Stay Away from this Company! - Sneaky, Unprofessional, Sly, Con artists
Contracted Visuwire Web Development Solutions, otherwise known as Madison Skyy Agency (owners/operators - Robert and Joanne Blaise) of Miami, Florida to design a custom e-commerce website in PHP. The websites of this company are visuwire.net, madisonskyy.com
All parties reviewed and signed off on a "clearly detailed" 4 page detailed document of what was to be designed and developed. I paid the first $850 deposit in good faith.
2 months into the work, I had asked when the e-commerce options included in our contract would be included in the development of the website. I was told that they couldn't develop the website to the agreed spec without the price going up because the site was more complex than they anticipated... Crazy!
Being $850 and 2 months into the development of my e-commerce business (they were still on the HTML design portion), in an effort to move things along, I agreed to forgo some of the options that were committed to (even though I had paid for them as per our contract). After coming to an agreement regarding what options were to be included... I was told they needed the second deposit of $850, which in good faith (and stupidly being trustworthy), I sent.
I received a rude email from Joanne Blaise after they received my money stating that the options in our written signed contract would not be included, and that if I wanted them it would cost me additional monies (based on an hourly rate... I don't remember the rate or amount quoted but do have it written in documentation if required).
After this, I asked for a partial refund and a portion of the completed work. I was blatantly refused any form of refund and told they would be keeping my $1780 and would be receiving NOTHING for this money.
I have not received any refund, or work completed for this money to date from Visuwire, Maddison Skyy Agency, Robert Blaise, Joanne Blaise of Miami, Florida.
If I had the funds, I would travel to Miami from Canada (where I live), and file a claim in Small Claims Court just on principle. I am still investigating my legal options.
(I have written and signed documents for anyone who wishes to have these sent out or emailed for verification.
I would like to note that I am not into smearing reputable hardworking companies for the fun of it. I don't have the time to do this, but if it helps or protects others from people and companies like this, than at least I've saved someone the money and extreme frustration
I have full documentation to support my claim should anyone need it.in addition, I have officially filed dispute with MasterCard International regarding such.
Thank you for reading, I hope this has been helpful
