To evaluate a provider, it is not enough to consider only the product offered, but also its after-sales service, such as support and troubleshooting. Magmodules has been extremely satisfactory at all levels on multiple occasions and sets the bar at the top when comparing the competition.

Magmodules biedt plugins aan die van hoge kwaliteit zijn tegen een goede prijs, waar dit bedrijf in uitblinkt is de bereidheid om de zeldzame feedback & problemen met de plugins te willen onderzoeken, mee te willen denken in het debuggen van problemen en goede oplossingen toe te passen. In mijn decennium ervaring met Magento & 3th parties is Magmodules absoluut een uniqum binnen de markt.

Uitstekende support! Wij gebruiken o.a. de Rich Snippets Suite extensie voor onze Magento 2 webshop (Hyvä) en hadden een specifieke vraag over structured data op PLP-pagina’s. Binnen no-time kregen we een inhoudelijk en duidelijk antwoord. Zeer prettig contact en goed onderbouwde uitleg. Absoluut een betrouwbare partner voor Magento-extensies!
