"I contacted Holbi a few months ago as I was having some problems with a web-store I had purchased through a Norwegian IT firm. Holbi offered me help right away at a very reasonable price and I found the service to be truly excellent.

As I got absolutely no help from the Norwegian firm who had charged me a great deal of money for a store that was not functioning very well, I decided to move everything to Holbi and ordered a complete new store through the very safe Trueloaded system.

I was amazed at the low price for a whole new store with all the functions I needed, and true to their word, they delivered a product I am 100% satisfied with.

I will continue to work closely with Holbi and add features to my store as my business grows.

Sales have already increased by approx. 75% since making the move to Holbi."

"We wanted to upgrade our webstore radically with new outlook and features. We couldn't find anyone domestically to make this happen - seems like the task was just too difficult and time-consuming to handle. Then we decided to contact Holbi, and couldn't be happier working with them. We got all the features we wanted, and even more. Their communication is of high level, they are very flexible and happy to make all our wishes to come true. On top of all, the whole project is impressively fast and cost-effective. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a e-commerce solution!"

We have recently upgraded our webstore. It's now much more informative and easier to use! There are lots of new features, just to name a few: you no longer have to sign up as a customer to order products, the checkout process has been simplified to provide you a shopping experience as easy as possible, product images are now bigger and higher quality, you will find an estimated shipping time in product listing, and we also offer now different discounted product bundles to save money.

We welcome you to have a look at our webstore at www.soundstore.fi !

"We had been thinking about adding e-commerce to our Weyfest Music Festival website for some time, but kept putting it off due to our perception of high cost and how much resource we might need to dedicate to it. Only after we discovered Holbi and discussed our requirements did we realise how cost effective a solution based on os-commerce could really be.

We initially contacted Holbi in November 2009 and the specification was agreed within weeks. Once the contract was in place we were assigned a dedicated Project Manager who took responsibility from start to finish. After some initial questions, we were soon delivered a solution for testing and after a few iterations the project was signed off in February 2010. We were pleasantly surprised at how easy the implementation was.

Since then Holbi have been extremely responsive to our queries and have helped us through all our early teething problems. The solution is working well and we have very happy customers! I now look forward to working with Holbi on adding further features to enhance our customer experience.

I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Holbi to anyone considering a low cost e-commerce solution."

"I had been trading on eBay for 3 years and always wanted my own website to go with it, but the thought of having to keep track of seperate stock levels for both an online shop and eBay put me off. When I heard Holbi had a solution to this, by intergrating eBay with the online shop software, osCommerce, I didn't hesitate to contact them. I was so impressed with the results, I then asked Holbi if they could redesign the whole default osCommerce store I had. I was originally going to do this myself with the little kowledge I knew, but after the fantastic job they did with the eBay intergration, I knew I could trust Holbi to do the business again. Needless to say they did a brilliant job. Holbi made me an absolutely stunning design, even better then I had imagined, and it has a look of a successful website that has been running for years. I can't thank Holbi enough for the work they have done for me. I would certainly come back to Holbi if I ever needed any more work done to my store."

"We recently commissioned Holbi to restructure our website on a very tight deadline. As always, they were very responsive to our demands and have proven once again how competent they are in their field. I would have no hesitation in recommending Holbi to others once again"

"This is the second website project we relied on Holbi. They are absolutely brilliant and professional. The communication from start to end is perfect, they are always helpful and patient. The price is much more competitive compared with other website designers we've contacted and worked with before. We highly recommend Holbi without any reservation"

"I have found Holbi to be patient and flexible throughout the development of my website. During the site development another project took me away from the website. When I was able to continue with the site development, Holbi picked up where we left off seamlessly. Holbi have proved to be very knowledgeable with all aspects of website development and protocol."

It took Holbi: 2 months to implement a Multi front end (Affiliate based) solution. It took 1 day to install osCommerce SEO modules.

