“To give Joe a 5 star rating is an understatement of his work. Joe is the personification of “you get what you pay for.” He is a good, prompt and courteous communicator, consistently on-line and available. He thinks through the details. Makes suggestions when appropriate, says no when ideas can cause problem and has an eye for good design. Here is the story. We needed to implement ZenCart and hired Joe after a previous contractor seemed to go nowhere with our installation. The first thing I noticed about Joe was his honesty and care about the project. After looking at what was installed, he showed us that the installed version was outdated, and while he was willing to work on that version, in the future we’d face a migration that would be more cumbersome after the system was loaded. When we asked if the new version of ZC was stable, he pointed us to several of his customers that were successfully running the new version. In about half the time it took the previous contractor to install the package, Joe did the same but his version worked, looked attractive and easy on the eye. In addition, he installed several add-on modules that we needed and use regularly. We then went through a whole bunch of system changes. Not only he was quick responding, but he suggested and anticipated things that we had not considered. He treated our project with care beyond our expectations. On more than one occasion when we asked for some esoteric modification, he did the research, explained what it takes to make the change, and then promptly cut himself out of some work by explaining how the suggested change will reduce the system’s maintainability. When the system went on line and a user discovered a bug, he fixed the bug so quickly that when we asked the user to try it agin, she actually doubted if the bug ever existed. Finally his work is so good and he has saved us so much time, that while our budget is tight, we have unanimously decided to give Joe a bonus. We feel lucky to work with Joe.”
