Customers Rave About Us
I had (and still have) the pleasure of working with Rave on our e-Comm site using Magento Enterprise. Their teams implemented a very custom solution on time and on budget. Our customers love the new site and our on-line sales continue to grow year over year. If you are looking for a partner instead of a vendor, Rave team is your answer.
I have not once regretted the decision to move to Rave Digital. Rave completely redid my website, and completely changed my workflow. It used to take us about 15 minutes to process an order on our old system. Now it takes 1 minute or less. Everything we do at our office is with the greatest efficiency possible.
I was originally very skeptical about out-sourcing our web development to the US (I am based in the UK). However, 6 years in to our professional relationship, I am confident in saying that we made the right choice.
