Look mom, we won an award!

We won a Muse Gold Award for redesigning Sabrina Jeffries' website—and yes, our moms are very proud.
First of all: yes, we immediately called our moms. And yes, they asked if this means we’re finally going to be on TV. (Not quite, Mom, but the trophy is wonderfully heavy and makes a very convincing doorstop.)
We are wildly excited to share that That One Couple took home a Muse Gold Award 2026 for our complete website redesign for New York Times Bestselling Author Sabrina Jeffries!
The Mission: Wrangling 60+ Romance Novels & Countless Rakes
Sabrina Jeffries is a legendary storyteller with more than 60 published Regency romance novels, multiple interconnected series, and a dedicated global fanbase. But her digital home was overdue for a grand makeover. Readers needed a seamless way to browse sprawling book timelines, find bonus scenes, download printable reading lists, and pick up books across major retailers without getting lost in 19th-century court intrigue.
Our mission: “A Modern Regency Romance Digital Transformation.” The goal was to pair classic historical elegance with sleek modern UX, rapid load speeds, and a flexible backend that Sabrina’s team could easily update whenever a new duke hits the shelves.
How We Built an Award-Winning Experience
Behind every polished design is a ton of thoughtful architecture. To make Sabrina’s site as functional as it is stunning, we focused on:
Dynamic Book Filtering: An intuitive system allowing readers to sort 60+ titles by series, publication order, tropes, and format.
Refined Regency Aesthetics: Bespoke typography, lush romantic palettes, and subtle paper-like textures that honor her genre while staying crisp and modern.
Frictionless CMS: A rock-solid structure built so the team can effortlessly publish upcoming releases, news, and appearances without writing a line of code.
At That One Couple, we don’t just drop off design files and vanish into thin air. We act as genuine extensions of our clients’ teams—tackling tricky design puzzles, obsessing over details, and crafting digital homes that turn casual visitors into raving fans.
A huge thank you to Sabrina Jeffries and her team for trusting us with this project. Winning gold is an incredible honor, but seeing our clients succeed is the real prize.
