Website overhaul
“The result after going live? Sales tripled!”
Jake OrakFounder, Ethnotek

CIO Solutions helped us completely overhaul our website to reduce complexity, fix broken links, optimize SEO, speed up page load times, and improve the overall UI/UX shopping experience. We knew this was needed for years but were overwhelmed by how to actually execute it. CIO Solutions guided us through the process efficiently and got hands-on when we needed technical heavy lifting. It went way faster and smoother than expected thanks to the team’s tech wizardry. The result after going live? Sales tripled! On top of boosting the financial health of our business, CIO Solutions was a joy to work with: fun, funny, patient, and a clear communicator. We really appreciated how well the team explained complex tasks in simple terms we could understand and act on. I can't sing the team’s praises loudly enough and highly recommend working with them if you're ready to upgrade your enterprise.

I had the pleasure of partnering with CIO Solutions on several complex system integrations. CIO Solutions is exactly the kind of IT leader you want driving a project. The team has genuine technical understanding, which allows them to quickly grasp complex challenges and collaborate on effective solutions. The team’s project management skills are top-tier, the team kept our joint initiatives focused, on schedule, and aligned with the broader business goals. Any organization looking for an Interim CIO who can seamlessly bridge the gap between technical execution and business strategy would be lucky to have them.
AI quoting and local SEO
“Large detailed quotes that used to take me 1 hour + are now generated in matter of minutes”

I found the concept of integrating AI into my business confusing and daunting but this was quickly diminished when CIO Solutions showed us how it can be done. CIO Solutions has undoubtedly transformed how we run J and J Decorating. In just a few sessions the team walked me through everything we needed to do, to set up all of the AI tools that now handle our quoting and admin in a fraction of the time. Large detailed quotes that used to take me 1 hour + are now generated in matter of minutes, and even look far more professional than what I was producing for clients previously. Additionally, the team has helped us enormously with SEO work that now has us showing up on the first page for local searches. We're getting enquiries from customers who'd never have found us before. I myself do not possess good IT skills, but this wasn't an issue, CIO Solutions was extremely patient and excellent at communicating with me and the messaging was clear throughout the whole process. Genuinely one of the best investments we've made in the business.
