What Our Clients Say
We pride ourselves on building strong, lasting relationships with our clients by delivering exceptional results and fostering genuine partnerships.
“Ecommerce Partners is professional, knowledgeable, and flexible. Those were kind of like the big three things that I really leaned on because I swear there were times and that I felt like EP was probably thinking, ‘What are these people doing’? But they always just led us through it and were super patient. I really just appreciated that. I really appreciated that partnership.”
“Communication has been great. They’re always open and there when I need them. I’m probably not the most structured person but their weekly meetings kept things moving forward on track. I do appreciate the package and the communication feels tailored to exactly what I’m looking for as a consumer, and that’s very important to me.”
“We were early online. We built a website way back in the late 90s on, I believe and then eventually it was time to move. And so when we were building a new site, we were introduced to Ecommerce partners and they built our first site for us. I love those guys. They are a solid team and the big thing is that they care. No matter when 24-7 if we had a problem, they’re all over it.”
