PORTFOLIO

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!

Five Stars All the Way for Stuart Grant! Working with Stuart Grant at the Digital Author's Toolkit was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He built me a dynamite website—clean, professional, and exactly what I needed to showcase my work. But what really stood out was his patience and dedication throughout the entire process. I had a lot of questions (and a fair number of edits!), and Stu never once made me feel like a bother. He was always responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. Even after the build was complete, he went above and beyond by spending as much time as I needed walking me through the backend interface. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel confident managing the site on my own. If you're looking for someone who knows their stuff, genuinely cares about your success, and delivers top-notch work, I cannot recommend Stuart highly enough. Total pro, great teacher, and a pleasure to work with. -Sam Stone

Stuart created a top-of-the-line "author" website from scratch at WIX.com. I was trying to create my website on my own but gave up when I realized it would never match the quality of a professionally designed site. Sometimes it is better not to do everything yourself. It was worth every penny to get it done right in the first go and on time. Stuart stepped in and migrated my domain name from another host and created my website. He was very responsive on email and quickly answered all of my questions and concerns. We had an hour-long video conference call, which he recorded for my later reference, where he explained to me the functions of the site and how to make edits. He linked my book to my social media account and created links for my book to the Amazon sales page. Now I don't have to worry about my website and can focus on writing and marketing. I look forward to working with Stuart in the future when I need to make changes to my site like adding a sales function.

It was great to have Stuart's professional eye overseeing my new website design. I had never used WiX before and was initially anxious about making a change but he reassured me that it was easy to use. His training was clear and fun too!Delighted with my new site, which is already attracting new subscribers, and feeling very confident that it will have a positive effect on my book sales.

Stuart is a master at creating dynamic websites and goes the extra mile to customize the site to suit you. He went out of his way to understand what my books are about and make my website the kind of place where my readers would feel excited about. He gets that the experience and aesthetic impact is important

Stuart was incredible to work with. He made my website user-friendly and kid-friendly. Many fun elements were added to capture attention. He also matched the colors of my cover and the fonts to the website, which was very important to me. He put SEO in place which is a weakness of mine so I am grateful he did that as I am still learning. His communication was exceptional and his response time was quick, actually quicker than I expected most days! In the end, I have a beautiful website to share my story with others. I am very happy with the product created by Stuart and would 100% recommend you consider getting your author website completed by him.

Stu created both an eye-catching and substantive site for my debut novel, Flying Crooked. His initial work all the way through the training he gave me to make adjustments and additions to the website myself, was outstanding. Highly recommended.

I attempted to build a website a couple of years ago and, while serviceable, it was very amateurish and I struggled with every aspect. When I recently decided to hire a professional web designer, I received ten bids, with Stuart standing out for the following reasons: 1. He responded quickly with a detailed proposal and included images using my book covers in different ways. It was clear that he had done his homework on who I am as an author and also as a person. 2. Stuart made me comfortable with our collaboration- not an easy task as I'm exceptionally "tech limited". He's been very patient and willing to do anything to help the process be smooth and meet/exceed my expectations. 3. I'm not used to spending large amounts of money in my author business. However, Stuart was flexible in this area. He wasn't the least expensive, as quotes varied widely, but I felt that the value I'd receive was certainly worth the investment. 4. From the initial "draft" of my site, it's been all about what I desire as an author. Questions are answered, advice is given, and I have no doubt that Stuart will be available for instructions and help as I move forward. This collaboration has worked out perfectly- certainly meeting and exceeding my expectations! Jim Sack

Stu did a great job on my website. I am so glad I had someone create my website who had skills in books; it made the process so much easier. I appreciated all the little extra things he did.

Stuart created a beautiful website for me and showed me very clearly how to operate it. He was helpful and understanding at all times and made our collaboration enjoyable even for a technophobe such as myself. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to any author.

Love the result of what Stuart and his team created. They very thoroughly covered my requirements and set the site up to be fully successful. The end result is an adorable website, perfect for the type of books I am creating! Once they delivered the initial product, I was able to give comments, ideas, and adjustments throughout the site (on both desktop & mobile) until I was satisfied. They were very quick to respond, went over everything I'd asked, and sent video for anything that was unclear. To wrap it up, Stuart spent over an hour with me answering the long list of questions I sent, and guiding me through upkeep of my site.
