PORTFOLIO

Stuart did a great job for me. I was very happy with his design and we were able to work through my lack of knowledge on the process. I'm very happy with my end product, Stuart was very responsive, and I would use him again for sure!

Stu did a fantastic job developing my website, and ensuring I was ready to run with it once the collaboration was complete. He was creative, responsive, professional and patient, and the process was not only smooth, but inspiring! I highly recommend his services

Stuart took my website from a collection of ideas to a polished, professional author platform. From the beginning, he asked thoughtful questions that helped clarify my goals and translate them into a website that truly reflects my work, my books, and my brand. One of the things I appreciated most was how he incorporated my original book cover artwork and visual elements throughout the site, creating a seamless and consistent brand across every page. The finished website feels cohesive, intentional, and professional. Stuart was responsive throughout the project, welcomed feedback, and worked collaboratively through revisions until everything felt right. One feature I especially appreciated was the personalized walkthrough video he created, explaining the website's design and features. It gave me the confidence to update and manage the site myself going forward. He also offered valuable guidance on how Google search and AI search engines evaluate websites, helping me think beyond design to how readers will actually find my books online. That strategic advice was an unexpected bonus and added real value to the project. I'm proud to direct readers, reviewers, and industry professionals to my website. It presents my work with the level of professionalism I was hoping to achieve, and I would enthusiastically recommend Stuart to any author looking for a talented, collaborative web designer.

Stuart, like me, enjoys a challenge. As a multi-genre author with several pen names, I had different readerships scattered across separate WordPress sites, each demanding more time and attention. Stuart’s task was to bring it all together into one coherent Wix presence. With Wyrmwood Books, he did exactly that: two genres, 30 books, and three series under one roof, all manageable from a single login. He understands what authors need and can deliver quickly and without gobbledygook.

Stuart was awesome to work with from start to finish. He was professional throughout the entire project and consistently responded to my questions promptly. He completed the website ahead of schedule, which I really appreciated, and provided clear, concise training that gave me the confidence to manage the site myself. I especially appreciated that he recorded our training session so I could review it later whenever I needed a refresher. As a first-time author, I also valued his practical advice and guidance throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stuart to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional website designer. Thank you Stuart

Stuart was a pleasure to work with on my project. He built me a wonderful eye-catching website. He explained all the pieces clearly and was very responsive to my questions. Side note, love the British accent. I would highly recommend Stuart on your project. Thank you Stuart.

Stu has provided as excellent service with building me an author website. All at a very fair price and on time. The website is much better than I expected and uses all the latest technology - I am very impressed and thoroughly recommend him. His training is also very comprehensive and he throws in bonuses. I plan to work with Stu om other endeavors later.

Working with Stu and Digital Author Toolkit was exactly the right investment for myself and my author career. Stu created a website that makes my work feel polished, professional, and truly aligned with where I’m headed. What I appreciated most was that he didn’t just build the site and hand it over—he sat with me, taught me how to use it, and made sure I felt confident maintaining and updating it myself. I’m so pleased with the final result and so grateful for the care and support throughout the process.

Stuart came up with the perfect website for me, taking my vague ideas and producing a beautiful site that is just right for my Regency low heat romances. He responded quickly and made the minor adjustments needed but really there was little I wanted to change. The training was comprehensive and thorough. Stu has left me with not only the tools needed to make best use of my website but further advice on integrating it with all the other ways of promoting my books and keeping in touch with readers. I enjoyed the whole exciting process and am grateful for Stuart's confident professionalism.

I came with my book covers, my author logo, and my heart on my sleeve, but no real idea of what my author website should look like.  Stuart worked with me to create a beautiful website integrating all of my initial images. When I wanted to swap some of his images with images more true to my series, he was very agreeable with information and advice about what type of images I needed.  I appreciate, very much, how he's gotten me off to a great start with my new website!

Great overall experience, and the website looks fantastic. Highly recommended!

