Hello Mr. McEwan.
Publishers today expect writers, especially those of the Nappy-class like myself, to include in a book proposal a committment to run a promotional website. You, of course, have graduated to paying professionals to run it for you. Writing, marketing and (other) promotional measures are time consuming enough--but to run a website as well? It seems impossible. Accordingly, I'm asking the same questions of every writer I can find who has managed it. How did you do it, at first, and how much time did it suck from your week? (Or did all this, in fact, come after you'd "made it"?)
