  • We are beyond thrilled with our new website, thanks to the amazing team at Ethercycle! The design and functionality are everything we envisioned—and more. It perfectly captures the essence of our business and has exceeded our expectations.

    Working with Ethercycle has been an absolute pleasure. Their responsiveness, helpfulness, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. They went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the project was handled with care, and the instructional videos they provided have been an invaluable resource for us moving forward.

    We couldn’t be happier with the final result and are so grateful for the hard work and creativity they brought to the table. We’re also excited about the possibility of collaborating with them again in the future for updates or additional work on the site.

    If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and dedicated team to create or update your website, look no further than Ethercycle. We highly recommend them!

    Warm regards,

    Jacquelyn and the BK Team

  • We are extremely the work and support that we have received from Ethercycle. Communication was always instant, but more importantly the benefits to the updated website could be seen immediately in conversions. Ethercycle also provide great post-work support to continually improve the site.

  • Ethercycle is always quick to reply. Willing to take on unique projects. Great turn around time and they over deliver, which is rare in this industry. Knowledge and understanding of all things e-commerce, marketing and development is a power combination that Ethercycle crushes.

    Looking forward to continue working with Ethercycle in the future!

  • I was concerned about usability of my ecommerce store. I wanted to make sure the user experience was positive and that they could find what they were looking for in my ecommerce store. I wasn't sure my design was optimized and I needed Kurt & team to help me with that. Thanks to Ethercycle, my site has been completely redesigned. It is easier to shop and find products. The search is more prominent and the color scheme is very pleasing to the eye. My traffic and conversions have increased and therefore my sales have increased. I now love my site! Kurt is super easy going to work with, super easy to talk to and empathizes with any concerns. He also knows the ultimate goal is to increase conversions/sales and not just design a pretty site that goes nowhere. He realizes it has to be optimized for sales. I would absolutely recommend Ethercycle! Kurt and Paul listen to their customers and come up with solutions to solve their customers' problems. Along the way they will suggest additional ideas or give you alternatives to solve problems in different ways- maybe ways you never knew existed. They are the Shopify/ecommerce experts and know technologies outside the Shopify box and how they all relate- email integration, social media integration, etc. –Renee Van Winkle

  • When migrating to Shopify+, I was concerned that the data conversion from my old platform would not go smoothly. It went smoothly. Data scrubbing took only about a third of the time I had allocated for the project. The Shopify site has many more modern features/apps and in just two weeks revenue has already increased 200%. I was very limited on my old platform; it's nice not to be told I couldn't offer or do something on the Shopify platform; Ethercycle found solutions to almost all my requests. I have already recommended Ethercycle to other people interested in a Shopify site.

  • I had launched an online store before but was in need of a new ecommerce solution for a different business I was involved in and was working with a team that had worked in retail but not ecommerce. I knew Ethercycle could do all the heavy lifting to get our store designed and ready for business with an amazing ecommerce site and that's what they did. We were able to launch our store in time for the holidays which typically accounts for 50% of our annual online sales. With a team that had never worked with Shopify or in ecommerce we were able to successfully launch thanks to the help of Kurt and the Ethercycle team. They make things extremely simple. Having worked with their team before they had a sense for what I was trying to achieve and then make sure every step of the process is crystal clear in terms of what they need to move forward and how long that will take (though most of the time they got it done way faster than they had even committed). Ethercycle knows ecommerce. They know how to design a store to be a high sales conversion machine and they're a great resource along the way if you run into any questions big or small. –Chris Keiser, VP Operations and Finance

  • Before going into a full-blown custom design, I looked around to see what our options were to improve the current theme we had (Turbo by out of the sandbox) and noticed Ethercycle has worked on numerous sites that are using the same theme so I felt comfortable hiring them - at the same time a huge concern of mine was getting this done before Black Friday which they did no problem! Everything was very transparent, simple and the work was completed in the timely manner we needed. Especially with the going back n forth, they were very professional and explained every situation. (Their use of screencast videos to explain work is a cool bonus too.)

