Diane Nichols is an inspirational author and speaker who wanted a website that had a relaxing spiritual feel and this was the end product. Visit her website today to read about her rvieting book Testimonial - Diane Nichols, Author of the true story "Prison Of My Own" as seen on ABC 20/20: Not only was I needing a professional author's web site, but I was needing one within a week before the 20/20 segment on our story aired. Rika, you were my saving grace and a godsend. Your amazing intuition as to the emotion to capture in the design without ever meeting me was profound. The calmness, beauty and inspiration I feel when I look at my awesome design is exactly what I want my readers to feel. You also never gave up on me when I got so busy I'd forget to send you what you needed and you were able to pull off what I thought was impossible.....getting my breathtaking web site up and running in a matter of days. You are not only a gifted designer, but a compassionate, awesome person to work with. You are the best and I highly recommend you to anyone who needs a web site that reflects more than just the title of books and "About The Author." Your work captures the real heart and soul of an author's work and turns a web site into a masterpiece! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Rika. Blessings, Diane Nichols/Author & Inspirational Speaker

Testimonial - Tia Fanning, Erotic Romance Novelist. "Rika is absolutely wonderful! I love what she did for my website! Not only is she fast, dependable, and talented beyond words, but she's a pleasure to work with! This being my first website, I was a little overwhelmed by the whole process. I had a ton of questions and concerns, but Rika promptly answered every query with an informative and courteous reply. And no matter how many e-mails I sent, she never made me feel like I was bothering her. Rika will work hard to attain the look and feel you want. She really cares about customer satisfaction. She even offers useful suggestions that will help you make the most out of your website. Also, for such an amazing artist, the costs of her services are more than reasonable. Not only was I able to afford a website, but all the extras like banners, wallpapers, and screensavers too! Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without Rika. I can't rave about her enough! If you're an author looking to have a website made or revamped, Book A Design is the way to go. Thanks for everything, Rika! Sincerely, Tia Margaret Fanning."

Gloria Wiederhold writes books that see lovers through tremendous odds. Bookadesign does updates for Gloria. She sometimes does small changes herself.

Testimonial - Gloria Wiederhold, Romance Novelist writing Historical romance. "AMAZING! During my internet travels I came across the fantastic looking website of fellow romance author, Paula Quinn. I inquired about the designer and was informed with the greatest enthusiasm it was created by Rika Singh of Book A Design . She told me Rika was “amazing” and I was soon to find out for myself how true that statement was. I wanted a fresh new look for my website and encouraged her to surprise me. I was floored when I saw what she came up with. Going on very little information, she knew exactly what I was looking for. She is very professional and eager to get the job done right. It was a painless, one shot deal. Book A Design rates are very reasonable and they offer optional package deals that include design of a variety of promotional items, such as bookmarks and newsletter templates. They also have a partnership with ScrapFairy Designs where they specialize in dynamic book trailers, so you have the convenience of one stop shopping! If you're looking to have a website design or rebuilt, I would highly recommended the services of Rika Singh of Book A Design. She's simply amazing!"

Paula Quinn actively updates her website on a regular basis and BookaDesign updates bigger changes for her. Testimonial - Paula Quinn, Romance Novelist writing Historical romance."Rika has an innate feel for what an author, and her/his book are about, and the talent (and patience) to bring it all together like magic. The website and banners she designed for me are just that. Magic. I probably visit my website more than my readers do."
BookaDesign updates Marliss's website although she is keen to start learning to update small changes herself! Email - Marliss Melton, Romance Novelist writing Military romance."Rika, I’m in love with everything you’ve done! Thank you so much for a lovely, new, navigable, clear, and entertaining site. What a tremendous job!"
Samantha Sommersby loved our flash banners and wanted one on her website. She also mentioned that she wanted it to reflect her Myspace page that Scrapfairy Designs created for her so we came up with this! Samantha does her own changes to her website. Testimonial - Samantha Sommersby, Romance Novelist writing romance and other genres. "To say that I'm happy with the work that Rika and her company, Book A Design, did would be a huge understatement. I'm completely over the moon and utterly amazed. Rika grasped what I wanted right away and then ran with the project. Her design captured the look and feel that I wanted perfectly. My site went live an hour ago and I've already received two dozen emails from readers telling me how much they love it. The graphics are fantastic, the site is easy to navigate, and it's filled with interesting and relevant content. Thanks to Rika!"
Jan hosts and updates her own website at this point in time until she gets published. Cross your fingers for her! Testimonial - Jan Scarbrough, Romance Novelist writing romance about home, hearth and horses. " When a PR consultant told me I needed to update my web site, I asked a couple of designers for a bid.  Rika was the only one who answered my e-mail.  I'm so glad she did!  Rika was responsive to my ideas, eager to please and completed her redesign in a timely manner.  I explained to her my vision for my new web site and she was able to translate it into a design that represents me and my books.  I love the soft blue color of the site, symbolizing my "home and hearth" theme.  I love the graphics of  horses and the mysterious hero on horseback.  Yummy!  I'm also pleased about how my picture turned out and how Rika added the rest of my pictures to my bio page.  Rika had no problem when I told her I wanted to maintain my own site.  She worked with my techy husband to place the files in their proper location.  Now I can maintain my site and I know I can call on her any time I need another "tune-up." Thank you, Rika, for the wonderful "make over."
Email - Stephanie Rowe, Romance Novelist writing Paranormal romance."Wow! These are awesome! I wasn't sure I was going to be into the red, but these are fantastic. You're hired."
Email - Stephie Davis, Young Adult writing romance . "Oh my God! I'm totally blown away by what you did with this page. You are unbelievable. And I love your ideas for content, which I always seem to come up woefully empty on, so the more you can tell me what to do for you to put up there, that would be awesome."
