Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the new website.
I am having a lot of customers tell me how attractive the website is and I am now noticing an increase in business since we went live with it.
I especially want to thank you for all your hard work, patience while I was learning the new system and your creative ideas.
Stephanie Cookson - Babykit
This is the third successful website I have developed with SMIS and am planning on doing many more.
You cannot put a price on the quality of service, knowledge and helpful expertise that is always available. They really understand the importance of what a good website can achieve for your business and they deliver a perfect solution every time.
Thank you yet again for developing a brilliant website.
Yvonne Rogers - Wooden Keepsakes
Excellent, thanks for all your input.
Sometimes we are so busy we don’t step back enough to appreciate what the website has achieved. Roll on the next 5,000 orders!

Example Websites
See below for examples of sites we have recently built:
Babykit
A few years ago we built Baby-Kit an Ecommerce site based upon the then popular OSCommerce platform. After the success of their first store, the owner Stephanie approached us again with the goal of integrating her products with Google Base shopping search.
We wasted no time in providing a solution based on the new Magento platform and even imported all her existing products and customers from the old site, saving what could have been days of data entry on her part.
Wooden Keepsakes
After building many sites with us designed around our old OSCommerce platform, Yvonne Rogers wanted to take this site to the next level - we didnt disappoint!
Rebuilt on the Magento platform, the new Wooden Keepsakes has taken more orders in the first 2 months of going live than the old site did in a whole year.

Special Times Gifts
Special Times Gifts are taking their first steps on the world wide web with a Magento based ecommerce solution.
Their extensive range of products was imported directly from the manufacturers databases, saving both time and money in laborious data entry.