Working with Stu was a great experience. The first website concept was a little different from what I had initially envisioned, but what stood out was how receptive Stu was to feedback. He listened carefully to my suggestions, understood the direction I wanted to take, and the second iteration captured exactly what I had been hoping for. As a debut author, I was probably more particular than most when it came to the look, feel, and branding of my website. Stu was patient throughout the process and accommodated my requests wherever reasonably possible. He was professional, responsive, and collaborative, making what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and enjoyable. I particularly appreciated his willingness to refine details rather than simply sticking to the original design. It was clear that he genuinely wanted the final product to reflect my vision, not just his own. The end result is a website that feels polished, professional, and authentically represents both my work as a forensic psychiatrist and my writing as a psychological thriller author. I would happily recommend Stu to other authors looking for a web designer who is talented, easy to work with, and genuinely open to collaboration. His flexibility, communication, and commitment to client satisfaction made all the difference.

Fantastic to work with. I really appreciated the tutorial. The website vision came along so well thanks to Stu.

I had a fantastic experience working with Stu and the Digital Authors Toolkit. He took the time to explain all the ins and outs of the website, from personalization to SEO, and was always available for my questions. In addition to getting an excellent, professional website out of the collaboration, I also learned a lot from the process in a short period of time so that I can take control of the site going forward. Highest recommendation!

I am very satisfied with the finished product, and Stuart brought many novel elements and designs to bear on my site. He is also well versed on more than just design, including things like discoverability, SEO/GEO, geolocated purchase links, etc. On our hand-off call where Stuart provided all the instructions needed so that I could "drive" going forward, the depth of his knowledge (and his ability to relay it) was quite apparent and impressive.

I highly recommend Stu and Digital Authors Toolkit if you’re looking for the very best in website design. From clear, easy-to-use organization to SEO optimization to eye-popping visuals, Stu does it all. He created an incredible video showing the silver sparrow in my fantasy book lifting up off the cover and flying toward the viewer. It’s so cool I couldn’t stop watching it. Stu delivered ahead of time, and went above and beyond to make sure I had all I needed to launch my site successfully.

Stuart produced an excellent website to support my first novel. I am usually terrified of technology but he demystified the whole process and clearly mapped out each stage for me. Stuart provided comprehensive guidance on what he required from me up front, which I found extremely helpful. I was delighted with the results and the handover process, especially the online training session. I would definitely recommend Stuart's services.

Stu has created a website unlike anything I imagined, bringing my books to life in an eye-catching manner that I love. I was able to set up an initial meeting easily and quickly, and the process was streamlined and stress-free. Not only that, he also offered lots of advice and practical suggestions that helped me, a debut author who is not very techie minded, get started; an unexpected but much-needed bonus - thank you!

It was a real pleasure working with Stu. The whole process, from start to finish, was made simple by his deft communication skills, particularly his ability to explain complex technical information about site maintenance. The site itself was far better than I imagined it to be. He did everything I asked of him and more. Money well spent!

I am thrilled with the beautiful, effective, and professional author website Stuart Grant created for me. The design aligns with my brand perfectly, feels engaging, welcoming, and easy to use. Stuart even delivered the site earlier than expected, which was such a bonus. I am excited to grow my audience and direct sales with this first-class website. Huge thanks to Stuart for his incredible work!

Working with Stuart Grant was a real pleasure. He’s friendly, patient and genuinely understands what authors need from a website. No question ever felt silly and he was always happy to tweak things or solve problems, all with good humour and zero fuss. He explains the technical side in plain English and makes the whole process feel easy. The end result exceeded my expectations and truly reflects my work. Highly recommended for creatives and writers. - Jay Raven

I decided the time had come to update my author site on Wix, and thoroughly weeded through Reedsy's experts to find a perfect match for my criteria. The fact that Stu is the highest rated web designer caught my attention and I sent him a proposal to learn his approach. He sent me a video of his portfolio and it was so impressive I quickly made him an offer. He took a systematic approach to my site, including a video telling me exactly what already worked and what required improvement, and was very open to my feedback and requests. More than anything, I thought the graphics he added to my covers (which I didn't anticipate) made my site pop as I wouldn't have expected. I plan on contacting Stu for any future projects on this front and highly recommend him to anyone interested in building or updating their Wix sites.

