Great Website developer
Rowan and his team have been excellent at website development. He is extremely responsive and goes above and beyond to achieve the desired goal. He has also offered advice and help when needed, and has been very punctual with deadlines.
Oustanding Service
Having previously used large development agencies in the past for our Magento site we moved to Burgess Commerce and have never looked back. Their first-rate knowledge of the Magento ecosystem, excellent support, coupled with a highly agile and responsive approach has allowed us to rapidly accelerate our ecommerce workflows and massively improving our overall website efficiency. As our chosen development partner they have proven time and again to be highly consistent and reliable and as such would recommend them to anyone looking for a premium development partner.
Professional with a keen eye for detail
Rowan has supported us with the setup of our new website from day 1. Burgess Commerce took over after a bad experience with another developer and filled us with confidence going on to set up a great website with top UX which is constantly brought up by our customers.
Security was a top priority for us and he answered all our questions and is always on hand when updates are urgent.
Whilst I know Rowan has many clients, he makes us feel like we are his only client which speaks volumes in itself.
His experience and know-how with Magento is invaluable to us and he is certainly our biggest helping hand outside of our internal team.
We would highly recommend Rowan to any Magento e-commerce company looking to grow and expand its website's potential.
Highly recommended Magento web partner
If you need an experienced and transparent Magento developer capable of superb results, and be an extended part of your team, I highly recommend Burgess Commerce.
Good Magento & Shopify Developers
After having a number of bad experiences with 3rd party developers for Magento we decided to go with Rowan for our last site redesign and upgrade.
This has turned out to be a very good decision as Rowan has proven to be prompt, professional, efficient and very good at what he does! From helping with design and logic to coming up with solutions for all sorts of requests which we throw at him.
We no longer feel like we are in perpetual development. We are growing and improving and Rowan has been key to this success.
I would strongly recommend you consider Rowan and his team for your next Magento 2 development or redesign.
More than your typical development agency
Since 2021, we've had the pleasure of collaborating with Rowan and his team at Burgess Commerce, following our transition to Shopify Plus. Their service has become an integral part of our operations. What sets Rowan apart is his approach - he's not just a typical development agency, but rather acts as a seamless, remote extension of our own tech department. Rowan expertly juggles multiple roles, serving as our CTO, project manager and lead developer. He's adept at managing both small and large agile projects with efficiency and skill. He consistently delivers top-notch work, characterized by lean, clean code and solutions optimized for speed and solid user experience. He leverages native Shopify functionalities, avoiding over-reliance on third-party apps. But the real value hiring Burgess Commerce goes beyond just the technical expertise. Having Rowan on board means having an e-commerce specialist readily available to brainstorm and develop solutions. His insightful input and deep understanding of e-commerce have been invaluable to our rapid growth.
Rowan did my website I highly recommend him
Rowan did my website, and it is a pleasure to work with him. Whenever I need a tweak or update or my website, Rowan has always responded quickly. He's extremely professional, has extraordinarily knowledgeable of his industry, easy to work with; he understands your vision and brings it to life. I highly recommend him.
Outstanding and Throughly Professional
I found Rowan during a search for an honest web developer. I had been previously let down simply by people who didn't know what they were doing. Having worked with Rowan over the past 18 months I can honestly say he is the best developer I have ever met. He is honest, has a fantastic work ethic and is thoroughly professional. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to launch my site. Furthermore, I have continued to use Rowan for further development of the site and will continue to do so. I wouldn't hesitate in using Rowan in any capacity and he represents the IT and e-commerce sector in a very positive light.

Totally unprofessional
Before hiring him, I asked Rowan some key questions that are important for my needs, one of which was whether he can use skype and phone for real time communication, he responded Yes.
After paying him 50% of the funds, he did the work my development site, but when it came time to push it to live, I asked him for his skype name so we can be in real time contact (in case something went wrong), to which he said he doesn't have nor use skype. Then I asked him if I can call, he kept insisting that I use email as that is "Real time" and best way for HIM to communicate, never-mind what the paying customer wants or what was discussed before start of project! So basically he changed his mind as things went along and does not care what customer prefers.
When I questioned him why he went back on his word, he started throwing offenses telling me I'm a problematic client and to "get lost", his words.
This was one of the strangest and worst experiences with what was supposed to be a professional developer, he also refused to issue a refund.
He may be good when he's doing his work with a computer, but careful not to push the wrong button or stand up for your requirements, he reacted belligerently and unprofessionally to me when I did this.
