I was given this firm as a referral for a new website for our company. At first the design and website looked great. We started having issues with spam so I called to ask him to fix it and would pay for the service. When I contacted him, he said he could "fix it" but in order to do so we would have to move to his ISP hosting (at 400% of my current cost). After that call things got progressivly worse, my site was sending out Thousands of spam emails daily. Unfortunately the website had so many security holes in the design that it was constantly being hacked by spammers - to the point that we had to take it off line. It is my belief that he was behind the hack and was selling the information on the darkweb, of course I cannot prove that as I am a business person not a programmer or coder but my gut tells me he is not to be trusted.
I am posting this report only to make others aware that there are unscrupulous players out there and they will take advantage of you any time they can.
Use this service at your own risk. My money is gone and I will find a new web page designer but will also check deeper into their credentials before signing on and giving them my money.
