Slamdot Buzz and Testimonials

Here's what other people are saying about us. Our ears are constantly ringing :)

• Offline Website Sales from Slamdot

  "Customers walk in, a sales staffer helps them select an appropriate package, then they check out in the time-honored retail store fashion."

  — Rose Kennedy, Metro Pulse

• Selling Web Hosting and Design at Retail

  "This is the type of new, innovative, out-of-the-box idea I really like to see, and I wish them the best of luck."

  — Mitch Keeler, Web Hosting Show

• Slamdot to Sell Design and Web Hosting at Retail

  "The Slamdot store – a project that might fare better in the current era of Apple Stores, Nike Stores and various other product-branded storefronts – is an effort to bring web site design to customers in a traditional buying environment they'll find familiar."

  — Liam Eagle, Web Hosting Industry News

• Web design firm opens store

  "While downtown Knoxville window-shoppers can peruse everything from natural-fiber clothing to gourmet ice cream, it's less common for an Internet business to lean on a retail storefront to help attract customers. Slamdot, though, is hoping to de-mystify the process for customers who may be intimidated by the thought of hiring a Web designer - and to make it easier for clients to get tech support for their sites."

  — Josh Flory, Knoxville News Sentinel

• Chamber honors Pinnacle businesses

  "Sean Christman, president and founder of Slamdot Inc., an innovative Web-hosting and development company, earned the Young Entrepreneur Award, which honors a professional age 40 or younger who is on track to be a top business and community leader."

  — Knoxville News Sentinel

• Visionary Horizons Wealth Management Group

  "I want to take a moment and recognize the entire Slamdot team for hosting our website. You have done a remarkably wonderful job. First, the transition project was the easiest, smoothest and least troublesome project I have ever worked on. Secondly and most importantly, in the short 2 weeks since our new website was launched, Visionary Horizons has skyrocketed on the search engines from being not found to be on page 2 of Google and page 1 of Yahoo."
  
  "Slamdot is fantastic, worth working with, and has earned a well deserved recommendation from us."

  — Andrew J. Polyak

• 101 Innovative Ruby on Rails Web Apps

  "Makes web hosting easy. Allows you to manage your website, domain registration, billing details, and support all in one place."

  — Kim Roach, ZanyPixel

• Harrington: Slamdot integrates functions

  "What makes Slamdot unique is a proprietary Web hosting control panel which integrates billing, support, hosting and domain name management into a single tool requiring just one username and password."

  — Carly Harrington, Knoxville News Sentinel

• Marian Moss Enterprises

  "Suuuhweet! Thank you again. I can't tell you how awesome it is to have found a host run by cool humans rather than a bunch of FAQs! I'll definitely be transferring my other (simpler!) sites to Slamdot as soon as I get acclimated."
  
  "I have been looking for a simpler host for a while... I have used local folks, 1&1, godaddy, etc. and was tired of having a backend with 55 buttons that you could never find your way around. I don't do much web work—I am only good enough to be dangerous, so I searched for simple web hosting. Found a bunch of people claiming to be simple and they were the same old cPanel backends... then searched blogs and found someone recommending you. Your site sold me on it pretty much immediately... I could tell you guys actually spent time making it EASY!"

  — Stephen Grassie

• Slamdot.com: Making the Web Friendlier

  "You can do so much, and so easily, with Slamdot's control panel that I simply couldn't include everything. I admit, I've never used a control panel from a web hosting company before, but I quickly felt right at home using this one."

  — Terri Wells, Dev Shed

• New and expanded business activity

  "The control panel was developed using Ruby on Rails, a stable development framework that allows for the ability to quickly implement new features in the future. The company also provides Web site design services small to medium-sized businesses."

  — Knoxville News Sentinel

• Jubilee Banquet Facility

  "I first talked to Daniel Monday from Slamdot about a year ago, at that time I myself had been in business for one year. He came to my company, Jubilee Banquet Facility, to tell me how he could improve my existing website and better my business. I felt that at the time I had limited funds and needed to be careful with the "extras" that I spent. I had a website why pay for a new one, right? So for another year he checked in from time to time and I kept putting him off... until May 2009! I FINALLY had Slamdot redesign my website and what a difference! I told Daniel I am black and blue from kicking myself for not listening to him sooner. We have had such a great response from all the clients who have gone to our website and checked us out since bringing Slamdot onboard our team! In the month of June we have had 38 clients asking for quotes on parties and have already booked 4 out of that 38, it has made a huge impact on Jubilee. Thanks to Slamdot!!!"

  — Sharon Morton

• Women's Way Weight Management Coaching

  "When I was introduced to Slamdot by a member of the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, I outlined the task at hand: to create an appealing, marketable website for an affordable price and to educate me as part of the process. My first impression was that these guys are really smart... so much so, that I felt they couldn't possibly speak my language and wouldn't really be the best people to work with."
  
  "They offered me the best price in town, so I went with them. I am so glad that I decided to sign-on. Slamdot ended up being a fantastic guide along the way, answering all of my questions with clarity and completeness - always searching for the best solution to every one of my concerns."
  
  "The work that Slamdot did for me was always thorough, on-time, and filled with personal interest. They always addressed my needs as if I were their most important client (which, at the cost of my development package, I know I couldn't have been)."
  
  "Thank you, Slamdot, for your excellent work. I recommend your services to anyone looking for honest, solid workmanship. I was very impressed with all that you offered, both in terms of quality of service and efficiency of process."

  — Siri Khalsa-Zemel, MS, RD, LDN

  — Donna Miller

• Adaptable Furniture Concepts

  "When opening our new commercial furniture dealership in downtown Knoxville, it was important to us to find someone local to create our website and who really understood the image we wanted to portray. Slamdot was easy to communicate with and had ideas that were hip, modern and simple which is exactly what we were looking for. After just 2-1/2 weeks we received our first phone call from someone who saw our website and even complimented us on it."

  — Trisha McKinney

• Appalachian Valley Training Center

  "Slamdot created the website for our startup business, Appalachian Valley Training Center, Inc. in Knoxville, Tennessee. Before finding Slamdot, we had a bad experience with another local graphic designer and had met with a few others. We chose Slamdot because they were affordable and seemed to have the necessary expertise in web design, but the service they have provided has proven to be invaluable. The prompt and professional customer service they deliver along with an excellent product make Slamdot an excellent choice for those seeking a web designer. Take my word on their excellent customer service!"

  — Michelle Greer
