Testimonials
Throughout the migration process and beyond, Five Jars has been responsive to our needs.
Five Jars provided training documents and hosted an online training session to bring us up to speed and teach us how to use our new CMS. They provided rapid support and gave us multiple communication channels, so that we can use the tools that are most convenient for us. I look forward to working with the Five Jars team as we continue to refine our website.

Five Jars team was extremely responsive to our adjustments.
The team located a number of places where the functioning could be greatly improved that we had no idea of. They were able to talk to us in layman's terms; we understood everything that was being changed. We are very pleased with the project development, the launch, their ongoing development, and with the support, which has been consistently prompt and effective.
