We love the new design IT-Geeks has created for our store. Our goal was to have our Shopify store (BacktotheFuture.store) redesigned to closely match the current design of our Squarespace site (BacktotheFuture.com), and they succeeded. While the redesign timeline took longer than originally planned & expected, the wait was well worth it.

I've been designing enterprise websites for over 25 years and I have to say, I am THOROUGHLY impressed with not only the quality of IT Geek's work, but also the timely communication from Amy, our project manager. A client had introduced me to IT Geeks and I got the chance to work with Amy on that project. I was so impressed with Amy that I now hire IT Geeks for my own clients.

Always responsive to communications, feedback and questions. We'll continue to use them in all future IT development needs for our company. Highly recommend

Our Shopify store is brand new, and ITGeeks has been instrumental in getting us started. We've relied heavily on their expertise for various aspects of store building, including mail, shipping, reviews, troubleshooting, store settings configuration, POS setup, and suggestions for smoother operations. Their patient and knowledgeable communication style has been greatly appreciated. We look forward to extending our relationship with ITGeeks to launch our Go-To-Market social media strategy soon.

This is our second project with IT-Geeks and once again they have provided excellent work, in a timely fashion, and with outstanding communication. We had migration/theme upgrade project that had customizations that went smoothly (even though the project was not easy). We feel lucky to have found a great partner that can help us with our Shopify Store upgrades now and in the future.
