Donkey Books Welcomes You to Our Renewed Website!
At Donkey Books, we are continuously working to tell unique stories that change perspectives. As our work resonates more and more with a growing readership, a place in public libraries, and recognition from cultural institutions, we felt it was time to evolve our online home as well.
We are proud to welcome you to our renewed website, which we have designed to enrich your experience.
The Goals Behind Our Renewals
The website has become an elegant and powerful platform, with you, our loyal visitors, in mind. We have kept three important goals in sight:
- Product Discovery is Easier: With intuitive navigation, all our books are now even easier to find.
- Fostering Community and Engagement: We encourage you to become part of the Donkey Books community. You can easily follow us on social media. Want to get more deeply involved? Then subscribe to our newsletter for exclusive content and direct communication
- Deepening Knowledge and Connection through Content: Through our blog, Insights & Reflections, we offer a wealth of valuable and inspiring information. This content gives you a peek behind the scenes and allows you to delve deeper into our stories.
What Has Changed and Why It Matters
We have implemented several key changes to prepare our website for the next phase of our story. These changes are aimed at improving and enriching your experience:
- Renewed Homepage: The new ‘sub-hero’ section is designed to immediately draw you into the essence of Donkey Books. The experience of this section conveys our core message: “Exclusive Stories, Uniquely Told. The space where compelling narratives reshape perspectives.”
- Clearly Structured Navigation (desktop only): Four prominent navigation buttons serve as a guide: Stable of Books, Enhanced Exploration, Connect with Us, and Our Story. This structure makes it easier to find what you’re looking for and to get lost in the world of Donkey Books.
- The ‘Deep Dive’ Page: This page is the central hub for all our in-depth content. It is the ideal starting point for your further exploration. Here you will also find our blog Insights & Reflections and the exclusive Knowledge Hub for members. A new whitepaper on the art and science of cover design has also recently been added to the Knowledge Hub.
Crafting Your Next Great Adventure
Introducing the Story Atlas: We are proud to introduce a new feature: the Story Atlas! Step into the footsteps of our characters and explore the authentic locations from our novels on an interactive map. Click on the markers for fascinating background information, links to our blogs, and the books themselves. This way, you can see exactly where the story began.
And there is more
- Visually Appealing Blogs: All our blogs are equipped with a featured image. This ensures that our stories are not only strong in content but also visually appealing. It makes the whole experience complete and invites you to read.
- Well-Organized Blog Archive: Our blog archive page, where you can reread all our blogs, has also been redesigned with a clear grid. Thanks to the search function and filtering by categories, you can now find your favorite blog even faster.
- Stronger Brand Identity: In addition to the weekly ‘Phrase Friday’ quotes from our books, we have also placed new Donkey Books quotes on strategic locations on the website to strengthen our brand and bring you into our philosophy.
- Prominent Event Functionality: A dynamic section for ‘upcoming events’ is displayed on strategic pages of the website when we want to announce them. This way, you will always be up to date on our activities.
We hope you are as excited about the renewals as we are. We’re curious to know what you think!
