Or has someone willing to collaborate on it -- writers, as you know, are good with the words and we can visualize and communicate what we're thinking, but we're not always good at the execution. (I can name a slew of writerly webpages that are proof of that.)
I do think more book-based sites would be good, instead of just "here's the cover!" and "here's the first chapter!" but other things, like maps and pronunciation guides and more artwork and deleted scenes or something.
