Q&A Should an author have one website or two?

I have four. I now profoundly wish I only had one.

The idea of a "site" is now becoming moribund anyway. The essence of a "site" is a home page, but the importance of the home page is diminishing every year simply because, across the board, home pages get less and less traffic each year. People navigate the web using search and by following links in social media. No one types a URL into a browser anymore. Thus people go straight to the page of interest, not to the "site". Having multiple sites, therefore, is just a maintenance headache and expense that is unlikely to do you any good.
