But the expensive WordPress problems rarely start as obvious emergencies. They usually start as small gaps: an outdated plugin, a broken form notification, an untested backup, a … Read more

Orders can be sitting there in WooCommerce exactly as they should. But if the customer never receives the order confirmation, the store feels broken. If the … Read more

Magento 2 ERP Integration Failing? Here’s How I Usually Untangle the Mess

I usually hear about the ERP integration after everyone is already tired of it. Not at the beginning, when the plan still sounds clean and exciting. Not when someone is saying things like “seamless data flow” and “real-time inventory visibility” in a conference room. I usually hear about it later. Orders are missing. Inventory is … Read more

Watermelon Web Works has been incredible to work with. They are patient, understanding, and quick to answer any questions (or emergencies) you might have. After switching over to them to help re-vamp our online retail store, we hired them to build our wholesale website as well. I can't recommend them enough - Thank you team!

My previous web developer who I was very happy with retired and I was pretty sad about it because it seems now days it is hard to hire a web developer close by with a good set of skills who is interested in helping small business at reasonable prices. Then I found Watermelon and I have been very happy. They are responsive, are able to solve problems, and work at reasonable prices.

Great work and amazing service! We're a non-profit, and our priorities are always focused on maintaining the Astoria Column. We had a website built by someone else a few years ago, but without regular updating and maintenance, sections of our site were no longer functional. Joanna and the rest of the team came in and had everything working within a week and it's been smooth sailing since then!

Watermelon has been a fantastic web development partner. Through every phase of our project they have always been 100% responsive to our requests and have always provided highly knowledgeable, creative, prompt, and personable team members to work with. As a financial institution we’re always concerned about the security and maintenance or our website and Watermelon has always provided the appropriate resources in order to meet and/or exceed our compliance and security requirements. We would surely refer them to any business associates looking for a qualified WordPress web designer in the future. – Denali Federal Credit Union
Watermelon Web Works did a great job creating a custom shopping cart page for our firm. Gavynn in particular was especially helpful and responsive. We appreciated the upfront costs and the technical competency of Watermelon Web Works and would not hesitate to work with the people there again.

I cannot say enough good things about Watermelon. They are terrific communicators, highly competent coders, and really, really nice people. They were instrumental in helping us to assemble a very usable, easily maintainable website for our organization. They' have demonstrated great flexibility in accommodating our evolving needs. They have been highly responsive to any technical issues, typically resolving them in less than 4 hours. Watermelon Web Works will make your organization better, and your CFO/Treasurer will be happy when they see the bill - what more can you ask for?