Stuart completed the project in half the expected time, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. The website he built far exceeded my expectations — both in quality and execution!

Working with Stuart has been a first-class experience from start to finish. He built and delivered my author website, and the result exceeded every expectation. From the first discussion, Stuart understood exactly what I needed: a site that didn’t just look good, but truly represented me as an author. The design concept was spot on: professional, distinctive, and perfectly matched to my genre and audience. He asked the right questions, offered creative solutions, and always explained the technical side in simple, clear terms. Delivery was smooth, on time, and on budget. Every detail was thought through, from layout to navigation to how readers engage with my work. Stuart also built in flexibility for future updates, which gives me confidence that the site can grow with my future novels. For any author or creative professional looking for a website that reflects their voice and helps them stand out, I’d strongly recommend Stuart. He doesn’t just design websites; he builds an online presence that feels authentic and professional.

My author's website was in need of a facelift and Stuart's fantastic design met all of my expectations, and more. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with Stuart.

Stuart understands web design and did a great job in giving me the tools and resources to make a great website. He is knowlegeable and professional. I appreciate his ability to listen and adapt to my needs. Stuart is responsive and willing to do what it takes to get the job done right.

Worth every penny! I’m incredibly happy with my website, Stuart’s design, and guidance. Stuart was prompt, responsive, and patient, as I am a novice regarding all things website-related. Highly recommend!!

My experience working with Stuart on an author website was smooth and seamless. This was my first site of this magnitude, and Stu was there for me everything step of the way; I never felt ghosted or alone during this process. His website quality is top notch, and he finished the site far before the deadline. He even gave me a website tutorial and taught me how to edit my own website. If you need an author website done on time, for a great price, and with quality, Stu is your guy! Shoot him a message today! MD

It was a real pleasure working with Stu and the team. They produced a beautiful website, and Stu provided a lot of helpful advice for maintaining it. This level of support has been invaluable for me as a debut novelist.

Stuart was great! My web site came in on time and exactly as I had hoped for when we started. Stuart was patient with me as this was the first time creating an author web site. The colors, graphics, and tone all matched my cover and image which as really important. He was also very kind to coordinate with the other professionals working on the projet. I can not say enough positive feedback about the work and service.

Stu was a consummate professional throughout the process. I had to deal with some delays in finalizing my book cover, but Stu was patient and worked with me until we got everything we needed to do the job right. The website design looks fantastic, and Stu was thorough in training me on how to use the website and maximize its functionality. I highly recommend working with Stu!

It was great working with Stuart and being able to draw on his wealth of experience. He was very patient with my queries, even when I got fixated on the details.

Stuart is a joy to work with. His professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding. Since I am not technologically savvy, I relied on him to bring my vision for a website to fruition. I'll definitely recommend him to others. Hiring him is well worth the money, and I'm completely satisfied with his service. He will walk you through the entire process. If you hire him, you'll receive outstanding customer service.

To me, the prospect of designing a website was far too daunting so I decided to have it done properly. Stu was very easy to work with and he designed me a smart, atmospheric author website which met the brief in every way. The changes I had to suggest on first seeing it were minimal. I am very happy, both with the site and the training and guidance he has provided and the costs were very reasonable. I would certainly recommend him to anyone contemplating establishing an author website.

Stu did an outstanding job on my new website, transforming ideas into a wonderful platform. The design is not only attractive but also user-friendly; according to visitor testing, I was told the site allowed them to easily navigate it without distracting visuals or overloaded video content. Additionally, the instructional video from our 1.5-hour session has been invaluable. It breaks down the various procedures related to my site, enabling me to review each step at my own pace. This hands-on guidance makes it much easier for me to understand how to manage and update my website effectively. Overall, I'm thrilled with the results and the support I received throughout the process! Thanks, Stu!

Stu and his team went above and beyond to not only provide me an amazing website, but also comprehensive tools on how to use it. This is the team to work with!

