What our clients say
We’ve been working with Ryan from Smith Technology on the Tyre General website, and his technical expertise has been exceptional. He’s played a major role in developing and streamlining our product pages, transforming thousands of variable tyre listings into a structured, user-friendly, and high-performing format.
Ryan handled everything from cleansing and organising large product data sets to building dynamic templates that automatically pull through specifications, imagery, and key SEO elements. He’s also optimised back-end code and improved page load speeds, ensuring our customers can easily browse by vehicle type, brand, or category. Beyond the front-end experience, Ryan built custom forms and automated data workflows that make updating and managing our catalogue incredibly efficient. His ability to combine technical precision with a strong understanding of our business needs has been invaluable.
Highly recommend Ryan, Lara and the Smith Technology team, they’ve made a complex project feel seamless and delivered results that genuinely elevate our online presence.
Ryan and Smith Technology Group were a key strategic partner in my e-commerce business. Ryan’s methodical approach allowed us to develop our Shopify site without relying on costly ongoing apps or subscriptions. This delivered meaningful improvements to our automations, customer journey, and internal systems.
He takes the time to genuinely understand business needs and consistently delivers solutions that exceed expectations. A strong consulting partner for any e-commerce business, offering effective, scalable solutions at a cost-efficient price point — ultimately driving stronger profitability.
Smith Technology Group provided outstanding support for our recent digital transition. They managed a complex DNS migration, built custom Squarespace sites aligned with our B2B requirements, and stepped in quickly when our email system went offline. Ryan’s communication, responsiveness, and attention to detail were exceptional, and the service delivered was excellent value. Highly recommended.
