If Teas and Spices are your thing, like me, then SheffieldSpices.com is the place for you. They have a bunch of different tea flavors, from all around the world, and pretty much any spice you can think of. They have a brick and mortar in Las Vegas, but if you aren’t local or are not on a “Hangover” trip, you can still access their amazing selection online!
Chris worked with Richard and his crew to bring their business online, available for the masses. Sheffield shared their comprehensive catalog of Teas and Spices with Chris and his team, and their vision for an ideal customer experience! Chris combined those things into a user friendly shop that has a high conversion rate. Customers can find the tea flavors and spice selections they need with only a few simple clicks.
Like many of the other eCommerce projects Chris has worked on, SheffieldSpices needed to make sure their customer experience was fast an secure. These topics are what Chris specializes in. Armed to the teeth with security protections and caching/speed improvements, their site stands up to any load of customer browsing and purchasing. For years Chris provided bi-monthly Maintenance and feature updates that has put SheffieldSpice on the digital map!
