Tres Amigos World Imports

Tres Amigos approached Blue Acorn in early 2008 looking for a service provider that could help propel their website sales to the levels they had expected, but weren't yet achieving. They were an established company that had worked with several providers in the past, but were looking for a provider with more, someone that can help them not only develop their site, but also provide eCommerce and marketing expertise to help them in growing revenue. With 300% growth in monthly sales in our pocket, continual month over month growth today, and a client that's eager for more, we couldn't pick a better client to showcase in our portfolio.

We completed a project that has taken months of dedicated hard work and problem solving - and with Blue Acorn's persistence, patience, and professionalism throughout this project it has resulted in an online store that our family can truly be proud of. We came to you with a vision and you made it a reality - knowing that what I desired was not technically even possible yet - but you and your team made it happen. The feedback is coming in now, and everyone is highly impressed. I have no hesitations in recommending Blue Acorn to my friends and associates. Aran Seaman - Eartheasy

As the founder of Eartheasy.com, I want to thank you for the excellent work you have performed for our new online store. Letting go, and trusting the work of others, is something I have little experience with. So thank you for reaching to solve the many challenges in this project. The finished product is elegant and professional, and exceeds my expectations. Your personal investment in this project is apparent, and I hope you feel the same pride and sense of ownership that we do. Greg Seaman - Eartheasy

Dundee Citrus

Dundee Citrus was looking for a robust web presence to boost the catalog presence while adhering to the business issues when dealing with seasonal gift products. Together, Dundee Citrus and Blue Acorn identified the functional requirements, the goals of the project, and selected Magento Commerce as the eCommerce platform to develop the site on. With requirements in hand, and a tight deadline to meet, the Blue Acorn team designed and developed the site, including a number of Magento customizations to handle specific needs. After the launch of the site just in time for the holiday season in late October of 2009, the Dundee Citrus website instantly experienced a lift in sales, conversions, and overall customer satisfaction.

When I first spoke with Blue Acorn I told them we don't sell widgets - our products are highly customizable and constantly changing with complex shipping policies and lead times. In addition, we were on a tight deadline. Blue Acorn worked closely with us to fully develop a schedule and a plan for our website. I am pleased to say that Blue Acorn delivered our website on-time, on-budget, and as-promised. Dennis Krehl - Dundee Citrus

We needed a flexible e-commerce website and were originally pointed to Blue Acorn based on all the positive reviews in the Magento community. After detailed discussions I was confident that Blue Acorn understood and could deliver the features we needed in a website. We finally have a website we are proud to market to our customers which accurately reflects our company image and has great functionality. Our sales are way up and we are excited about the future of our website and working with Blue Acorn. Dennis Krehl - Dundee Citrus

ila&i

ila&i is a jewelry design studio with an eye for the un-designed and the overlooked, and was looking for a partner that could deliver a website that exhibited the same approach to showcase and sell their handcrafted works of art. After evaluating numerous service providers, they wisely chose to engage with Blue Acorn on this endeavor. With a list of very specific requirements and custom functionality, Blue Acorn turned that vision into a reality building their eCommerce website on the Magento Commerce platform with several modifications to create an experience as unique as the jewelry itself.

When I started my search for a development firm to build my e-commerce site I scoured the web and talked to countless companies. Blue Acorn was by far the most knowledgeable group I had spoke to and the most practical in weighing my options. In development, it is easy to promise the world and actually fall short but they never went over the budget they quoted and finished my site to "T". They are a professional group that I would recommend to anyone looking to build an e-commerce site. Vikas Sodhani - Ila&i

I am very pleased with quality of work that Blue Acorn provided me. I cannot stress how important it is to be able to pick up the phone and call on your development team and have a courteous and intelligent person talk to you. It's a rare quality in development firms, and this is where Blue Acorn sticks out from the pack. They went the extra mile in the end to make sure to finish my site in the allotted budget, despite numerous technical challenges. I will be using Blue Acorn during the full evolution of my site.

Blue Acorn has been an incredibly valuable asset when it comes to marketing, and growing our company. We don't have a team of in-house experts, and we rely heavily on Blue Acorn to help us with our online initiatives. And they deliver. Without them, I can't say that we'd be where we are today - happy, and growing. Jeff - BeerTees.com

JBandMe.com is the online retail website for a mother and daughter women's boutique out of Holland MI. They came to Blue Acorn in 2008 looking to improve their existing website, which looked nice, but converted poorly, and generated very little traffic from search engines. Blue Acorn designed and developed their website on Magento Commerce with some custom functionality to enhance the user experience. What resulted was a site that converted 43.5% higher, and drew in 62.3% more organic traffic.

Overall, we wanted to say thanks to Blue Acorn for all their hard work. The team is very knowledgeable and always willing to offer advice on what avenues would be best to grow the website. We highly recommend this company for eCommerce design and consulting work. Sara Onken - JB and Me

Seedcake.com approached Blue Acorn in 2009 in search of a firm that "not only had outstanding design, but also were experts in Magento Search Engine Optimization" to help them launching their new bird-feeder website. Having an SEO background himself, Anthony Dicembre was looking for a partner that also shared an intimate knowledge of SEO and would ensure that the site was built with best practices in mind. Together we worked together in creating a visually stunning site that performs exceptionally. This approach allowed Seedcake.com to shoot out of the gates with a lot of momentum that continues to propel the growth of this retailer.

Seedcake Testimonial pic

After a lot of research we confidently chose Blue Acorn because they were the only company that had not only outstanding design, but also were experts in Magento Search Engine Optimization. Blue Acorn did an excellent job identifying our goals, setting milestones and delivering on each of them. They quickly identified how our company was different from a competitive advantage and designed accordingly. They also did a fantastic job adapting to our constraints, such as our schedule challenges, which make the process tremendously smooth. Anthony Dicembre - Seedcake.com

Every single day we get compliments on the design of SeedCake.com and we couldn't be happier about it. I would find it hard to believe that there is a design firm for the Magento platform that holds a candle to Blue Acorn's eye for design, SEO expertise and is as easy to work with. I will be recommending them to anyone who is truly serious about ecommerce. Anthony Dicembre - Seedcake.com
