Antarctic

We shared an office space with these "web designers" and submitted our highly functional and specific needs to them, and they seemed to understand what we need. So when they hit us with a $15,000 to $20,000 price we trusted them and agreed. BIG mistake. Clearly, they have no idea how to build a website, although they will tell you whatever you want to hear to get your money. AND you better have a lot of it, because when our website was done, virtually none of our needed functions was completed and the site was seriously flawed. They couldn't produce a calendar that updates automatically with the date for all this money. I built a personal site on Square Space and added the calendar in 5 seconds. Total cost for my site: $97. $97 can get you a calendar that $20,000 couldn't. We had three separate web developers look into the site, all people I know and trust, and all three independently of each other came up with the exact same appraisal...no more than $3000. All the functions we need, Antarctic said couldn't be included in the initial price and would now cost more than $20,000 to $30,000 with no end in site. On top of that we received the 'non-profit discount" as friends. They claimed that the site had taken 400 hours to do (397 is a better fake number they came up with) but they would be nice and only bill us for 200 hours. 400 hours would come out to a $65,000 site. Again, they are saying the value of this site to be $65,000, our appraisals were all $3,000 tops. 400 hours, and it wasn't even close to being finished. When we refused payment they sued my company. They are also masters of putting together contracts that favor them and leave you helpless. In a nutshell, these aren't some of the shadiest people in NYC, they are some of the shadiest people on the whole planet. Do yourself a favor, and find yourself a real web designer who's has a conscience.

Professional and bold designs, I feel confident that Michael understands what we need, how we want to project our image and getting the right visual tools to grow our business. Michael knows how to get things done!
