T. L. McBeth is a children's book author & illustrator published with Penguin Random House and Macmillan. After a few years as a professional illustrator, he was in need of a basic brand and website that reflected the playful & minimal nature of his illustrations.

For T. L.'s website, we chose Squarespace to keep the site easy to update and simple to build. I built the site entirely in Squarespace, with a few custom elements such as the ability to add an animated GIF header for a featured book.
The site functions as an effective hub for T.L.’s portfolio of books and other media, allowing him to connect with potential customers and publishers alike.