  • We hired Ethercycle because of their history of success. With their pragmatic approach, we saw an instant POP! in our sales on launching the optimized theme they redesigned for us. They're very easy to work with, I highly recommend Ethercycle.

  • Hiring any agency to build a new store for a new business is scary– I didn't know how the end product will look and if I'd be disappointed after spending the money. Then I hired with Ethercycle. They were very responsive to my input and suggestions, but willing to push back when they did not agree with the ideas, and were willing to share experiences from other projects on best practices. I'd recommend them, they were easy to work with, and delivered on time. –Jeff Nye, BolsterSleep.com

  • Kurt and his team delivered on every aspect of my project and were amazing resources of knowledge throughout the journey. The strategies we've implemented have already resulted in huge positive ROI gains. I love their deep knowledge of ecommerce best practices for improving conversion and minimizing customer confusion. I have no doubt in my mind that you will come out on top if you work with Ethercycle. –TJ

  • We had worked with many creative partners in the past; all of whom had totally missed the mark on bringing our vision to life and effectively capturing the essence of our brand. The team at Ethercycle was not only easy to work with but a *pleasure* to work with. Using easy to understand onboarding documents, they were really able to capture our brand in a way that engages the users we want to connect with most. We walked away with a website we are proud of and will usher our business into the next big phase of growth. I have an incredibly high standard for the kind of people I work with and quality of work that is delivered. The team at Ethercycle is the best of the best. They bring an incredible level of creativity to the table, deliver flawless work, and kept our project on track all the way to completion. In three words, we'd recommend Ethercycle for someone who values: Creativity, Quality, and Ease. –Nikki Mocerino, COO

  • In the past, I had been burned by several web designers and developers who all promised fast results and were either unable to deliver or too slow. I was concerned that I could get burned again, or that I'd get put in a waiting line until they finished up everyone else's projects and could finally get to mine. I was also suffering from inconsistent sales on my online store and stuck in the feast/famine cycle. I worried I would be small potatoes in the ecommerce world, because some of their clients were so big and important.

    However, working with Ethercycle was a dream. My site was able to get optimized for a flood of BFCM traffic. They worked quickly and resolved any issues before Black Friday, and then some that I was not even aware were there. Their work allowed us to have a $40k gross sale instead of the $14k gross we had experienced with the same sale/promo materials just five months before.

    Hiring Ethercycle was painless in every way. Everything was easy-- I didn't feel like I was bothering them, I didn't have to nag them, and they went above and beyond each time to make sure I had a site that was not just functional but also optimized for conversions. As you can see from our dramatic revenue jump, they did a great job optimizing our website for sales with a few development tweaks and suggestions.

    You'd be an idiot to keep looking for a different expert once you've found Ethercycle. They helped us increase sale-over-sale revenue by $26k+ and month over month revenue has grown from ~$1500 to $2500 per month to $5-10k per month and growing. Plus, they didn't treat me like small potatoes :)

  • When migrating from Magento to Shopify, our primary objective as a premium brand was to have a website that was equal parts functional and beautiful to provide our customers with a great user experience. Ethercycle delivered: We got a beautiful functioning website. Kurt, who lead the project, was easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable with web design and Shopify. I'd absolutely recommend their great knowledgeable team!

    YardbirdStore build or redesign
  • My biggest challenge was time. After first starting my store myself, knowing how to add all of the functions and make the site look legit was a concern.

    Hiring Ethercycle to take care of it for me resulted in a site that's efficient, has a great user experience, and has improved the perceived quality of our product. All I had to do was say what I wanted and they made it happen.

    Save yourself time and money: hire Ethercycle because there is nothing worse than having a website that doesn’t meet your customer's expectation.

  • When I hired Ethercycle, I was admittedly a little concerned if I would get support throughout the process because of their project pricing model. (This includes both responsiveness and ongoing adjustments).

