A salesperson from IDS contacted me and offered to design a custom website with unlimited changes, and web hosting. She assured me that it would be a "one of a kind, unique site.
A few weeks later, they published a very amateurish version full of misspelled words and incorrect grammar, as well as descriptions of our company that were completely incorrect. I contacted the company and spent another hour going thru their mistakes, and I was promised they would make the changes right away.
After a week of waiting for changes that were never made, I did a little digging. I quickly found TEN other sites that were nearly exact copies of the so-called "custom" website that I bought. There could have been more, but I quit looking.
When I took a look at my invoice, I found charges I never agreed to pay, and instead of billing for web design service, they billed me for some sort of fee that I don't remember agreeing to pay. I believe they did this intentionally to avoid having to give a refund for their lousy design services.
Of course I contacted IDSwebsites.com and demanded a refund of all money that I paid (nearly $300) for what I consider fraud (by promising a custom site and delivering copies to several customers) and breach of contract. They have REFUSED to repay the funds. At this point my recourse is to ask for Visa to refund my money and to contact an attorney for damages we have suffered from their fraud.
Regardless of what business you are in, STAY AWAY FROM THESE CON ARTISTS! I already own what I consider a decent, revenue producing website and only considered the offer from IDS as a way to increase our web presence with another site. They wasted my time, my money, and have caused our business to suffer by their amateur efforts and by copying another company's website.
