Viper Books

Viper was established in 2019 as the specialist crime and thriller imprint of Profile Books. Its mission is to publish Books with Bite: the best and brightest in the genre, celebrating new voices and unique approaches to murder and mystery.

After starting life as part of the Serpent’s Tail website, we created a new sister site for the Profile and Serpent’s Tail sites, using the same architecture.

Profile Editions

Profile Editions, the custom publishing business of Profile Books, which focuses on publishing custom arts, heritage and company histories, wanted to transition away from a Magento-based e-commerce store to a WordPress-based site. We recreated the site using WooCommerce, with title data imported from an ONIX feed – and incorporated a raft of subtle design changes during the project as well.

Profile Books

Twenty-five years sinces its founding and the mission of Profile Books is unchanged: to be a fearless publisher of a diverse range of distinctive books, of the highest quality, written by the best authors in their field, and to remain a beacon of independent publishing. We created a new website for Profile Books, powered by a feed from Biblio, to mark this milestone and to provide a solid foundation for all their future digital marketing.

A new website for imprint Serpent’s Tail was created as part of the same project.

“We had a great experience working with Bookswarm. Simon knows how publishing works and his vast experience meant that most challenges with our build had been encountered before and he was able to present flexible solutions. Responsive and agile as a team, we were pleasantly surprised by how stress free the builds were (we’ve built two sites with Bookswarm in the past year) and very pleased at how they’ve turned out.”

Serpent’s Tail

Serpent’s Tail is an imprint of Profile Books. They are passionate about finding and championing books that excite them creatively, by talented writers who don’t just break but smash the mould with work that opens up space for readers to think, and live, differently.

We designed their new website in tandem with the new website for Profile Books.
