Xavier Schwindt Author Website

Also Built By Me

My Own Author Website.

I'm not just a web designer — I'm also a sci-fi and fantasy author deeply rooted in the indie publishing community. I built my own author platform at xavierschwindt.com, which means I understand the indie author world from the inside. Author websites, series pages, newsletter signups, Kickstarter landing pages — I've thought about all of it because I live it too.

Beyond local businesses, we specialize in websites and tools for indie authors. From author platforms to custom Kickstarter apps — we speak your language.

The Person Behind the Pixels

Hi, I'm Xavier.

I'm a one-person studio based in Northeastern Colorado. No team, no account managers, no someone-who-knows-someone. When you hire Hairy Feet Websites, you get me — directly — from the first message to the moment your site goes live.

I started building websites because I know what it's like to be the small guy trying to look professional on a tight budget. I'm also a sci-fi and fantasy author deeply embedded in the indie publishing world — which means I understand what it takes to build a brand, connect with an audience, and make every dollar count.

I don't build cookie-cutter templates. I build sites that actually represent your business — fast, fairly priced, and without making you feel like you need a computer science degree to talk to me.

Sci-Fi & Fantasy Author

Fast & Honest
I quote fairly, deliver quickly, and always tell you straight what I can and can't do.

"Not all those who wander are lost — but your customers definitely are if you don't have a website."

— Hairy Feet Websites, with apologies to Tolkien
