We have had a mixed level of support from Visualsoft, without doubt the support need to improve. However, the support we have received from Leigh Davison has been off the scale, this guy is on another level and a credit to Visualsoft. Matty Pearson is also another good one. These people are the reason we haven't gone elsewhere long ago. This is a great company, it needs more great people like these two guys, thank goodness they are there.
A massive thank you to Leigh. When others have struggled to understand the issue and try resolve it, all it took is one phone call to Leigh and he understood everything and sorted it out immediately. I hope he never sees this review as he could actually think that i like the guy... But thank you for resolving the issue so swiftly.
Hi Arshad,

At the time of writing this review Visualsoft have restricted the access to our website for 6 days. They have demanded the immediate payment of outstanding fees or they will be pulling the plug.
Suffice to say that the reason we have unpaid fees on our account is a combination of ineffective marketing + website abundant with problems + extortionate hosting fees.
The fact that they retain the power to restrict your access and use it as their biggest threat when it comes to demanding money from you speaks volumes for the mindset of the company.
When things go wrong just bear in mind the leverage that Visualsoft have over you.If they are capable of doing this to a client that has been with them for the best part of ten years and collectively spent over 100k, then all i can say is you have been warned.
We have worked with VisualSoft for the last five years developing our online site www.JulesB.co.uk into a major Independent Online Retailer and have been delighted with the support and success we have had. We recently have launched 4 international sites built on a fully responsive format and look forward to launch our new UK site within the next three months.
Staff at VS are always positive and proactive in developments and support enabling us to constantly update and optimise our site.
It has been a pleasure to work with VisualSoft and we look forward a long and prosperous future.
Kind regards,

Would just like to say thank you to Leigh from Triage & Telephony. We had a problem with the site and he was able to find the cause of the issue and come up with a solution in rapid time. Once the main issue was resolved he continued to work on it until a full solution was reached. He also kept in touch via phone to let us know what was happening. Much appreciated Leigh.
I am very happy with service I'm receiving from Visualsoft and especially from Account Manager Stephen Chilton who has recently helped us resolve some issues. Professional company, fantastic website design.
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted to hear that you are receiving such fantastic service. I will be sure to share your feedback with Stephen.
Thanks again

Conor Cooke recently became our eCommerce Strategist and I have noticed an immediate improvement in the service I have received. He is very proactive in contacting me with ideas and nothing is ever too much trouble. I genuinely feel he has our best interests at heart, which is very important for me from a 3rd party provider.
Our company has worked with Visualsoft for 8 years now and am very happy with the service we receive from them. Kevin our account manager has been very helpful and is always on hand for help and advise when needed
Good morning Linda,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review, we really appreciate your feedback.
I'm really happy to hear how pleased you have been with the service received from Visualsoft and Kevin - and long may our partnership continue!
Many thanks,

Slight technical issue over the weekend and throughout the Saturday and Sunday responses from Jamie were fast and helpful with nothing a problem, actually listening to what the issue was and showed a genuine interest to understand how that could be resolved. It was resolved on the Sunday morning - great service.
The support system at Visualsoft is always efficient in dealing with any changes that we wish to make to our site. We have always had a good experience with our account managers during our time with the company, and our current account manager (Stephen Chilton) is always at hand to answer any questions we have in an incredibly helpful manner.
Hi Andy,
Really great to hear you're pleased with the service you've received from our team, and your Client Relationship Manager, Stephen, in particular.
Thanks for the feedback:)
Kind regards