Customer's feedback was:

"Until we met Holbi we were running our web site off the standard free version of OS-Commerce. Although the standard platform works fine it has some bugs and limited features. Holbi moved our web site across to their Trueloaded version in March 2007 and our business has increased 5 fold since then. With Trueloaded we got many SEO features, an affiliate program, category descriptions, EasyPopulate, a voucher system, links manager, customer groups, PayPal Pro and Google Checkout plus many other refinements such as light box images in the shop front and multiple product images. Holbi have been very responsive to all our queries, particularly anything that is service affecting, and they have worked tirelessly to implement our precise requirements and bug fixes. And they don't charge the earth because of the wide range of "off the shelf" modules they have which can easily be added at any time."

From the first SEO recommendation report, right through a total site redesign and re-launch onto new servers, Holbi has guided us through with recommendations that we can trust. Our journey with Holbi has also taught us invaluable SEO knowledge that we can use to keep building our website presence. Many companies use scare-mongering to charge top bucks for their service, whilst shrouding what they do in mystery. Holbi is different – they create simple, effective solutions that don’t cost the earth and work!"

Customer's feedback was:

"Every day we are glad we asked Holbi to make a new version of our webshop. We had our shop bikesNparts.nl since 2005 and used a few software partners for it but every time it wasn't the succes we needed. Our first was for osCommerce but the Trueloaded software goes far above the default functions. The Holbi designers and developers showed us that every wish can be reality and made us a very extended version of their system.

I can reccomend Holbi to everyone who need the perfect ecommerce tool. They have the knowhow and they are very quick, nice and clear in communication."

"As with many Oscommerce stores we started out with just two people,

but as the store grew we knew we needed to outsource the development

work. Trust was the number one factor in finding someone and with

Holbi’s obvious experience with working with Oscommerce they were the

only real option.  They have quickly earned our trust and respect by

delivering high end solutions for our store, so much so we now

consider them a true member of our team.

Amazon has always been a time consuming aspect of Cuddly Kingdom, but

Holbi’s Amazon solution suggested  it could increase sales and

decrease the time it took to sell on Amazon.  The Amazon Integration

was exactly what we were looking for. They had installed and tested

solutions within a week, allowing us to start benefiting from it

before the busy Christmas period.

Amazon integration has saved us hours of labour and boosted sales by

around 30%.  The Holbi development team were available to answer our

questions and really helped with the initial start up and getting used

to the system.  It has surpassed our expectations in all areas.

There have been so many benefits to having the integrated system, we

are now looking into them doing Ebay Integration with osCommerce for us too!"

"I was looking for an OSCommerce (OSC) book for quite some time and came across Vadym’s book. Initially I was surprised the book was not technical, but I soon realized that all what I needed was covered in a very simple language, straight forward with no fluff or unnecessary repetition. Vadym’s provides useful insight, touches on various topics and provides real examples which as a whole gives you a solid perspective of how an OSC site should function.

The book is aimed for business owners, marketing managers and IT professionals who want to ensure the best ROI possible. I would highly recommend going through this book before attempting to build a new OSC site or updating an existing one.

We at Double Alpha Academy decided to work with Vadym’s team to re-build our site to take advantage of both of their expertise and the knowhow of how to make a successful site better! It was a pleasure working with Holbi, the team is always professional, responsive and helpful. I am sure we will do business again"

"Highly recommended: the Turnkey osCommerce solution!

We built a new shop from scratch, based on Holbi's TrueLoaded osCommerce version that is improved a lot. The design and functionality makes us very happy.

It was a lot of work, but Holbi took the time and understand our needs very well. We really appreciate that.

For sure, if we need something more in the future, Holbi and it's friendly staff will be first choice!"

"Holbi have done a fantastic job taking my ideas and design and translating it into beautiful thing that works, looks fantastic and is easy to navigate. The guys have also been very patient, especially when i havent understood the nature of a database or technology limitation and rather than ever telling me "its not possible", they came up with solutions that are both practical and creative.

Many, MANY thanks. Even from day 1 of relaunch i can see our customers are going love this site."

"In our search for Bibit integration for our webshop, we found Holbi. Contacting them was really a good choice. In a very professional an coöperative way they configured our shop for Bibit payments. Even when our shop appeared to have conflicting scripts installed, Holbi has proven to find solutions to fix it. With no additional cost. Fast and friendly.

In the future, we do not need to search any longer. We will definately contact the professionals of Holbi again."

