services are worth the wait.
GoCreate.me is an awesome service. High-level design, perfect attention to detail, and a very reasonable price considering what you get.
Caro Begin is a problem solver and a skilled coach. I chose GoCreate.me to give my website a makeover and have used their individual consultation packages. If there were a 1-5 star rating for GoCreate.me, I’d say 6.
Working with Caro has been an extraordinary experience. The speed and quality of author’s websites she builds are on another level. The entire brief was taken in one two-hour call, with one review of the draft website where only minor adjustments were made, and the website was done! And done beautifully. I cannot recommend working with Caro strongly enough.
Caro was what I needed to get myself a professional and beautiful-looking author website that I can change and add to. She was very responsive to my questions and a delight to work with. I totally recommend Caro for her skill, clarity, care over the details, and her expert advice whilst being respectful of individual preferences. No need to look further!
Caro has been incredibly helpful in developing a great website for me. She also has provided excellent feedback on how I can further build and maintain my website. She is very responsive, always returning emails promptly with specific instructions and video support. This was an excellent investment, one I would make again in the future without a second thought.
When I hired Caro Bégin, I hoped to have a timely, responsive, and professional experience. I got all that and more. Caro brought her creativity and design flare to my site’s aesthetic customization, which I love. As for the back end, my website has never run smoother, nor been safer. She even recorded personalized videos to educate me on its upkeep. In short, I would recommend her services without reservation.
I was going to buy Elementor and try to update my tired site in WordPress myself, but then I found GoCreate and I’m so glad I did. Caro did a great job implementing my requests and saved me a ton of time. Even better, she gave me complete instruction to go along with the new site so I now know how to make any changes I’d like and keep it fresh looking in the future. Thanks, Caro!
Caro took the time to find out what my goals were for my website as well as what I wanted it to look like. The site she designed is perfect for me in every way! I feel so empowered and I’m not scared of adding to it as I write new books or add more content. As a fellow author, Caro really understands what authors need in a website and all of her suggestions were spot on. I’m so glad I made the decision to use her services. Well worth the money. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I am thrilled with my new author website created by Caro Begin. It is exactly what I wanted and it has exceeded my expectations. Caro has both amazing technical skills and innovative design skills. You can tell she genuinely enjoys creating a website that suits your personality and author profile. Caro’s support during the process and after has been outstanding. I have had a couple of little glitches and she has helped me immediately. I feel completely supported. I can’t recommend Caro enough! And the price was extremely reasonable.
I receive so many compliments on my site. Everyone loves it as do I. I keep recommending GoCreate.me anytime anyone asks about author websites.
