Reviews
Williams Commerce developed a really clean simple website for us very quickly. Due to the nature of our product, a Swine Flu Wipe we need a site launched really fast. We looked at a number of Web Designers in Leicester but we felt Williams Commerce were the best in terms of ability to deliver an outstanding website fast and at a good price
We are just delighted. We just love the front end design of the site. We had some complex requirements to connect the website to our Microsoft Dynamics sales order processing, but Williams Commerce had no problem with this.
We are pretty technical so had no issue working with the programmers and James at Williams Commerce, our account manager was very helpful. Kept tabs on the project etc.
Business is building nicely, so fingers crossed for a great 2010! Williams Commerce are providing ongoing support and site changes.

We chose wCommerce because of it's solid core trading platform and ability to integrate robustly with our back office systems. In addition we were impressed with the technical knowledge of the Williams team and their track record of on time delivery.
I like working with Rob at Williams Commerce.. he has a lot of knowledge from a number of years in the industry. Williams Commerce are also providing us with PPC management and more recently helping us with SEO.