    What we found was that Kurt and his team were a pleasure to work with. They were very hands-on and responsive, making our brand feel like it was important to their business. They also cared considerably about the end product and as a result, were open to making changes that made sense. They also provided active feedback on business decisions and provided us with the best return on our investment given our end goal of generating clothing sales.

    We enjoyed Ethercycle's laser focus on generating a visually appealing website while making it purposeful which in our case was to generate merchandise sales. It is easy to have a utilitarian website or a beautiful site, but a combination of the both, is difficult to achieve. Additionally, the help that was provided outside of the products we purchased was greatly appreciated, and Ethercycle's team always spent extra effort on critical areas, not because it was part of the scope of the project, but just because they felt it was the right thing to do.

    I would recommend Ethercycle's services because of their responsiveness and return on investment. In a very short period, Kurt and his team was able to take our vision from concept to reality, and helped our company grow through the process. His team provided hands-on support and did not just leave us with a solution, but helped us to develop our brand from the inside out. Ethercycle's services are truly as advertised and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome.

  • As my store grows, I knew we had had issues that needed to be fixed in order to go to the next level, and we wanted someone with the right expertise to get it done. Ethercycle is an amazing and talented team. Kurt immediately began identifying potential issues, provided great solutions, and implemented them flawlessly. Because of that work, our revenue, conversions, and overall user flow is better than ever! Their workflow is by the far the best aspect of all this: seamless transition, positive results, and great communication all the way through.

    ZERO FOXTROTTheme customization
  • We were new to the Shopify platform, having come over from Magento. While the features of the platform seemed appealing, we were looking for someone to lead us through managing and maintaining a professional site design (at an affordable cost). We also needed someone who could work with an integration partner, as we were migrating our current product catalog from Magento to Shopify.

    During the process, Kurt provided solutions and workarounds that made a site migration (and its hurdles) manageable. Being new to the platform, Kurt helped guide us through all of the features and functionality of the standard package - while also adapting to our unique store migration.

    Kurt went above and beyond to provide solutions to issues that were outside of his usual purview. He even walked us through Shopify and its features after he completed the initial setup and design. I feel like I have a solid understanding of how to maintain my site moving forward.

    I would recommend Kurt & Ethercycle to others looking for a smooth Shopify site setup. He is straight to the point and is very prompt in addressing feedback/revisions. We love the design of our store, and it is a huge upgrade from our existing Magento store (without an upgrade in cost).

  • Before working with Kurt, I was hesitant about his fee at first because I’ve wasted my money on other programs and never made the money back. My website was getting between 2,500–3,000 visits/day but I was only converting at 0.35% which means I was blowing a lot of money on traffic just to get a sale. Within 24 hours of hiring Kurt, my conversions jumped to 1.1%, then 1.26%, and now its been hovering around 1.12%. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do the math; working with Kurt has more then doubled my income. Aside from the fact that he doubled my money, he also did a few extra things and didn’t charge me. I'm 1000% a believer in Kurt's ability to the point that if he said, 'if you run through that wall your sales will increase,' I would do it.

  • Our website had been performing well, but we had a few bottlenecks we wanted to improve. Knowing Kurt and his expertise from guesting on his podcast, I came to him (and his team) with some of our own customer service concerns hoping to find a solution. As a result, we came up with some great solutions to alleviate the concerns we had, which freed us up from customer service, letting us to focus more on running and growing the business. It's been great to outsource theme development to a team that really knows what they're doing, it's an investment in our freedom. I'd absolutely recommend Kurt & the Ethercycle team. –Beav Brodie, TacticalBabyGear.com

  • We wanted a good partner to make sure our Shopify website was set up to be attractive and provide a positive user experience while helping us grow our sales. That's what we got with Kurt who has been a fabulous partner for our project. He is a true Shopify and ecommerce expert. He tackled our project with incredible efficiency and responded to our questions and feedback quickly. We love our new website and appreciated how quick and easy Kurt made the design process. I think Shopify and Ethercycle are a fabulous combination for any business wanting to sell online.

