About QCM Media

Small Team. Clear Process. Real Results.

We’re small. You’ll know us by name. We’re a three-person team of senior specialists who take pride in building well-structured, long-lasting solutions. We stay close to the work—and to our clients—so nothing gets lost in translation or buried under layers of process.

No middle layers. No handoffs. Just senior talent, at every step.

We’ve been the client. That’s why we work differently. Our size isn’t a limitation. It’s a choice. It means tighter collaboration, faster iterations, and more thoughtful problem-solving. Every decision, every line of code, and every integration is handled by someone who understands your business and builds with long-term value in mind.

Our Story

QCM Media was founded in 2012 with firsthand experience launching and growing an ecommerce business—and a practical understanding of what breaks as teams scale: limited tools, brittle systems, and off-the-shelf platforms that stop fitting the business. That experience still shapes how we work today: practical, focused, and built for real business needs. We work with B2B, retail, and service-based businesses on Shopify to support both sides of the business — the storefronts customers interact with and the systems teams rely on behind the scenes. From design and UX to integrations and automation, our work connects workflows, improves visibility, and creates infrastructure that scales. As our clients grow, our role grows with them — evolving from focused development into lasting partnerships that help them meet demand, improve operations, and deliver stronger customer experiences. What’s guided us from the start is simple: build with care, focus on what matters, and be the kind of technical partner growing businesses can count on.

Who We Work With

We partner with established companies that sell, serve, and connect with customers both online and in person. We typically support businesses that need more than a storefront—managing complexity across systems, data, and teams, and want infrastructure that keeps pace with growth. We also support earlier-stage businesses when the challenges call for long-term thinking—especially those building toward scale or untangling operational roadblocks. Whether you're making targeted improvements or leading a full commerce transformation, we help align your technology with your team, your goals, and your customers.

How We Work

We listen first—because the right solution starts with understanding your goals, your customers, and your current challenges. Then we turn what we’ve learned into smart solutions that serve customers on the front end and teams in the back office. Our work goes beyond websites—we help problem solve, streamline processes, and engineer clean, scalable solutions. We’re developers, advisors, and hands-on problem-solvers. No upselling what you don't need, no overcomplicating—just thoughtful solutions built to fit, built to perform.

What to Expect

Whether you're launching something new or refining what’s already in place, we bring structure, clarity, and momentum to the process. Our fixed-rate pricing keeps budgets predictable, and our focus on operational efficiency and best practices means you get solutions that work in the real world—not just on paper. With a lean structure and senior involvement from day one, we stay embedded from idea to execution. At every stage, you can expect practical guidance, clear communication, and a team that’s invested in your long-term success.

What Growing Brands Say About Working With Us

    Outstanding Work! We hired QCM to help us with some customizations on our e-commerce store. This was hands down the best experience we had working with a developer. Over the past two years we redesigned our website twice due to faulty work by two different development companies. This time around we were lucky enough to come across QCM. It was clear from the beginning that they knew their stuff and were there to get the job done. QCM Media responded to all our questions quickly and produced quality work in a timely manner. We plan to use regularly as the site grows and cannot recommend highly enough.

    QCM Media has built two websites (on different platforms) for our company and has been instrumental in upgrading our current website’s features making it more attractive and user friendly. Our website is a work in progress…it is always changing…and we require a team that is very flexible to meet our needs. We have found that in QCM Media. They are responsive, professional and easy to work with. These are HONEST, reliable and fair people. I would not hesitate to refer Karen and her team. There are cheaper companies out there but we enjoy superior customer service and quick response.

    Technology is in constant evolution. It is important to have an adviser on your team who has the ability to keep you competitive and provide honest analysis of the importance & impact of different options from an expansive menu of choices. One attribute I liked about QCM Media was that Karen, as the president of the company, had previously owned a successful E-commerce company and was personally familiar with the importance of results and staying in budget related to online market presence as the owner of a business. The information, guidance, and performance I have received as a client of QCM Media has been superior. I continue to get positive feedback about IBA’s website.

    QCM Media is wonderful to work with for any needs your online store has. Their team consists of individuals who have a specialty area which I prefer compared to a team of generalists. They are very flexible and quick to respond to any questions you may have throughout the process. Before Shopify Plus had the ability to go beyond 100 variants, they built us a custom solution that allowed us to have products with far more than 100 variants. They also built us an app that cut down on a lot of back and forth emails with customers requesting a proof as well as graphic design work on cropping the images into a circle before being put on a circular disc golf disc. I highly recommend QCM Media for any custom needs your online store may have.
