02 / AUTHORS & PUBLISHERS

Your name on the cover.
Care behind the scenes.

An author website should make the books easy to find, the reading order easy to follow, and the next step obvious.

We offer managed websites and reader communications for independent authors and small publishing organisations. Launch a new author presence or bring an existing site into a maintainable service.

Discuss an author website

A considered reader journey

Book and series pages, approved cover artwork, accessible sample chapters and clear links to your chosen retailers.

Updates without the technical burden

Release news, content maintenance and optional reader-list infrastructure. Email services require agreed consent, removal and data-handling arrangements.

Your author brand, respected

Your books and approved artwork remain yours. Public pages can use your pen name; private contracting details stay separate. We agree permissions, content approval and handover before work starts.

03 / OUR SOFTWARE

Engineering beyond
the brochure.

We develop our own tools alongside managed services. Each product has its own scope, access arrangements and terms.

MOIRAI / AI DEVELOPMENT

Purpose-trained models.
Measured, not mythologised.

Our Moirai programme explores narrative, editorial and conversational AI. Clotho is the first model; Lakhesis and Atropos remain in development. Access, evaluation results and limitations belong with the model documentation, not a blanket quality promise.

04 / HOW WE WORK

Clarity before code.
Care after launch.

A named company to deal with, a written plan to work from and clear approval points. You know what is being delivered and what happens after launch.

  1. 01

    Understand the job

    We review your site, systems and priorities. Existing access, dependencies and known issues come first.

  2. 02

    Agree the boundaries

    A written scope sets deliverables, costs, responsibilities, data handling and the maintenance or handover plan.

  3. 03

    Build, test, release

    Changes are reviewed in a test environment before release. Content approval and technical checks have separate gates.

  4. 04

    Operate and improve

    The agreed service plan covers updates, support and recovery arrangements. Ownership and exit terms stay explicit.

Project work A defined build, integration or migration.

Ongoing care Maintenance and support under an agreed plan.

Technical partnerships Scoped licensing, integration or white-label discussions.

What does Pure Light do?

Pure Light Ltd is a software engineering company registered in England and Wales. We build web applications and integrations, maintain websites, and offer managed author websites and reader communications. We also develop our own software products.

What can you manage for an author?

An engagement can cover an author website, book and series pages, sample chapters, release updates, reader-list infrastructure and ongoing maintenance. The author approves their public content and retains their rights. We do not act as a literary agent or promise book sales.

Can you work with a pen name?

Yes. Public-facing pages can use an author brand or pen name. Contracting, billing and any required identity checks are handled privately. Required company and data-protection disclosures still apply. We cannot guarantee anonymity or remove public records.

Who is responsible for reader data?

For a Pure Light-operated reader service, Pure Light Ltd is the controller: we manage subscription rules, sending, providers, retention and reader rights. Authors supply approved content. If a client instead controls their own list and we provide technical support, the contract records that different arrangement. The service privacy notice identifies the controller.

Can you help with SEO and marketing?

Yes. We offer technical SEO foundations, metadata, structured data, clear landing-page copy, content planning and approved launch assets. We agree the audience, deliverables and next steps in writing. Advertising spend is separate and needs approval; search rankings and sales are not guaranteed.

Do you offer fixed packages or monthly support?

We quote after a short scope review. A proposal sets out the one-off build or migration work, recurring maintenance, third-party charges, responsibilities and exit arrangements. No subscription starts simply because you enquire. Response times and service levels are agreed in writing.

Can you take over an existing website?

Yes, subject to a technical review and access to the relevant accounts and content. We establish ownership, deployment, backups and known issues before agreeing the migration. Existing mailing lists need a separate consent and data-handling review; they are not imported automatically.

What do your software products do?

Cleo SEO provides technical SEO tooling. AuditShield supports website and AI-compliance assessment workflows. PARLEY explores policy controls for AI requests. Moirai is our AI development programme. Individual product scope, access and terms are separate from managed-service engagements.

Does your software certify legal compliance or guarantee security?

No. Automated checks and policy controls support human decisions within their tested scope. They do not constitute legal advice, regulatory approval, a security certification or a guarantee against incidents. Specialist advice and deployment-specific testing may be required.