  • Our team had no experience building an e-commerce store. We needed an integrated system or approach to complete our orders using our current warehousing solution. Moreover, we needed a professional look to our website. By hiring Kurt and the Ethercycle team, we got everything we asked for and more. In an online world filled with people cross-selling, upselling and vendors only thinking about themselves, Kurt is a true gentleman and a pleasure to work with. I will be referring Kurt to people in my mastermind and so on. –Richard Greenup, TNH Outdoors

  • I hired Kurt and the Ethercycle team to punch up my website. My top priority was to have my store look how I wanted it to, not generic and cheesy. In a call together, I worked out my vision for the site with work, and then he went to work. Now my store is easier to navigate through and has a more modern, clean look. I loved the ease of working with Kurt and his team. They got the job done quickly, my site looks great (and doesn't use stock internet photos like another guy I hired wanted to do) and all of my questions were answered right away.

  • "As a successful Amazon merchant, I already have a lot on my plate, and I was worried that setting up a Shopify store would be another distraction. Then I hired Kurt, and that was the right decision. Kurt has done a fantastic job of just getting it done, without me having to do hardly anything. The best thing was how comfortable it is to work with Kurt. It didn't take up my time at all. I like to get an expert to do things, and Kurt understood my business. I would trust Kurt for any future projects."

  • I contacted Kurt when I decided it was time to get a professional theme setup. When researching experts, I was concerned that my project wasn't going to get done promptly, but after hiring Kurt, I was pleasantly surprised by how fast and efficient Kurt was at communicating with me and doing the work. He delivered. Kurt was easy to work with, responsive and understood my vision. Kurt knows his business and delivers. He went over and beyond to make sure I was happy.

  • My concern has always been money, being a small business every penny counts. Kurt's price point was more than competitive on all services so I decided to make the jump. I knew that Kurt is a leader in the industry and would help us move the needle. We are in the first stages of handing our ad campaigns over to them, again my concern is delegating and ensuring that others have my companies best interest in mind.

    I assumed we'd move the needle, what I didn't expect is how much. We're seeing continual improvement, growth, conversions. It's been 7 days and we've made our initial investment back and still have 24 days to hyper focus on our target market. The tips and tricks you learn from Ethercycle and their Unofficial Shopify Podcast are only the tip of the iceberg, I cannot wait to scale up.

    If you want to grow your business, then call Kurt, he can help. Even if you think you've got the market on lock, trust me you don't. He'll help you niche down, and slowly chip away at your competitors winning business one client at a time. The next level process's that he's utilized are simple yet very effective.

  • We did our research for a Shopify expert to partner with and that led us to Ethercycle. Having just recently completed a theme setup with them I can state that we made the right choice. Kurt and his team are extremely professional, great attention to detail, quick to respond. They've earned our trust and any future work. I wouldn't even consider looking outside of the Ethercycle team for any projects.

I'd recommend Kurt and the Ethercycle team to any niche business looking to build a professional site."

  • I couldn't be happier with the services from Ethercylce! Kurt is amazing to work with, and takes the time to really understand your business, and the struggles you may have. Their knowledge on growing a business is on another level than anyone else I have dealt with in the past. Straight to the point of what needs to be done. I will continue to use Ethercylce for ALL my marketing, designing, and Ads help. If you are really looking to grow your business, choose these guys, and you won't be disappointed!

  • Before hiring Ethercycle, I knew I wanted to get Facebook Ads set up in a manner that started generating revenue as soon as possible without spinning our wheels. Once Kurt and the Ethercycle team got to work, their efforts began to pay off within the first 45 days. After 60 days, the results were phenomenal. They allowed us to focus on running the business while they got customers in the door through effective Facebook Ad funnels.

