Lightyear built and designed our site from scratch. Steven is extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with. He has a common-sense approach to a project which is extremely important for SME's who do not have unlimited budgets. Steven is helpful, adaptable and can use his own initiative to uncover problems that you may have overlooked. He's always on hand for a phone call and is great at explaining things without any jargon! We enjoy working with him and continue to do so on a regular basis. We would highly recommend Steven to anyone looking to take their business to another level.

“Having no previous experience in setting up or running an e-Commerce site, Steven has been an absolute God send for us at Absolute Nutrition. With no clear vision of my own, Steven met with me over a period of time to get a sense of our personalities and what we do before work began on our site. He pulled together all the ideas we had in our heads and creatively came up with the design for our site, which we couldn't have done better ourselves. It gets us, our story and our brand across perfectly. The initial proposal was easy to understand and Steven's training and guidance has been thorough and easier than I expected. To be honest I had always felt 'daunted' about opening up an online store but with Steven's support and training I now run and manage my own e-Commerce site. Our online presence has given us an extra dimension to our retail offering where we can reach a wider consumer market than ever before. I would highly recommend Steven, he is a pleasure to work with.”

Our company has been growing extremely quickly and we needed to adapt fast as our processes needed to grow with us. We decided to go with the Shopify platform in order to help us scale the business effectively. Steven and the team in Lightyear effectively saved the business as we launched the website in mid November of 2020 and that first Christmas saw order volumes go through the roof and we would not have been able to continue trading had we not had the updated and scaled up website. Steven has done a lot of customisations to the theme and backend processes (eg packing slips, corporate orders sections, personal note templates etc) for us and Lightyear are still doing ongoing work with us. We will continue to work with the team and we hope that they can assist us in growing the company further.

I would highly recommend Lightyear. The process was made easy from start to finish. We were able to turn a clunky website built in Wordpress into a slick and refined Shopify website. The end result was accomplished very quickly and thoroughly. We had great communication and support from Steven throughout. All of our requirements were met and it was refreshing to have a dedicated and responsive professional who made the build a pleasure. I cannot rate Lightyear highly enough. Robert, PlantGift.ie

The experience with Lightyear was fantastic. When we decided to start selling merchandise to our thousands of fans we needed a team that we could trust with our worldwide brand and develop an ongoing relationship with. I am happy to say we got this and so much more with Lightyear. Steven came to us with so many ideas of how we could make this a success. We were able to sit back as they built our store along with designing our merchandise. What was really important for us was to continue working on the store after launch and Lightyear now help manage our store and its marketing too. They've come up with so many sales tips & tricks and really impressed us with their experience and knowledge of what works best. The sales have been flying, far exceeding our already lofty expectations. In summary, Steven and the team are great to work with and we would highly recommend Lightyear to anyone developing their store and need the extra marketing and technical assistance the team offer.

We really enjoyed working with Steven on creating our new Shopify store. Given that we are not very technical at all, he showed great patience with us and went out of his way to make it an enjoyable experience. He was always happy to answer any questions we had, no matter how big or small. From start to finish, he was friendly, responsive and helpful. Having worked with some other web developers in the past, we found Steven to be a cut above the rest. We would highly recommend Steven of Lightyear for any Shopify work and look forward to working with him again.

We've worked with Steven Dunne of Lightyear over the last year primarily building out our new online store. From our first meeting we knew we wanted to work with him and found Steven to be professional, responsive, creative & extremely patient with us throughout! We needed a lot of help along the way and Steven was always there to provide guidance with a smile on his face which helped to make it a fun experience for us. We're so happy with the website and finding it easy to maintain ourselves which was important to us. Thanks again Steven for a great job.

Steven Dunne from Lightyear has built two Shopify sites for me - one is an E-Commerce site and the other is predominantly information based. Working with Steven on both sites has been very easy, productive and fun! It was a completely different and enjoyable experience compared with working with other companies in the past where the client was kept at arms length during the development process with feedback only allowed via email or at eview meetings. Steven worked from my office where I was able to request tweaks and give immediate sign off for each section. This process was much faster and delivered quality websites very quickly. Steven is extremely experienced and knows Shopify inside out. He was able to achieve everything that was asked of him and more. Steven continuously adds value and is just so easy and pleasant to work with. He offers options and suggestions and gives advice that in the end creates websites that far exceed expectations. I strongly recommend Steven Dunne from Lightyear. He is simply the best there is!

I sought out Steven at Lightyear to help me set up my new Shopify POS system integrated with a new ecommerce website. I’m so pleased with the results Steven has created for me; the look, feel and function of my new site is exactly what I was looking for. Steven is so helpful and patient to work with and he knows the best ways to achieve what you need for your business. Working with Steven has been a pleasure and I look forward to continuing to do business with Lightyear in the future!
