Deleyna’s List
Deleyna’s List
Ever wish you had someone you could reach out to with a quick website question? Someone watching out for you, on your side, without pushing a product?
I believe authors should be able to maintain and control their own websites. But over the years, many clients have told me that while they could handle updates, they’d rather have me doing it, or at least backing them up. One described it as “an insurance policy for your website.” That’s how Deleyna’s List was born.
How It Works
Everything runs through my Substack publication, Deleyna’s Drift:
- Free subscribers get whatever I’m posting: fiction, musings, and resources.
- Paid subscribers get access to all Substack content plus invitations to monthly AMA meetings.
- Deleyna’s List members get everything above, plus one-on-one meetings with me. If you have a WordPress site, I’ll also add you to my routine maintenance schedule, handling updates and keeping an eye on things.
One-on-One Meetings
You’ll be able to book time with me through my online scheduler. We’ll tackle whatever’s on your mind:
- Website tweaks, theme changes, or content reviews
- Personalized writing or marketing strategy sessions
- Indie publishing coaching, both technical and creative
Some clients treat it like a monthly private class. Others see it as a safety net for when they’re stuck.
Note: I’m picky about who I work with. I take my work seriously, and I only collaborate with professionals who do the same. I reserve the right to refuse service. But if you’re on my list, you’re covered.
Support & Training
My business, Deleyna’s Dynamic Designs, focuses on helping writers take control of their web presence.
- Website Creation: I no longer design full sites, but I teach classes and can point you to platforms where you can build a site without hiring an expensive developer.
- Author Training: I offer classes on website design, internet marketing, indie publishing, and social media. I also teach custom workshops for groups. Reach out if you’d like me to visit your organization.
- Ongoing Support: Busy authors often don’t have time for updates. Deleyna’s List provides monthly check-ins, accountability, and hands-on help when needed.
Many have compared it to an insurance policy for their site. Peace of mind, plus a partner invested in their success.
A Bit of History
I’ve been helping people online for decades:
- 1980s: A paid programmer, watching the internet’s birth with both technical insight and a writer’s heart.
- 1997: Started a business creating marketing materials for independent sales professionals, supporting my own writing along the way.
- 2008: Shifted focus to helping authors, launching Deleyna’s Dynamic Designs.
The name “Dynamic Designs” reflects my philosophy: websites should evolve with the ever-changing online landscape. They need to work seamlessly across everything from tiny phones to big-screen TVs.

Skills and perspectives that make popular “gurus” look stupid
Lisa is the professional of professionals. If you don’t hire her, well…you’re an idiot.
Look, I’ve been making a living as an Indie author & cartoonist since 2004, but those precious 3% adjustments that change entire careers eluded me. That’s why I sought Lisa’s counsel. Her perspectives, knowledge & skill sets are rock solid. When it comes to the process, the industry, and knowledge of the publishing landscape, Lisa provides me with an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. With the growing issues with Amazon and Google, and [fill in the mega platform here], an unfair advantage is something I desperately needed.
FREE TIP: Let me ease your pain and suffering by sharing THE #1 SECRET to achieving success with Lisa:
LISTEN to her!!
Once I put my ego in my back pocket, my traffic grew, my subscribers increased, my fans started interacting more…and I smiled so hard, my cheeks hurt. Yeah, I know this is a long process for most of us, but when the publishing world is going bat-crap crazy, you’re going to need her evergreen knowledge as your foundation. Her prices to value ratio also makes every service and class a steal.
My only complaint is that the rating-thingy above only goes up to 5 Stars.
That’s stupid.
Lisa deserves 12 Stars
In awe
Over the years, I wrestled with my website and never got it to look or perform well. So, I chugged along with an ugly, clunky thing of a website that never made much of a splash in Google rankings or anywhere else. But at least it was there, right? (I’d say to myself). Then I met Deleyna. Six weeks later, I’m proud to say I’m super satisfied with my website. In fact, I love it! First time I’ve ever said that. My bright and shiny new website is solid and robust and pretty and I can barely believe it. Best of all, I got to know Deleyna. She’s patient and clear and so knowledgeable. She communicates without barriers. A true gem of a teacher and person! I couldn’t have achieved building my new website without her.
Five Stars, what else?
Thank you, Deleyna, for being the website partner I need. Your care and feeding of e-impaired authors is a godsend. You make it all possible!
Knowledgeable, Targeted, and Personalized Support
Lisa helped me create a website from nothing. I brought no knowledge to the table, but plenty of dread. Working with technology is scary business for me, but Lisa’s knowledge, support, and encouragement made it happen. I’m still in the beginning stages of exploring the possibilities of my website but am thrilled to have one after hoping to have one for years. She’s a patient and knowledgeable instructor who will listen to what you want and help you design it. Her instruction is targeted and personalized to your needs. I’d encourage anyone who wants a quality website to work with her.
Empowers You To Be Your Best
I’ve had many website experts/helpers over my freelancing career. None have engaged with me and supported me the way Lisa has. Whereas others did website essentials *for me*, Lisa empowers me to do for myself and understand the why behind each decision to ensure my business runs at peak optimization. Her knowledge knows no bounds. She’s like the Great and Powerful Oz behind the scenes, but with a stellar client rapport and a huge heart. I send absolutely everyone who needs a website to her, regardless of their industry. Everyone needs a Lisa on their team!