    Ethercycle is knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. There's no fluff with this team. They know what they're doing. Just hire these guys. If you have any doubts, Ethercycle stands behind their work and will do what it takes to help you get the most out of Facebook Advertising. Don't try to do it yourself. Also, be patient— it does take more than a month for things to be set up and optimized.

  • After listening to the Unofficial Shopify Podcast and looking at dozens of exceptional Shopify sites built by Ethercycle, it was obvious that Kurt and his team were true Shopify experts. And when I talked to Kurt on the phone about our project during the initial consultation, I knew his company would be a good fit for us. I had very limited time to work on a website so it was great to just turn the reins over to Ethercycle and let them handle all the theme setup and tweaking. Our site was nearly perfect right off the bat, with only a couple of VERY minor formatting errors, and they were extremely responsive and fixed those immediately after I pointed them out. Couldn't be happier with our website and looking forward to working with Ethercycle in continuing to build our business!

  • We've worked with the Ethercycle team on a couple of projects now and have been completely blown away, not just by their developments skills, which are top-notch, but also the speed and professionalism with which they work.

    We've thrown what we thought to be pretty complex projects their way - including building a custom crowd-funding platform, hosted on our site - and each time they've hit it out of the park.

    As a design company, we tend to be a pretty tough client to work with. We nitpick all the details and won't stop revising till everything is "just right". It leads to nice results but it also can lead to strained relationships with service providers who have to deal with us on development projects. Besides executing all of our designs perfectly, they were so gracious along the way, never complaining or pushing back, even as we sent them all of our iterative tweaks and requests.

    I wouldn't take the time to write a review like this for any old vendor. These guys are special. I want to do whatever I can to help them succeed simply because I feel they've already done the same for us on all of our projects and that's above and beyond what they technically "had to" do.

  • After working with the Ethercycle team for about two and a half years, and seeing incredible results both in return on our investment and quality work - we knew they would knock it out of the park on our latest venture. MONTA and Everest (our companies and brands) are in the luxury products business and have grown over 800% with ethercycle as our only web development firm. They already understood the marketplace we needed to compete in and we knew that a custom theme was truly the only option.

    They quickly organized our thoughts on to an electronic story board. After really nailing our expectations on the creative side they quickly developed the site and within less then thirty days we had our site fully up and functioning. After some additional guidance we are confident to enter the super competitive landscape of the luxury watch market with a real expert at our side. If you are on the fence, get off it and go with Ethercycle. They are the only choice we have ever found to have the knowledge, expertise and speed we require to work in the ever changing landscape of online sales.

    PS - we have used a ton of web developers in our tenure. Ethercycle is the best by far. period.

  • When I re-branded my product, I knew I needed to have a much more SEO-friendly site that matched my new packaging & branding. To achieve that, I hired Kurt at Ethercycle, who was extremely helpful and asked the right questions in regards to what I wanted, what I was looking for in a site, etc. He provided expert insight as it related to SEO, length of page, font pairings, positioning of elements (video, pictures, etc) and even potential apps. He designed an amazing site that met all of my needs - and was extremely patient and responsive to my edits. As a result, I LOVE the new site! He was able to bring my vision to life! It represents the new brand so well! It was a pleasure working with Kurt, and I would absolutely recommend him and his team!"

  • Before hiring Ethercycle to take care of my theme setup, my biggest concern was not having the time to explain in detail what I wanted.

    Kurt is a great guy. He took my benchmarks and ideas, plus a lot of his own ideas, and came up with a beautiful website that surpassed what I hoped for. I'm ecstatic. I find myself looking at my site just because of how happy I am with it.

    I liked most that he was able to start with my idea and run with it beyond what I could have imagined. As a result, our conversion rates immediately improved.

    If you've ever wanted a professional looking website that matches your vision, Kurt and the Ethercycle team is the way to go.

