Benefits of the Breakdance Page Builder for Authors

There is a bewildering array of page builders for wordpress out there all claiming to be be the best so why did I choose Breakdance over all the rest?

In this lesson I’ll share why I choose Breakance as the page builder as the best solution for building an author website.

Time, it’s always down to time. Ask an author group what the best option is to build a website and you’ll get 10 different answers with none of them leaving you any the wiser. 

Think it – Build it

Breakdance is a highly visual builder. After taking a few minutes to understand its layout and tools you’ll quickly be able to take what’s in your head and make it happen on the screen. This course will speed up the learning process on how to get the most out of Breakdance as an author but that task is made a lot easier by how user friendly the tool already is.

Global Styling

As you’ll see in the upcoming lessons with Breakdance we can set all our branding, colours, fonts, layout, pretty much everything in one place and it will cascade across the entire site. Anytime you want to update the core look and feel of your author website you can do all that from one place saving you days or weeks of admin time.

Premium elements for faster builds

In this course I’m going to show you how to build an author website from scratch but you don’t have to. Breakdance comes with an abundance of pre-made site templates and design elements to install with the click of a button. You can use as many or as little as these as you like in your website.

Built in Forms

One of the recurring comments I’ll make about Breakdance is about included features and one of those features are built in forms. Breakdance has its own powerful built in form builder that will connect with pretty much anything. This is fantastic for making your own contact forms, surveys or connecting to email marketing services for a super smooth sign up experience for your subscribers.

Popup Builders

Most people, me included, say they hate pop ups in websites. What I mean when I say that is I HATE badly thought out popups poorly deployed on websites without any thought. The Built in intelligent popup builder in Breakdance turns these annoyances into a positive experience for your visitor and an increase in conversions on an author website. Breakdance can trigger our custom made pop-ups from button clicks, visits to specific pages, number of visits to the website, scroll depth and so much more.

Dynamic Data

As your author career grows so will your back catalogue of novels, short stories and posts. With Breakdance, WordPress and the ACPT plugin we only have to add our content once and it will distribute it correctly throughout the site. Books will appear on the correct series pages with the correct links to your distributor of choice and alongside related items without you having to manually update everywhere.

Maybe you have different books available with different distributors? No problem, Breakdance will only show buttons to active retailers or if you are selling direct you can give readers instant access to securely read your content on your website immediately as well as delivering your ebooks or audiobooks.

Superlight – Superfast

Breakdance is up to 20x times lighter than other page builders. This tiny footprint makes for lightning fast website loading times that keep both search engines and visitors happy.

Summary

Breakdance is the most user friendly page builder on the market that comes with an abundance of added value features including pre-made templates, design elements, a powerful form builder, and pop up builder.

It is the perfect choice for self-publishing authors whether they are exclusive with Amazon, sell wide with other retailers, or sell direct to readers or a combination of all three.

Throughout this course I’ll be using Breakdance Pro which starts from $99 for a single site licence. That includes ALL Breakdance features, excluding the AI Assistant, to build professional level author websites. Click here to find out more about Breakdance Page Builder.
