Project Overview
Henri T. De Souza is an author and publisher whose imaginative works span rich fantasy adventures infused with deep themes of faith, courage, and redemption—including the Diamond Arrow series, Chronicles of Oerpia, Rikendell: Fall and Rise, and Eternal Bodies: Rise of the Morning Star. To unify his literary catalogue under his publishing imprint, Daniel Twelve Press, Henri required an elegant, boutique digital portal.
Working directly with Henri, I designed and developed htdesouza.com to serve as a welcoming, immersive home for his readers. By pairing thoughtful promotional copywriting with custom-rendered 3D book showcases and refined visual touches, the website reflects Henri’s globe-trotting spirit, publishing insights, and literary vision.
Collaboration
I worked closely with Henri from concept to launch, taking the time to understand his creative vision. Through direct, punctual communication, we established a seamless partnership that translated his literary themes into an authentic digital platform.
Content Creation
I authored the promotional site copy to mirror Henri's storytelling voice, edited and retouched his professional author portrait, and crafted custom 3D book cluster graphics to give his print and digital titles tactile visual presence.
Boutique Design
Blending narrative elegance with a mobile-first layout, I built a clean interface with rich author journey highlights, detailed book showcases, publishing insights for Daniel Twelve Press, and clear paths to connect with readers.

3D Book Renders & Author Portraiture
A central challenge when presenting digital literature is making flat cover art feel tangible and prestigious on screen. To solve this, I generated custom 3D book cluster graphics that give his series—such as the Diamond Arrow saga—a multi-dimensional, high-end feel. Additionally, I edited and retouched Henri’s author portrait to align with the site’s warm, professional aesthetic.
Narrative-Driven Copy & Platform Architecture
Writing for an author requires a high degree of textual precision. I developed tailored promotional copy across the site to guide visitors through:
Rich Author Biography: Chronicling Henri’s background, influences, and globe-trotting journey.
Curated Book Showcases: Compelling, benefit-driven summaries that highlight themes of courage and redemption.
Publisher Insights: Dedicated spaces for Daniel Twelve Press, positioning Henri both as a writer and an independent publisher.
Reader Engagement: Streamlined pathways for fans to connect, subscribe, and follow upcoming book releases.
Client Perspective
"I had a wonderful experience working with Jeff Poissant, the owner of Evolving Media, on my website. He was punctual, reliable, and professional from start to finish, and he truly took the time to understand what I needed. His attention to detail, patience, and commitment to doing an excellent job stood out to me. I’m very pleased with the final result and would gladly recommend his services to anyone who is seeking a professional and trustworthy website designer."
