Justin's  review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Stu was incredible to work with. He was very professional and was communicating throughout the entire project. He took the time to redesign my website and did a fantastic job making it stand out far beyond what my original site looked like. He made sure I understood how to manage the site before handing everything off to me. Stu did a great job and I'd recommend him to anyone looking to build their first page or redesigning their website.

Carlo's review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Stuart is awesome. Not only did he make me a fantastic and professional site but he helped me out in ways that went above and beyond.

Stuart has done work for the Self Publishing Formula crew. That's James Blatch and Mark Dawson, for the three people that don't know - in the self publishing world they are the gold standard. To work with someone who has done work for them meant I had an instant heavy hitter on my team.

It was clear to me that Stuart should be my guy by looking at his portfolio. He makes web sites for authors. That should tell you everything, His sites look exactly as I wanted mine to look - like a professional authors. So it was easy to chose him.

The work he did for me is great and totally on brand. He had good looking design ideas and he implemented them quickly and easily. I didn't have to wait around for him to do something. He gave my site (horror genre) the perfect little touches you would expect from a cool web site.

He did two zoom sessions with me for longer than he needed to. He made sure I was up to speed on all of the small details that can be overwhelming if you don't have someone to show you the way. And he recorded our sessions so I didn't have to rely on my ridiculously tattered memory!! But here is where Stuart really stood out - he helped me with things that were more than just a web site. He totally helped me with my second cover and I ended up getting a new one that is actually on brand and looks like part of a series unlike the one I had before. Now my series looks like a real series!

He also helped me with author career stuff. He has worked with enough authors to have an experienced perspective on things. He strongly encouraged me to get my books out there instead of sitting around and planning. Now my books are on preorder and things are moving in an exciting direction rather than static non motion. He gave me the kick I needed.

In short if you want a professional author web site, Stuart is your guy. If you want extra help with email responders, and branding, and cover design and career advice then Stuart is definitely the guy for your team. No need to hesitate, save the thinking for your next book. Just hire him, it's an easy decision. If you want to see what he made for me - go to carlohart.com (and get your free box set! haha!!)

Trailing tails wanted an impressive and functional website for customers to book classes. The site is clean and easy to navigate and allows customers to book on any classes and also then log on to check their bookings.

Scott wanted a brand new website to promote his book and connect with readers. He wanted a very specific design which was great fun to work with. The site also captures email addresses to grow Scott's email list

A science fiction/space themed website for a childrens book!

Stu is a very busy but kind man! I got to learn a lot from him during the 60 minute call, and he showed a great deal of patience while we both waited for the cover design(s) to come in. Some things in the initial build felt rushed, like off-centered text and images or not matching across all platforms despite the price, but I also feel bad for taking so long on my end. I needed the most help with incorporating a newsletter into my site and SEO optimization, which Stu was very knowledgeable on. 

It was a pleasure working on your site JJ Noad and I am so thrilled that you are happy with the result! 
No doubt we will work together again!

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, he understood exactly what I needed: a site that didn’t just look good, but truly represented me as an author. If you're a writer or creative person looking for a website that showcases your style and makes you stand out, I highly recommend Stuart. He doesn’t just design websites; he builds an online presence.

Great experience working with Stuart. The design he made for my website is amazing and I couldn’t have imagined a better website. I also appreciated how he went through all the different elements in the site and how to use them and recorded our meeting so I could refer back to it later. 

Working with Digital Authors Toolkit has been easy. Stu was patient and helpful as we worked together to develop my new author website and he interpreted my initial brief really well, creating a design I love.   He was very responsive with all my feedback and the handover was thorough, covering every aspect of managing the site myself.  I've found Wix to be a really simple site to navigate around as I've made updates and changes.  

Stu has been quite brilliant with all of the creative work and energy that he not only put into the site but his patience with me as I got used to the mechanics behind the site. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking to build a site - to hire Stu. He goes above and beyond.

Stu at the Digital Authors Toolkit was exemplary. The finished website looked brilliant after a few tweaks and communication was clear throughout. I would heartily recommend Stu to anyone looking for a website designer. Thanks.

Working with Stuart Grant at Digital Authors Toolkit was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Stuart’s communication was top-notch—he kept me updated at every stage, explained technical details in plain language, and was always quick to respond to questions. His eye for design is remarkable, and he knows how to blend professional functionality with a clean, engaging look.

Stuart goes above and beyond, and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Stuart created a terrific website for me, then taught me how to use and maintain it. It's been a positive experience. I recommend him strongly.

Stuart designed my editorial site from scratch and I am completely blown away by the outcome. His work on other author sites really stood out to me, and I knew he would be the right choice. He is professional (in his work and demeanour), polite, and very easy to get on with. The additional resources and support provided throughout made this a very pleasant experience. I am will definitely be keeping in touch for any updates and questions. 100% recommend! (Especially if you are an author)

StuartG designed and built me a fully operational website from scratch.  He tailored the site for my needs as an author.  Using my book cover art and animations, he made a very engaging site with multiple pages.  Communication was great and he started work soon after our initial contact and finished the whole project a week early.  I plan on seeking his assistance again when I add more books to my catalog.

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 knowledge

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!
