They wouldn't even acknowledge that a 67 second refresh time was a bad thing. The server they had us on was not compatible with our site's back-end. The onus for this debacle sits on my shoulders. In life you live and you learn. If and when we ever have a similar change it will be handled a lot differently.  The reason we picked the developer was because of recommendations from friends who didn't have anything to do with E Commerce and an active website like ours.
>   Upon the launch we experienced a myriad of issues. The graphics were messed up. The server was the wrong one resulting in a slow response time and page refresh. The searches were messed up, the inventory was messed up, the check out system was all messed up.
>  All in all a complete mess. I can't even begin to tell you the stress this caused us.
>  So to update you. Anna was forced to fire the original people and hire a new company. This week is showing significant improvement and we continue to work the remaining issues. I think it's getting there.
>  I'd ask you to let me know your thoughts going forward. Please feel free to add constructive criticism and advise. We strive to improve and service our customers in a professional and courteous manner. 
>  Anna and I have owned the companies since Jan 1st of this year. Prior to that we ran the shipping handling and customer service for 18 months. The first 6 months of ownership have been a roller coaster ride but what new company doesn't experience some high's and lows. To date we are making strides and growing at a fairly rapid rate. So the signs are good.

>  Today and tomorrow we are running 5% sale. It's kind of a come see us now offer.
>  Take care and I hope you all have a very nice day.