  • Before buying working with Ethercycle, my biggest concern was time. I needed to transfer my online store to a new platform in less than a month. I knew I wanted to use Shopify, but I also knew I didn't have the time or expertise to make the transfer on my own in that short amount of time. Kurt and the folks at Ethercycle took care of everything for me. I just provided some direction and a few files, and they took care of all the rest. They got the job done in just a few weeks and I didn't have to think about it all during that time. Saved me time and bandwidth! I loved that that they took care of EVERYTHING. I didn't have to keep checking in on them or telling them they did something wrong. They just got the job done. I'd recommend Ethercycle for the business owner who already has too much on their plate. Sure, creating a Shopify store is something you could do yourself, but you'd spend days messing around with things to get them just the way you want them. Save yourself the time, bandwidth, and hassle by having the pros at Ethercycle do that for you.

  • When I got in to ecommerce, I started with a store on another platform I put together myself but was never happy with the design, features, or performance. Once I decided to move to Shopify, I looked for a local expert and after talking to Kurt, decided to give Ethercycle a try. They were enthusiastic about my products and knowledgeable about ecommerce. Once I sent them my products, Kurt went to work on photographing them in a spectacular fashion, and setting up a store based on my brand. Once setup, we work collaboratively to complete my revisions. The result has exceeded my expectations, and I'm looking forward to future wins with Ethercycle.

  • After a very successful redesign of our website and a clear increase in conversion by using Ethercycle we decided to go a new direction on our B2B sales with them. Our issue was that we were using our retail site to also process our B2B sales which was both confusing for our sales team and our clients. Plus, the retailers that sell our straps did not have an easy and quick solution to purchase items after our business hours or if they were in a rush.

    Ethercycle created a simple, clear, and concise secure retailer environment for our sales team to use as a CSR system and to boot our retail clients have 24 hour access to easily purchase a single item or 20 whenever. Additionally, we started using a simple email campaign to our retailer and it has dramatically helped increase the sales performance. To be honest our ROI with this simple platform addition has been around 15 times what we invested in it.

    If you are looking for a retailer/wholesale solution do not waste your time trying to add an app, have the staff at Ethercycle apply their Shopify solution. We have been delighted with the results and our clients absolutely love it.

  • Working with Ethercycle was a very gratifying experience! The thing I loved most about working with Kurt was that he listened to my needs and gave me an honest approach on how to optimize my website and business. He advised me against spending money on things I didn't need even though he could've made more money from charging me for those services. In this day and age that is a rarity and I couldn't be more thankful! He completed his work in a timely manner and the communication was great. He always answered my questions and took the time to explain things to me that were more complex. I would highly recommend Kurt Elster & Ethercycle to anyone who wants to improve their Shopify platform and attract more customers. Thanks again Kurt!

He helped me start up my online boutique from having nothing done to getting my first sale within a month! This guy is truly the best, and very knowledgeable. I reached out to him all time, and I am sure he was rolling his eyes at me half the time but he never made me feel bad about it and he tried to answer all my questions with patience! I know my store would not be up and running without him today. Thank you Kurt, truly, thank you. If anyone is debating on whether or not to use Ethercycle...Dont debate. Just do it. You will not regret it. Julie

  • Ethercycle was fantastic. We had one phone call to get introduced and for me to explain the high level needs of the project, and from there everything was handled via email, which is my preferred method since I'm juggling the day-to-day of my business. The outcomes were great - they worked efficiently, listened intently, and communicated clearly. They also made some solid recommendations based on best practices, which gave me confidence in their ability, and also made my site better. In addition to that, they were fast, fast, fast. Would certainly work with them again, and would gladly recommend.

  • Excellent work from the guys at Ethercycle. Kurt was a pleasure to work with and dealt with all of my issues promptly and had me up and running with the tweaks I needed done within 10 days of our initial meeting! Don't look to anyone else...these guys are great!

  • Kurt and his team are a fantastic bunch of folks — always willing to meet you where you need to be AND go above and beyond, utilizing their past experience optimizing storefronts to make the best of your project.

