About Us Here's how RES eCom, Inc. got started. Hi, I'm Rick! After a short career as a Manufacturing Engineer in the Aerospace Machining industry my life changed dramatically with a spinal cord injury, and I was forced to change careers. The business RES eCom, Inc. was founded in 1999 by myself. I have two Bachelor Degrees; one in Mechanical Engineering and one in Information Technology. In the fall of 1999 I paid a local website development company $100/hour to build the initial vision of the PIECES OF VERMONT® website, and $12,000 later it was junk! The developers, as skilled as they were at website coding, missed something crucial - a website needs to be functional AND marketable. I was nickel & dimed to the point where I finally decided it was time to learn how to code the website myself, and the rest is as they say, history.
My specific expertise is developing Ecommerce websites that utilize Miva Merchant and SquirrelCart shopping carts, with Authorize.net Payment Gateway credit card processing. No man is an island though, so over the past decade I've also established relationships with other experts in the web design and hosting fields. I sleep well at night knowing that if I don't have the answer, I know someone who does, and that also puts my clients' minds at ease. Since 2000 my efforts have helped take the wizardry out of selling online so that my clients can generate real online orders while they focus on their offline businesses. That's a great feeling. |
Lots of companies create websites, but I do much more, I ensure results long after the initial build. |
