Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

We use BigCommerce to run our main source of business - our website. We make and sell jewellery supplies.
  • Easy to have a professional looking website without being technically savvy.
  • If you need help, they are just a phone call away.
  • Their website is very easy to use.
  • Our website has been "successful" enough that they just TRIPLED my expenses... A jump from $89 - to $249US/month which is VERY frustrating for a small business owner.
  • We purchased a new theme - it's not working right and no one can seem to help fix it. This should be matter of a refund and a new option for free... It's not the customers fault that the theme can't seem to size images correctly.
  • Support phone calls can be VERY time consuming - but their staff is always friendly and helpful.
  • My website looks professional and my customers have positive things to say about it.
I don't use this feature
BigCommerce is MUCH better than Volusion was. Better website, better service, better staff, better experience.
Because of the price increase my company has recently endured I wouldn't recommend BigCommerce and I am looking at other options.