  • Kurt was awesome! He has solutions for any budget which was refreshing considering the other companies on here seem to target a specific price. He had my new design / site up and running in less than 1 week! He's a true expert at what he does. Regardless of your budget or your web design skills I STRONGLY recommend contacting Kurt to get a quote. Before you spend thousands of dollars you need to talk to Kurt at Ethercycle first.

    I will hire Kurt / Ethercycle for all future shopify design projects. Contact him now, you won't be disappointed!

    Thanks,

  • Ethercycle was fast, professional and thorough. They also were very helpful and customer service oriented. There were certain things that instead of charging me for, they showed me how to do myself and saved me money. This focus on customer service rather than compensation is rare!

Kurt always responds quickly to my emails and solves any web page needs promptly, in my business this is very important! I consider Ethercycle a part of MyCaseGenie.com's team. Thank you for your Services!

  • After doing some research we decided to go with Ethercycle in re-designing our web site into a shopify eCommerce site. They took our non-functioning web site longstem.com and transformed it into a slick, easy to navigate and use site. They were responsive and knowledgeable throughout the surprisingly fast process. We are now up and running and couldn't be happier. With so many choices out there you just never know, our decision to contract Kurt and Ethercycle was the right one. Highly recommend.

  • Ethercycle was great to work with. They did a lot of customization to my site to give it more of a polished feel. They were able to give me more areas on the site where I could include more content or special items. Since these changes have been in effect people have been clicking on them. This allows me to show potential customers content they may not have seen otherwise and keeps them on the site longer.

    I was very impressed with how quickly everything was done and if there were any glitches they were fixed immediately.

    I highly recommend them.

  • My experience working with Kurt at Ethercycle was great. I explained what I wanted to modify on my theme and he quickly quoted me a price we agreed on. When the job was done I was charged less then the quote because the work took less time then estimated. Honesty and quality like that are hard to find. Hope to work with Ethercycle again in the future.

  • Kurt was knowledgeable and service-oriented from the start. He was very accommodating of our design requests throughout the process which was key to us. Most importantly, before the changes Kurt made, 6% of our visitors added items to their cart and 1.3% purchased. Almost immediately these statistics improved and now we are at 9.6% of visitors adding items to their cart and 2.5% purchasing. Kurt is the best.

  • I contacted Ethercycle because I didn’t have the time or experience to get my Shopify store looking as polished as I wanted it to. After talking to Kurt on the phone, I bought his Website Rescues which got my store looking finished and professional. Weeks after we’d finished, when I had new ideas for the site, he did them at no cost. 5/5 would recommend :)

  • I sent a question to Kurt, he responded within 10 minutes. After he gave me a estimate he had my issue fixed within a hour in a half. Very, very satisfied. I totally recommend him for anyone having issues with their shop. -Mike Gholson (walldecalhq.com)

  • During the last few months our website was not growing and our sales were flat lined. We came to Ethercycle to increase conversion and to increase traffic. Kurt, Paul and Dave all seemed confident and full of good ideas. They seemed to pinpoint a lot small issues that were minor for them to fix but for me seemed overwhelming.

    First, they started by making our site run faster and fixed all the "minor" errors that were making the site look fake and cheap within 7 days. This almost overnight doubled our conversion. Within three weeks our investment was paid back. Second, they introduced us to a grouping of low cost online marketing that increased our traffic by three times. With the increase in traffic and better conversion our sales have grown by six times since meeting Ethercycle.

    Do not waist your time and money with others, go with Ethercycle and see your sales increase.

  • Kurt, Paul & their team designed my website after going to 3 different web design firms. They not only covered all the basis that the other firms charged me triple for my results exceeded 10X'S what the other firms were able to do combined! With regards to sales, marketing, generating leads, etc... Would highly recommend Ethercycle!

