Some good words about Web Merchant Services

For over a decade WMS has been helping merchants and businesses succeed online.


Here are some good words from some of the folks we have helped.

Testimonials

Over the past decade a huge portion of our business has been driven by that greatest of all advertising, "word of mouth" advise. We are very proud of this, as it means our customers and clients are very happy, so much so that they recommend us to their friends and colleagues because they care that the folks they know also have a resource that will provide them what they need to succeed online.

However, a lot of folks find us while searching on the Internet, and they don't have the benefit of these good words from their friends; they have noting to evaluate us on other than this website.

For the benefit of folks who don't know us yet, here are some good words about WMS . . . .

Online Payment Processing

I just wanted to thank you for amazing customer service that went above and beyond my expectations when I signed up. I know you spent many late nights researching my existing shopping cart and payment solution in order to switch my hosting to you and then again when I signed up with your recommended payment processor. I feel like I finally have found a high quality merchant services provider with strong customer service at a very affordable price. I only wish I’d found you sooner!

In gratitude,

We're a Company that provides an idea listing service for people with good ideas, but without the resources to develop them. Essentially, we're "matchmakers" for idea creators and idea buyers! We're not IT people, so we've needed a lot of help getting our website set-up, providing a shopping cart, and online payment processing. Web Merchant Services provided us with everything we've needed, helped us to customize our site, and consulted with us on a number of issues that have come up from time to time. If you're looking to be taken care of at prices that are very fair, you won't go wrong with the staff at WMS.

Your directions were perfect. I am so excited. THANK YOU so much. I have never had a response like this with a business. I actually gave the information to my partner who is actually in the process of setting up his own acct.

eCommerce Solutions

When we at Real Hero Stuff started our Christian t-shirt business, we relied on Web Merchant Services. Is there any other eCommerce solution company out there -- of the caliber of Web Merchant Services? It’s extremely doubtful. So, we figured why waste time searching for something better -- since it probably doesn’t exist?

English Horizons has been a customer of Web Merchant Services since early 2005. WMS has hosted our web site, provided web architecture services and maintenance for our online school for learning English, and SEO services. We are extremely pleased with the excellent service we have received and continue to receive from WMS. On several occasions, WMS staff have gone way beyond the call of duty – during off-duty hours - to work with our software providers to integrate their applications with ours on the WMS servers. On several occasions, they have made it possible for providers to access WMS servers to troubleshoot problems. WMS’s SEO services greatly enhanced page rankings for the English Horizons site in a short period of time. Perhaps online services “ain’t rocket science” (although don’t be too sure); however, I would still recommend that  anyone wanting top drawer, consistently reliable online services, look to WMS.

From 1998 to 2005 my business waded rough seas in the quixotic quest to success namely: running a business losing money, then it happened; enter guru Sean and Web Merchant Services and a life line was offered. Today we’re at the threshold of becoming a major player on the online wheel accessories retail business with more than 7000 item and counting

Thank you Web Merchant Services team, an ecommerce and secure path to the 21 century for any small, big, old or new Business.

You guys are great. You quickly solved every online problem we had. You even went out of your  way to alert us to down-the-road problems that we didn't even see.

Your friendly and courteous manner makes you easy to work with.

We've been a loyal customer for years.

Our experience with Web Merchant Services has been very good. We've been using their services for several years now. The prices are reasonable, and the service is great. Calls are answered promptly, and concerns are listened to and handled professionally. We recommend them to everyone.

I searched the web for a webmaster and found many companies that were able to help me establish my online business presence. However, it was only after interviewing potential webmasters that Sean at WMS stood out. He was eager to help me get my site up and running and he and his team have been there for me whenever a new need arose.

We are now working on a new site to upgrade my shopping cart and I look forward to the continued care and direction that Web Merchant Services has always provided. Sean's the man!

Shopping Carts

When I first started BarParts.com in 1998 I used a shopping cart called Storefront 5. It was OK for its time, but had some problems - actually a lot of problems.

Things would quit working. I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted, and it just wasn't reliable.

By chance, I heard about Sean Connors of Web Merchant Services in 2001, who I was told could help me with the cart. That turned out to be the understatement of the year! I switched my hosting to WMS as well and the moment I did, running an eCommerce site got a whole lot easier.

