Please do not hesitate to contact me if you should EVER need anybody to reference Solid Cactus. I am probably your biggest fan. A personal thank you to Donna Talarico — simply the best! My website RULES! P.S. I just got my first wholesale contract today. As of tomorrow morning I am no longer employed outside of my home as a waitress.

My amazing website that you guys designed gets RAVES on a daily basis!” –Adelia Galloway, DellandKimsTeeParty.com

Software as a Service Accolades
“I’m writing this letter to recognize the hard work, customer service, and professionalism of Joe Pace. I credit Joe with keeping me a happy customer with Cactus on Demand.” –Marianne Mullen, Polkadot Patch Boutique
“I just wanted to send a quick note commending the work of Dan Matriccino, who helped us get our first Yahoo! store up and running with the Solid Cactus accuRATEship and Avalara tax integration. I’ve been working with Dan over the past month or so to work out some bugs with our implementation, and his support has been invaluable. He diligently got to the bottom of the issues we experienced, and developed an enhancement that eliminated them completely. As you can imagine trying to get three different systems to work together can be complicated at times, and he always responded to my questions/emails with a great attitude! He’s truly a pleasure to work with, and has made my job much easier. He was definitely essential to the success of this project. As a result, we plan to roll out these services on our remaining Yahoo! stores, and any new stores going forward.” –Melissa, Dupont

“Solid Cactus has been our e-commerce provider since 2006. To date they have never disappointed and I could not be more pleased with our decision to use their services.

They also provide great customer service and incredibly fast response time to problematic issues…In the few instances when I paged the on-call developer in the middle of the night or on weekends, my call was returned within 5-10 minutes. This customer service and availability is what really sets them apart.
