Rob Cummins, owner of Wheelworx Bike and Tri store
"After a bad first experience setting up a website I asked Damien for something I could update easily, quickly and without being particularly computer literate. What he has come up with has been far in excess of my expectations, his backup, support and patience have been fantastic."
"The website has increased business not only delivering online sales but by driving people to us, I have lost count of the amount of e-mails we get praising the website, its ease of use, layout and design."
Rob had a basic brochure website that listed the shop location and the brands stocked.
The site didn’t reflect Rob’s work with the triathlon community and did not mention the high end bikes he stocked.
Rob wanted to move his site to the next level – an online shop.
I delivered the shop and showed Rob how to add products to it. Rob was full of ideas and I added extensive enhancements to the basic shop.
We addressed customer queries quickly. The online shop also brought out the scammers and their fake orders but we took care of them.
The shop allowed new customers browse the products and some people drove long distances to the shop for face-to-face advice from Rob, an experienced triathlete himself (he’s even completed an Ironman Triathlon).
Update December 2009 – Wheelworx Bikes has a new logo and the site header has been revamped to coincide with this.
Update July 2010 – Rob has hired a web site developer, Liam, to work in the shop. Liam is moving the shop to Joomla/VirtueMart and he will maintain it.