"We are very happy with the result and service from Holbi. Our customers and employees are amazed how fast our osCommerce shopping cart and administration tasks is running now compared to before the application of the Speed Up service. It is a hundred times faster than before. The Smart Search is also more intuitive and has great potential to increase sale."

"I'd like to sell my oscommerce's products to Amazon Market Place, without spending a lot of time to manage both shops.

Holbi installed their connector, and now I manage these 2 shops with only one tool!

Good and fast work!"

"We have been working with Holbi since 2006 and they have now built 4 successful e-commerce web sites for us, which include a common back end and integration with our back office. We have been extremely pleased with the work they have done for us in this time, which has always been both highly professional on time and on budget. What more could you ask for? "

"Holbi have been very successful at improving our search engine capability by introducing some modules which allow us to use more targeted keywords in each area of the website and in ensuring that our site is well set up to attract the search engines. After we had a new website we lost one place ranking with Google, but Holbi worked fast and efficiently to make improvements that got us back to number 1 by 'beads' in no time."

"Wow! What you've done is amazing. We really appreciate it. It is an amazing difference and if any prospective customer of yours ever wants a testimonial just let us now. We'll leave our test site up at www.littlesunflowers.com/sandbox so if you ever want to show someone a before and after feel free to send them there. We'll set up another test directory and leave that to remind us how bad it was! Thanks again."

"Holbi's Amazon Integration for osCommerce (using SOAP) has transformed the way we handle the hugely lucrative Amazon Marketplace sales platform. Orders are automatically downloaded from Amazon, Oscommerce stock levels auto-syncronised, and shipping confirmations automatically uploaded - all via one transparent interface. We no longer need to worry about surges in Amazon sales causing stock conflicts, and our Amazon customer feedback rating has increased to 97% as a result. This means happy customers, and lots of repeat business. If you sell on Amazon, this system is an essential, especially during peak trading periods."

"We would have no hesitation in recommending holbi to others after our experience of working with them over the past few months. They have been competent, professional and extremely helpful throughout and this has resulted in a wonderfully funtional website that has truly enhanced our customers' online experience. They fully deserve the accolades afforded to them on this testimonials page and we wish them continued success in the future."

"We have been working with Holbi now for nearly 10 months, and in that time we have continually been amazed at their helpfulness and courtesy.

They have taken a mediocre, bug-ridden site and created a fully functional bespoke website for us. This new site reflects a greater level of professionalism and offers our customers a much more user-friendly experience, whilst providing us with a more sophisticated and robust back-end system.

As always with such projects, there have been software problems along the way. Holbi have simply put them right without question. Such customer service is extremely rare today, and the 'work until everything is perfect' ethos is a refreshing change!

We are particularly pleased with the improved search engine ranking the new site has, and we have no hesitation in working with Holbi in the future ... and our next development is already in mind!!"

"Thanks Holbi for all your great work in setting up our website, you guys have been great to work with and created a great looking website for us.

I would recommend Holbi to anyone looking for help creating a great website they have a very professional service."

"As an online photography equipment retailer, the site deigned by Holbi help us to improve the service to an new level. Their bespoken package fits every aspect of our requirement and they are always helpful when we need a hand. More importantly, unlike our old one which designed by another website designer, the site designed by Holbi is very easy to maintain, we have access to every page contents on the site and we can do all the modifications and update the site as we want, that is perfect! Thanks again for Holbi's excellent works, we will never hesitated to recommend Holbi to others who are looking for a great website!"

"As a small internet-based business, The Language Of... depends heavily on receiving good IT support and advice. We get this in bucket-loads from Holbi. We enjoy access to a brilliant Account Manager, who unfailingly responds to all our requests and questions, and makes sure any issues are resolved, but he also goes beyond this and pro-actively offers suggestions and advice as to how to improve our offering on our website. We are delighted with the assistance we have received from Holbi and can really recommend their service."

"Just a few words to say a big thank you for the excellent job you did modifying Web DataLink software to work with Sunshop php cart. It is now working perfectly and saving me hours of work, and at the same time eliminating typing errors and keeping the prices up to date on the site. I am thrilled with the results and I would recommend your company to anyone (except the competition)."

