We have recently 'renovated' our entire Website. The team have done an amazing job throughout, we love every aspect from the visual aesthetics to functionality. A special thank you to Ben from the FED Implementations Team who has been a constant presence, a helping hand and gone that extra mile to assist us with learning new ways to develop the website ourselves by breaking down his process and adding supportive notes for us to refer back to. Thank you, we would highly recommend Visualsoft and their team!
Ben from the FED Implementations Team was really helpful in helping me set up iframes! Quick responses and demonstrated & clearly explained how to set it all up which made the process super easy! Thanks for your help Ben :)
We had an idea for our website, where the product would follow the customer as they scrolled down the website. We asked the VS support team if this idea was a possibility and Ben from the FED Implementations Team gave us a few ideas of his own to help us. VS have now implemented this across many of our products and it looks much better.
Thank you.
Have been with Visualsoft for a number of years now and there support is excellent. Always happy to help. Ben from the FED Implementations Team was very quick in helping me with my request and sorting out my issue in now time.Thanks for your help Ben.
We have been with Visualsoft for many years now. We faced a few challenges recently and Ben from the FED Implementations Team has made this all very straightforward and gone out of his way to ensure the best solution for us everytime. The team as a whole always do their utmost to help in any way they can and we really appreciate all the work they do to support us and out business!
Well absolutely fantastic, from submitting the ticket to completion was done in a very short period of time (same day within the hour), I wish I had gone down the support route to start with. Ben from the FED Implementations Team has been absolutely brilliant in resolving my request. A huge thank you Ben.
Really poor service from start to present! We were sold an unbelievable dream by Phil (who left VS two months after we signed up)
Our website did not go live until a year after the agreed date, all the while we were paying the £1500 per month management fee! The website then went live and the Google Adword/Merchant accounts were set up incorrectly! We lost over £30k in sales in this time! Since we have been live we have had no help, assistance, guidance on how to improve our sales performance, best practices on our website etc. To be totally honest we are in a worse position than we were with our previous website and we still have 7 months left of a two year contract which has already cost us over £30k, do not waste your money with VS you get little or no support, our account manager is Jonny and he only ever comes back to us if we contact him, he also cannot do anything unless he has spoken to his manager Paul! The only person we have any good results from is Sasha in the PPC team..
Regrettably even though we are still with Visualsoft and reading the awful reviews that have been published on here, I can sympathise with most businesses that have had a negative experience and would also advise every new business to think twice before signing on a contract with VS.
Work is incredibly slow, plenty of false promises prior to signing contract, refusing to take responsibility, poor complaint resolution procedure, low employee retention rate indicating a poor/toxic working environment and very very expensive for the overall product/service is received in return.
I have made several complaints and our voice has not been heard and this is us paying over £3000 a month.
Save yourselves the hassle and painstaking conversations of never ending problems and poor value for money.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
We have been a customer of Visualsoft for a number of years and find the IT support to be helpful, informative and responsive. They are supportive to explain technical issues to the non-technical but will equally undertake aesthetic changes to website design without fuss which is what Ben from the FED Implementations Team did recently for our recent new website where we had a change of heart with regard to colours.
We have been partnered by Visualsoft for over five years and moved to their Shared Success programme in 2019. They are a first rate service provider with excellent designers and a well-developed platform. Our account manager is highly professional and has a great grasp of our business. Similarly the PPC team is delivering outstanding results. If you want a cutting-edge website, Visualsoft gets an unequivocal endorsement.
Good morning John,
I hope you are well! Thank you for leaving such lovely feedback, we really appreciate it.
I'm delighted to hear about your experiences with Visualsoft and the results you have achieved.
Many thanks,

Leigh Davison from Tech Support at Visualsoft worked on a ticket for me to improve our product page layout. He quickly made the changes we requested and then proactively approached me with further recommendations to improve the pages more. While on the phone to me he made changes in real time so I could easily and quickly see how the page could look.
He was very helpful, proactive and his recommendations have now been implemented onto our pages and they are much better for them. Thanks Leigh!
After a slow start, these guys have really upped their game and are now providing an excellent service.
The support we get from Kevin Richardson is exemplary - he really cares about our business and goes out of his way to help us on our e-commerce journey.
Good morning Finlay,
I hope you are well! I'm really happy to hear about the fantastic experience you have had with Kevin and the service provided by Visualsoft.
I'll be sure to pass on your comments to him, we really appreciate your feedback!
Many thanks,

After trying a few other web companies I believe I'm now settled with Visualsoft. They are certainly not the cheapest way of operating your ecommerce but like with anything, you get out what you put in. My business had increased by nearly 500% since moving to them and Carla my account strategist is always pushing for new ways to increase our revenue and performance.
Good morning Martin,
I hope you are well! Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback, I'm really happy to hear about your business growth since moving to Visualsoft and the quality service you have received from Carla!
I will be sure to pass your comments on to her.
Many thanks,

They have quite an attractive back office system but could do with it being more functional and accessible. Apart from product addition and sales processing there is very little can be done to the site. Anything more in depth, like SEO actions or error solving has to be put on a "ticket" which can take up to 2 months to be resolved; if ever.
Would definitely not recommend them, they seem to be all talk, far better to get a Magento based site, at least you can go straight to a developer for any work you need done rather than going through 10 layers of bureaucracy to get to an answering machine!
I don't know where to start.
The horrible and super expensive customer service?
The terrible arrogance of the directors?
The revolting website they built us?
The time it took (3 times as much as quoted)
The fact they want a bucket of money to fix things they themselves got wrong?
The abhorrent lock in contract?
The sleazy sales tactics (the SEO one is the best. You get zero for your money)?
Also, take a good look at the latest reviews and how a lot of them are on the same day. Why? Visualsoft writes them or rewards their small circle of customer friends to write them. This was confirmed to me by an ex employee there.
The list goes on but I will leave you with final thoughts:
DO. NOT. TOUCH.

I appreciate Leigh's time and help making the finance options available on our admin.
It was very helpful and makes perfect sense with the new changes he has implemented.
Thank you once again!

Our business has received outstanding levels of service from account manager Kevin Richardson. VS obviously offer a great product but that's only good as the people looking after you after the initial sale
Good morning David,

Friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. Leigh made sure he fulfilled my enquiry by talking me through the processes I needed to integrate on my site, step by step. Checking every change as we went along, to make sure there were no errors. He not only solved my tech problem but helped bring a payment solution into fruition. Making everything seem easy. Thank you for curing my headache Leigh!
Really pleased with the marketing teams efforts and how each team is easily reachable whenever we need assistance. We've recently started selling on other channels (eBay) which the Multichannel team and Chris have been very helpful with - Always pleasant and great at what they do.
Thanks,
Visualsoft are a really good website platform. It's versatile and once you understand how they operate it works a as good relationship. We're on the shared success platform and that comes with some good benefits like being able to add items from the visual feature store without large extra costs.
We do lots of small tweaks to our site on a regular basis too, and the content page builders are really good and have lots of easy to use features that help us build pages without having to pay for custom development.
We consistently get great support from the support team too, especially Ben and others!

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