  • This was my first time hiring an outside developer, I am VERY pleased with the quality of the work Kurt and his Team did for me, so much so that I for sure am planning on having them help me with more things. His communication was PROMPT and VERY GOOD, and he was very responsive and open to me feedback in order to accomplish things that was I wanted them to look.

    Overall, I highly recommend Ethercycle, and as I said, I will work with them more. If you want to see what they did, they coded the ability for me to Embed a YOUTUBE video on my Slideshow that is part of the REACT THEME, which is functionality that was not there. Take a look at www.buiced.com and you can see for yourself. They also enabled the URL for each Slider to Open in a New Window.

  • Kurt was awesome...talked me off the ledge a few times and delivered as promised. I look forward to using Kurt again. He took my website from an amateurish attempt, to a polished and completed look. What I appreciated the most was the scope of work he created at the "beginning" of the project, so I knew what to expect...and he did deliver. Thanks Kurt

  • The staff at Ethercycle has been excellent to work with. First, we had a lot of SEO issues that were causing a competitor to rank higher then us on google, yahoo, bing, etc. Second, our site lacked a "put together" look that we wanted to present. Third, our images were great looking but were simply to big and causing us to have slow load times and our bounce rate was high because of it. After Kurt and his team organized a very large list of items, they quickly went to work on fixing those issues and many more. They were affordable, great to work with and quite frankly nice. I have had to become knowledgeable about online e-commerce but still needed help from the team at ethercycle - they didn't talk down to me or talk over me (everyone hates that). Instead they mapped a great plan for our website's success and I intend to use them to keep helping us sell more product. Thanks from Everest Horology Products!! ( www.everestbands.com)

  • Working with Ethercycle has been a great experience. They're straightforward to collaborate with, and provided excellent support throughout development and after launch. We entered the project with the goal of re-vamping the design of our site to improve mobile and tablet conversion rates to increase overall revenue per month. Ethercycle was completely aligned with our goals and priorities and the results are a reflection of that. Since launching our new site we’ve had the following metrics improve:

    Mobile Conversion Rate

    Tablet Conversion Rate

    Bounce Rate

    Revenue Per Month

    I'm looking forward to future wins with Ethercycle!

Their efforts doubled our already good conversion rate and helped us grow our mailing list by over 50%. More importantly, we have established a new partner to help continue to expand and improve throughout the year.”

From a complete revamp of our site, to daily/weekly maintenance & upgrades, Ethercycle has been a pivotal piece of our planning & implementation. I'm confident they will continue to play a vital role in our success for years to come.

For anyone looking to take their Shopify store to the next level, I would certainly recommend the Ethercycle team.”

"Our website had been performing well, but we had a few bottlenecks we wanted to improve. Knowing Kurt and his expertise from guesting on his podcast, I came to him and his team with some of our own customer service concerns, hoping to find a solution.

Together, we came up with some great solutions to alleviate our concerns, freeing us from customer service and allowing us to focus on running and growing the business.

It’s been great to outsource theme development to a team that really knows what they’re doing. It’s an investment in our freedom. I’d absolutely recommend Kurt and the Ethercycle team."

“We were struggling with that, because if all we did was put socks up, the customer isn’t connecting with our social mission. But if we tell you too much about the social mission, then we get in the way of the socks.

I had been listening to Kurt’s Unofficial Shopify Podcast, which has been probably the best single source of information and guidance we’ve received for building our business. I could tell that Ethercycle would not only have the technical skillset to help us, but also fit with our company’s culture. It was clear we had mutual values, treating customers well, focusing on your customers, personalizing things, and having a story to tell.”

“Ethercycle had a detailed plan based around what our goals were for the timeline, and they helped us space it out and break it into pieces that were manageable for us so it wasn’t overwhelming.

They were great at making suggestions for things we hadn’t even thought of, which is exactly what you’re looking for when you hire a professional. Their suggestions on how to keep customers engaged on the website and where to position certain elements were impressive. They had data to back it up, and it proved to be true for us as well.”