"I know that our client has been a bit of a fuss but I thought I would like to say how pleased I am with my Holbi's Project Manager response to the whole situation and how impressed I am with the design skills. Please thank the team for me."

"Web DataLink for Sage Line 50 has revolutionised how we operate, saving many hours of inputting and eliminating possible input errors by automating the order download process. The initial investment has been recovered many times over as we no longer have to employ an agency temp to do this job. For a small company such as ourselves, the software is invaluable. We are currently looking at utilising the software on a second e-commerce website which is currently gaining momentum - being able to synchronise orders from multiple websites is an added bonus!"

"I love working with Holbi. I make a request and it is done. They ask for my input - I checkout their modifications to the site and make suggestions - again it is done - with no hint of a compaint.

They fit my mode of working perfectly - I create ideas all the time and want instant results - Holbi deliver.

They assist me - they help me creatively - they are an essential component of Duprez UK.

If you require an e-Comerce site and want to add your own twist - I could not recommend a better or more reliable partner."

"Thank goodness for Holbi:I wish I had found them sooner! I was beginning to lose hope of ever finding a good solutions provider to my website but Holbi are out there ahead of the crowd and have quickly understood and met the needs of The Language Of..., an entirely internet-based business. Not only do they deliver, but they deliver in a timely, professional and courteous manner: quality of service matters to me and that's what Holbi offers for a reasonable fee. They've been a pleasure to deal with."

"The team at Holbi have developed a sophisticated yet functional web site for Westair Reproductions. Their understanding of my requirements and their flexibility were beyond my expectations and they offer a value for money service. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone."

"Holbi is very competent and always delivers as promised, delivering an Excellent service, Thank you. Hopefully together we will continue to develop our site."

"On average it took someone 7 mins to load an order received on our Zen cart based store to Sage accounts, with our number of orders per day increasing rapidly and our stock of adhesive tapes increasing to over 500 we needed a solution to import the orders from Zen cart to sage on the fly. That is where datalink uk stepped in with a complete solution tailored to our needs, we had the solution installed , tested and working in a matter of hours from first contact with datalink, who were the only company to respond with a solution. It has saved our company hundreds of man hours and allows us to get on with running the company. We can highly recommend this product to anyone who uses online stores and Sage accounts."

"When our client needed to integrate their online shop with Sage Line 50 we choose Web Data Link. The client install was a snap, configuration was both obvious and intuitive. The server components were installed for us. And when our client unexpectedly upgraded Sage to version 13, Holbi were ready with an upgrade to the client. Web Data Link has allowed for our client to add an online outlet to their business without the need to change or modify any of there internal sales procedures. Needless to say we're very happy with the product and the levels of support."

Absolutely the best. After experiencing some problems with other providers, this time I decided to choose a provider with a perfect feedback for my project. Holbi did not disappoint me and delivered exceptionally good work on time and on budget. I will definitely use you guys again!

We can't say enough good things about Holbi in general and about their management staff in particular, polite, responsive, excellent product. They have been incredibly patient with us whilst we collated data for the products, offered help and suggestions.. hire them.. you wont regret it!

Thanks for the great job done with Spatial Jobs Online (www.spatialjobs.com.au). We look forward to working with you and the team from Holbi on many other projects in the coming months.

Holbi was very professional and exceeded every expectation that we had for this project. They were open to suggestions and ideas, but also put forth their creative input to help us. They were patient with us as we countered back and forth to make sure this was the correct design. This was a fresh awakening after paying another web designer for the same job and receiving nothing. Holbi did an excellent job. We plan on hiring them for any and all of our future projects.

DataLink (Holbi) has carried out a number of various sized projects for my company – Lock Enterprises LTD. Some of these projects have been of a very complex manner, with many projects requiring custom built bespoke models.

One can only describe the service that I received from them as exceptional! Every single element of the project, from the planning stage to the final handover of the finished article was handled with the upmost professionalism & every query was answered in the swiftest of ways. I can sincerely state that I have never encountered such a professional & ‘true to their word’ company in my entire life of business dealings. I would strongly recommend them without hesitation to you & I can personally assure you that you will not be disappointed in any way from the services they provide to you.

