Site Sell's Support goes to the Top

(London, England)

I hope that it is Okay to rave about the customer ‘love’ of this company Erwin, because you have already done so on your ebusiness best practice page.

That company is Site Sell. I could rave on and on about their main product, Site Build It! (SBI), I love it, but I will stick to their customer service, which I also love.

Site Build It! is web site building software that takes care of all the technical stuff and so allows you to get on with the job of building your business. It's a very comprehensive tool which I find to be very reliable, but even Rolls Royces go wrong sometimes.

A few years back I ran into a problem when trying to build a page. I didn’t think that it was anything that I was doing, or failing to do, so I emailed Site Sell support. I received a timely reply asking for a few more details. And then a couple of hours later a further reply from the support staff saying that they were unable to reproduce the problem so they have passed it over to one of their programmers.

I think that it was the very next day I found an email in my inbox from the programmer, he hadn’t been able to reproduce the problem either. He suggested a few things that I might try and asked me to try building another page. No, the problem was still there. And then out of the blue . . .

. . . a transatlantic phone call from Dr. Ken Evoy the CEO of Site Sell, he was very keen to get my problem sorted. And so it was. It turned out that it had been a small bug that had been affecting me and one other customer, which is why they had difficulty reproducing the problem.

Now I don’t expect the attention of the CEO for every little problem but it does show that Ken Evoy and his team does care about their customers, there are plenty of other things about the way Site Sell operates that also shows me that.

Site Sell = Customer Love :-)

SiteSell does OverDeliver!
by: Anonymous

I had a situation recently in which SiteSell support really came through for me. I cannot give precise details because I was asked not to make them public. Basically I had done something very stupid as a direct result of not paying attention to the material SBI sent me. The info was there loud and clear, I just didn't see it. The mistake cost me a lot to reverse, and because of this I wasn't going to renew my SBI site when it expired. I just wouldn't have enough money left after the cost of fixing my own stupid. In desperation I threw myself on the mercy of SBI support and begged for help. The first time my plea was rejected. I responded to the rejection not by getting angry but by saying I understood why they couldn't help, I knew it was my own stupid fault, and I very much regretted that SBI didn't work for me and I couldn't afford to renew. Support then escalated the situation to a supervisor who was able to make the decision to save me from my own stupid. I am happy to now be able to renew my SBI and feel like it's a small price to pay for a company that goes the extra mile when one of its customers has been an idiot and doesn't deserve a second chance - SBI gave me that chance anyway and I will be a customer for life even if I have to sell my organs to afford renewal!

SiteSell's support is second to none
by: Marcus

Having used SiteSell's Site Build It package to build a couple of sites I have to commend them on their customer support. Each time I've used Support I've had an instant email reply and a real person working with me until the problem was resolved. Far from the norm nowadays and just one aspect of a company that really knows how to provide a superb customer experience.

I agree sitesell support = fab
by: Tobias

Just wanted to chip in that I've also had a good experience with SiteSell support. I had a bug with nav-bar displaying incorrectly, and they sorted it out within 24 hrs. Plus they were polite and friendly. I was impressed. (I didn't get a personal phone-call from Ken Evoy though)

Hi Larry!


Naturally you may rave on whatever company you want. I always like to reward good customer service, but rants are still 3 to 1 over raves...


(So anyone who'se willing to tilt that statistic towards good customer service, please go to Good Customer Service Stories and add your rave!)

Thanks for this!