Thank you,

I went live with my website from visual soft last week. And I must say the whole team made it very easy and enjoyable.
I had quite a few requests as I wanted my website to stand out a lot more from other websites in my trade.
I'm totally overwhelmed with the outcome, and the whole team have been so professional and helpful, Rachel Ingram and Laura Buckell helped me every step of the way throughout the design and input of stock. We hit a few hurdles and every problem was solved very efficiently.
Jason West with his ongoing help from start has been amazing and giving me ideas I've never thought of myself hopfully for a long relationship to a very successful business.
Must say IM EXCITED!
Thankyou visual soft
If you want the best eCommerce Platform look no further than Visualsoft
We have used Visualsoft now to create and develop all of our four ecommerce websites for us and most recently bedsos.co.uk
Why do we continue to use Visualsoft?
Simply, they are the best at what they do.
The designs are bespoke to your brief and the order fulfilment system is superb to run the business on a daily basis. They have round the clock support and are always pushing the boundaries in development as the internet continues to change. This allows us to improve and develop as a company too.
We have gone from a standing start and expect to hit over £1 million turnover next year so I would just like to thank the staff at Visualsoft, thank you

We've just launched our new site TuffTogs, which is our second site with visualsoft. In a time where the country is on it's knees, working with the has been a dream. Sam Grady who was our Project Manager was on hand at all times, to oversee, chase and help get our website live on time. She was always polite and friendly and professional to work with.
Our sites are on the 'shared success' platform and once you understand the way the development of your site works and the huge amount of post launch flexibility your site has, you will really benefit.
Of course there are cheaper compnaies around, but Visualsoft really are excellent.
Good morning Nick!
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to leave such lovely feedback.
It's wonderful to hear about the experience you have had with Sam and Visualsoft - I will be sure to pass on your feedback to her this morning!
Many thanks,

They are in the process of building our website and we have no complaints so far. The service has been excellent. Our account manager Stephen Chilton has been a massive help. We couldn't ask for a better start.
Hi Ryan,
What fantastic feedback - thanks for taking the time to share this with us. We will pass your words on to Stephen and we look forward to seeing your business continue to grow online in 2019 and beyond.

I called in and spoke to Leigh from the Service Desk team and explained the problem we have regarding sales and discounts. Leigh listened to the problem, understood what we required and came up with a solution all in a short space of time.
Terrible Company with no interest in resolving serious issues for a client that has spent tens of thousands of Pounds with them.
Project over-ran by over 7 months (what was supposed to be a 3 month project so 10+ months). Very sad and lame excuses where made. 1 - Horrible lock-in contract. 2 - £60 plus VAT charge to lift a finger ( including to fix mistakes THEY have made in development. 3 - Arrogant Directors who turn their back on you and leave in the middle of a conversation as they are not happy with customers calling up to complain
3 - Don't be deceived by the nice designs they make. They are nice on the outside but they essentially charge you tens of thousands for a re-hashed version of OScommerce (open-source free shopping solution. This is why they will not shos you the back-office system before you purchase)
You have been warned.
Answer: I run a multi-million pound platform and have been in the process of migrating our site from Visualsoft to Magento for the last year. I must say this has been a nightmare from start to finish. Non of the fault lays at the door of Visualsoft however, its purely been a Magento/developer issue. We felt we needed a change of platform after 2 years of success and at the time it was right for our business to "jump on the "Magento train" since we wanted to be in complete control. Anyway after a year of turmoil we may not be moving after all. I have personally overseen many migrations in my career as a head of Ecommerce and this has been a journey to say the least. I would be more than happy for you to contact me direct should you wish for a more detailed answer..
Answer: Legit. However, it took them nearly 2 years to solve what should have been a simple issue before our website finally went live in October 2016. Have done 2 websites with them. Highly recommend NOT using a combined admin panel as that has given us nothing but issues since the second site went live 5 years ago.
Answer: At the time (2014/2015) they were one of only three platforms offers we could find that would integrate eBay, Amazon, an own website, with Paypal, Royal Mail, UPS/DHL to streamline all the processes into one. We now have a separate site on Shopify which is different and relies on Apps for various parts of integration but it does the same job
Visualsoft has a rating of 3.7 stars from 141 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Visualsoft most frequently mention fed implementations, account manager and support team. Visualsoft ranks 10th among Ecommerce Tools sites.