We have been using Holbi for like almost 2 years. They have implemented multiple projects for us. It is certainly a consulting company that I would recommend. The charges are very reasonable. Holbi would try their best to accommodate changes without go through those change control step.

Thank you so much! We are still playing around with the new module but it

looks FANTASTIC! The inventory management portion of our cart has been

horrible for years, we can now begin to position ourselves as an online

retailer now!

Driveswarehouse was started as an eBay store in Jan.2002, then we launched our own eCommerce site www.driveswarehouse.com at the end of 2002 with the help of Holbi crew. Driveswarehouse is about to pass $1 million in sales this year (2006).

I must say Holbi is part of this growth in many ways. I met them personally first time during my trip to UK in April 2006, and I am convinced they can take us to the next level of growth.

Holbi is a good IT leader, very organized with great deal of business sense, their team respond very well, almost 24 x 7, for us it's an experience like having our own IT team in-house, without all the expenses involved.

The Holbi team developed another ecommerce site for us, which hasn't been launched due to some logistics issues with the business model. We recently agreed for Holbi to convert driveswarehouse site to ASP.NET platform.

In summary, if you are clear with your own vision for your business the team at Holbi can make it happen.

I have been (and am still) extremely happy with the work that Holbi have done for our website Dog Exclusives. I initially hired a Swedish company to do the development of the website, and it really was such a hassle - everything needed to be redone and checked over and over again, and because they turned out not to be experts on OsCommerce (as they claimed to be) the site I was left with at the end really was no good at all, for example it didn't even allow us to add new products by ourselves! I contacted the team behind Holbi to redo it, and they built a completely new site for me. It has been up and running for a year and a half now, flawlessly. I have also bit by bit asked them to change and update things as I have come to think of them, for example, add a picture gallery etc.

I have only great things to say about working with Holby. They always respond to my questions and e-mails and help me with the things I ask them to, without any delay. Sometimes I have turned to them to ask for help with other minor things, that have turned out not to have anything to do with the website but rather with my computer settings etc, and they have still been kind enough to help me with this, and not even charged for their time to do so. They really do have expert knowledge of OsCommerce and everything that is possible to do with it. I have a site now that is so good that some people in the know who I have talked to, are surprised it didn't cost me 5 times as much to develop.  

Since I am a bit picky about layout, I have had a graphic designer friend of mine help with some of the design layouts to get a unified graphical profile, and Holbi has then helped to implement these on my site, without any problems. They will work until you are 100% happy with the result. I warmly recommend them to anyone, they are very professional and skilled, as well as service minded and nice to work with. You can check out our website for reference if you like: www.dogexclusives.com.

"You have made this a very painless process, and I thank you and your team for your professionalism. I look forward to working with you all again in the future."

"Holbi have been exemplary in their service and delivery of solutions to meet our exact requirements.

They really went the extra mile to understand the needs of our ever expanding business. We are pleased that we chose Holbi to partner with for our IT requirements."

"Your service was great, and I thank you for your service. I will defiantly ask for your assistance in the near future."

"Everthing looks terrific!! I can't thank you enough for getting this up and running as fast as you did - I just wish I would have contacted you six weeks ago! Tell your developers they did a great job. "

"Holbi LLP are one of the most professional and responsive consultants that we have ever used. They communicated with us extremely well and did a fantastic job. They were on time, and even helped with things outside their scope to ease our transition. We would use them again and again. We have found them better to use that consultants in our country that we have dealt with face to face. Thank you for an extremely professional and terrific job! "

"This small box cannot fit all of the things we can say about team of Holbi. Our business was growing so fast that our old website was no longer viable so we had to revamp it. After almost five months of no income, a delayed website opening, firing four different developers and having the worst web development we've had, we found them. We found this crew of professionals. All of our requests were understood and completed the first time around. No hassles, no questions, and no jerking off. When we were unsure of certain things, they gave us more than enough suggestions to put us on the right path. They understood our needs and wants even we we did not understand it ourselves. Since our business has been up and running, we have done nothing but refer everyone we know, including our customers, and business partners to them for Ecommerce work. Thank you! You have saved our business from failing and we are forever indebted to you. "