Over the years, Sean has developed special modules and scripts for me that enhanced my website. But the most important development occurred this year when I switched to Able Commerce 7 shopping cart. My old shopping cart , Storefront 5, was woefully outdated and I needed a change. I didn't know, nor understand asp.net but Sean does. With Sean's help, I now have a website powered by AbleCommerce 7 that is functional, reliable and fast.

Sean knows coding!

I tell everyone that if you want a great shopping cart, use AbleCommerce 7, but don't go it alone.

Call Sean at WMS. Believe me, you'll be glad that you did.

Some time ago, our site, NelsonAppliance.com, needed an upgrade to a newer, more robust shopping cart system. Web Merchant Services was instrumental in making this possible. Not only did they facilitate the necessary upgrade for our site, they also made indispensible changes to its underlying structure, allowing a more uniform appearance throughout all of the different categories within our site.

Their careful customization of our online presence also introduced an improvement in navigation and enhanced our relevance for search engines. The thoughtful advice and expert tech support at WMS made the entire process a much more comfortable experience. Thanks WMS! We look forward to continued success and will always consider you a valuable resource in making it all possible.

Web Site Hosting

For knowledgeable, courteous service and reasonable prices with zero down time, Real Hero Stuff wouldn’t even consider anyone other than Web Merchant Services.

Carole Hawkins
RealHeroStuff.com

At A-J Winbeckler Enterprises, where we sell cake decorating supplies and candy making supplies, we have been online since 1998 and experienced many problems with several previous web hosts until we came to Web Merchant Services in 2004. Problems with our previous hosts included down time (up to 3 days with one host), lack of support (sometimes wouldn't hear back for days), and no direction for improving our site design or search engine ranking.

WMS has met our every need for uptime, prompt and courteous support, plus suggestions for web design and SEO. We have referred many other online businesses to WMS and several are now hosted there. If you are considering switching web hosts, you will be happy with the value, quality, and services offered at WMS.
Marsha Winbeckler

In 1998, I started BarParts.com.

I tried about 6 hosting sites trying to find one that gave great support. The shopping cart that I bought was pretty rudimentary and I needed help with it constantly. One company you had to email if they went down and couldn't contact them in any other way. Not good when running an eCommerce site.

Then, by luck, I found Web Merchant Services in 2001.

Not only did the uptime of my website increase to near perfect, but so did the speed. Fast and reliable hosting with support 24/7.

But that's not the best part. Sean at Web Merchant Services is the best part. Over the years he has helped me rewrite my shopping cart, offered wonderful ideas for SEO and offered suggestions for making my site one of the top sites in the Bar Accessories arena. His service is way above and beyond simple hosting. His service reminds me of the Verizon ads with the network walking behind you.

For web hosting, I recommend Web Merchant Services to all my friends (but not to my competitors).

John Carter

I've received excellent hosting service from Web Merchant Services. Whenever I contact them with questions or problems, they always responds very quickly. Very few, if any, internet companies offer personalized service like WMS. I'm completely happy with them.

I just wanted to thank you for providing my company with the professional support and value added services we needed in getting our project of the ground.

We have hosted with other larger and more impersonal shops in the past, but WMS gave us exactly what we were looking for - SPECIAL ATTENTION with a focus on support. Also, we are impressed with the speed of your network, our site has been running smoothly and we have not had a single customer complaint about performance in any area.

It was a pleasure working with Web Merchant Services and Sean Connors.  They were critical to me and the successful lunch of two sites.  One for a non-profit organization where I volunteer.  After that implementation I moved my business account creating and getting our DotNetNuke web site up and running. Their knowledge, experience, and step by step approach made the site cutover a snap. Sean was responsive to our questions and quickly provided answers. The professional documentation he provided helped us get our accounts configured without issue. The hosting service is top notch and provides many analysis tools regarding web traffic and other useful statistics. Our web site conversion was a seamless transition.

Site  Design

WMS created a great looking website for Comtex. We get a lot of comments on how professional it looks and how user friendly it is for the visitor to find a business telephone or video surveillance system.

The cost for the design was extremely cost competitive and well worth the money. Using WMS was one of my better decisions that I have made while working at Comtex.

