Goddie – Web Develpment

Client Overview GoddieBook – https://goddiebook.com/ is the official online platform for the debut novel, Goddie, by Robert Picart. The site serves as a gateway for readers to explore the inspiring story of a young Jamaican girl who overcomes unimaginable challenges, including the loss of her parents, poverty, and the rediscovery of her courage and purpose. The client needed a website that not only promoted the novel but also engaged its audience through immersive storytelling and rich multimedia content.