I'm very happy with my new website and appreciate the hard work of Stuart and his assistant. They were very responsive to my wishes on site details - color, design etc. I asked for a couple of extra pages that weren't part of the original bid and they went ahead and put them in. We ran into some very annoying and frustrating problems with the tech company that had my web name tied up. It took weeks to straighten it out. I appreciate Stuarts persistence in helping me resolve this. I highly recommend this web designer.

Stuart is that dude! He delivered a site well BEYOND what I was hoping for—and ahead of schedule. The training session was clear and super helpful. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. He’s the person for the job!

This was an excellent master class with Stuart on how author's ideas are created and improved on the author's website. All the possibilities of the creative WIX website were explained and shown in an accessible and methodical manner. The necessary support for mastering will be provided. I am very grateful to Stuart for a detailed story and practical demonstration of everything necessary for the author to make his book a bestseller.

I am delighted with the website that Stuart built for me. He was really patient because it took me AGES to get myself sorted. Stuart kept in touch with me all along and once I had what I needed, he finished my website really quickly. I am absolutely delighted with it! We had a Zoom lesson where he showed me how to run my website, which was brilliant. I feel confident enough to take it from here. Stuart is friendly, helpful, and approachable and has made me very happy :) I recommend him to other authors looking for a website.

It was a totally pleasurable professional experience to work with Stu. Not only has he built me a great website that will likely be the envy of some of my other author friends. He was always prompt, punctual, courteous, and highly responsive and effective. He gives you your money's worth and then some, and even provides website use training after building it. He understands the authoring trade too. I would definitely recommend wanting to have a great website built at a reasonable cost.

Stu is a creative web designer who quickly grasps his clients' needs and goes above and beyond to fulfill their wishes. I recommend Stu without reservation and will keep collaborating with him to keep the website updated. Stu, your work is fantastic!

Once I had a clear vision of the look, tone, and overall vibe I wanted, Stu translated it into a high-quality website with impressive accuracy. The process was professional and well managed from start to finish, communication was clear and reliable, and feedback was handled thoughtfully. I’m very happy with the final result and would confidently recommend Stu to anyone looking for a skilled and professional web designer.

Working with Stuart as a web designer was fantastic. He was really committed and flexible. He paid attention to everything I requested and also contributed some of his own ideas. He was incredibly patient with me, responding to each of my messages right away and giving me lots of helpful advice. The design and advice Stuart provided for my website have made me tremendously satisfied. Very delighted with the new website. Modern, polished, and simple to use. The training session and subsequent video were quite helpful. Stuart was on time, accommodating, and patient. Thank you Stuart for your diligence and your hard work. I wholeheartedly recommend Stuart to everyone...

Stuart is fantastic. My new website looks amazing. I understand why he is the number one web designer on Reedsy. Will gladly work with him again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Stuart, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, he was highly professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. He took the time to really listen to what I wanted and made sure my ideas were reflected in the final design. He took the time to teach me how to navigate and alter the page myself and answered all my questions. Everything was delivered on time and to a high standard. I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable web designer.

Stuart is an excellent web designer. I was pleasantly surprised to see a wonderful animation of my book cover that felt truly magical. Every detail and layout was thoughtfully designed to resonate with the theme of my book cover. He took the time to understand my requirements and suggested a few of his own. Stuart is professional, making it a wonderful collaboration.

Stuart produced a very nice website with themes and creativity that were very fitting to the framework of my newest debut novel. He actually does work pretty quickly which I was also impressed by, but the quality is not compromised. He was very open-minded and didn't make decisions without considering what I wanted as a client and an author. There were also ways in which he incorporated my work in which I was surprised by such as an animated cover. I would recommend Stuart because he will not only provide a good creative intuitive design for your website, but also is an expert on how a website needs to be designed to compete and standout in the current marketplace that has been changing and constantly updating itself. I also appreciated that he provided a recorded session on how to use the new website, which saved me having to write notes to keep up and it will always give me a reference point to go back and look at how things work. Definitely good quality service and product for the money spent.

Working with Stu has been a pleasure. He and Ellie made sure changes I requested were implemented immediately and they helped me above and beyond what I expected. Stu trained me very well in managing my website and shared a lot of tips and tricks with me. I highly recommend Stu's design!
