The website support was extremely helpful and supportive. I have zero web development background. The team was really helpful in showing us how to navigate Orchid to make changes to our webpage. Cami, our web page rep, was always supportive, pointed us to the right resources for reference and her responsiveness was always on point.
We couldn't be more thrilled not only with their services and product but with their supports staff. Toni and Cami have gone above and beyond with our training, and they are always great to work with, and can point me in the right direction every time. I can count on Orchids support staff to respond in a timely matter.
