Do you intend to create a website for your writing that is separate and different in content and appearance to your blog? Many writers combine the two.
Well-established authors have slickly designed websites, with the work done for them. I like sites that have variety, and where the author isn't afraid of revealing things about their life and influences.
Three thriller writers, who I admire, have professional-looking websites that are entertaining to browse and give one a sense of the person behind the writing. It's easy to see the branding that's been done to make their books recognisable.