Application Development and Customizations

When we need a very sophisticated web application for ourselves or our clients there is only one team call, Web Merchant Services. WMS has never told us there was an application they could not build and they have never let us down. If you need bug free code that uses minimal server resources I personally recommend them. The best web developers we have ever worked with!

I first called WMS for merchant services and looking for some economical web development for a very unique and challenging website I wanted to build. It was a great challenge to formulate my vision into a working, flowing, profitable website, and WMS DID IT!

They always kept their focus on accomplishing my goals and costs effectively. Their team used skill, creativity and knowledge to think "out of the box" and make my dream real! And they did an awesome job doing it! Their attention to the little things, and making my account top priority when needed, won my loyalty a thousand times over.

I believe when you are building a website, and you hire a web developer it is just like entering into a long term marriage, and you want to pick your partner well, for they will mean everything to your success in the long haul of constant changes that occur in the Internet industry. I am proud to be in partnership with WMS and I consider myself deeply blessed to have found such an excellent full service website spouse. I would recommend them to anyone and I do!

We’ve worked with Web Merchant Services for many years. While we have found them to be knowledgeable, talented and very competent, that is not the only reason we continue to work with them. There are many web companies that can lay claim to the aforementioned traits. However, in our experience there’s often a sad lack of customer service.

That’s what we love about Web Merchant Services. They often answer the phone (a miracle in these days) and if they aren’t able to answer, they call back. They are always friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile. For example, I had a client with a problem on a web site and had to call Web Merchant Services at 11pm on a Saturday night. They called back and fixed the issue. Problem solved.

The quality of their work has always been excellent. Technically they stay ahead of the pack. I have no hesitation in recommending Web Merchant Services to you.

Sincerely,

Web Merchant Services has been a wonderful company to work with. With our unique baby bibs website we have sometimes needed quick help and responses. They always responded very quickly and worked on the issue to completion as quickly as they can. They are very patient and helpful with any and all questions. We highly recommend their services!

We have worked closely with WMS for a few years.  As a relatively new  business with a limited budget, it is important that whomever we  chose to partner with is  attentive to all of our needs.  We feel  fortunate to have come across WMS as they answer questions in a  timely manner, they are very knowledgeable and provide outstanding  customer service.  We highly recommend the services of WMS whether  you have a small or large business.

APICS / iChapter

I almost forgot to share my experience at the last PDM with you. I was asked to talk about the new iChapter web site and answer questions for the attendees. After giving a very brief overview of the new web site we received a rousing round of applause. Everyone I talked with was very positive about the new site and the added functionality.

Thanks for all your help making our chapter look more professional and providing the functionality our members deserve.

Charles London, CPIM, CSCP

The Fox Valley APICS Chapter started using Web Merchant Services to host our iChapter web site in May, 2008. We began conversion of our old web web site at that time. As is typical in any conversion, we had plenty of questions for the support people (namely, Sean).

When we e-mailed questions to Sean, we always received replies the same day. If the technical issue was too complex to handle via an e-mail, Sean called one of us the same day.

At all times, Sean's advice was easy to understand and fixed our issue. We completed our conversion within a month without any major issues.

Since our implementation of iChapter I have not been too involved in the daily operations of the web site, but you guys have been helpful, friendly, professional, responsive, and committed to us getting our site launched, and everything has run seamlessly since then.

John Peterson

Web Merchant Services has done a terrific job with the APICS Milwaukee website. They've been a true partner in providing outstanding customer support and professional guidance. I've been extremely impressed by the responsive service we've received. Emails and phone calls are returned promptly and issues are resolved quickly. Content changes are routinely done in a matter of hours.

Sean is super to deal with -- pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, and nothing is ever a problem for him. Sean routinely helps me with anything from basic how to questions to major site overhauls.

The integration with our site with iChapter is seamless and on the rare occasions we have a burp, Web Merchant Services deals with iChapter directly. I never get bounced between these two vendors.

Like almost all APICS board members, I'm a busy working professional and managing our website is a volunteer position. It's been a real pleasure working with Web Merchant Services. Our chapter website looks great, runs great, and I get it all done in a minimum of time, even with my heavy travel schedule.

I'm always happy to recommend Web Merchant Services and iChapter to any APICS chapter.
