Even worst than I thought! Said my domain would be transferred and then said No after I paid them!!!! Any cops out there?need some help???

22 yrs with my domain, i used artistic webstudios for 14 months out of 36 months I paid for. this is the absolute worst experience and business decision I have ever made using this company was a nightmare. I had 5 project managers in this time frame, 1st (celein) lied to me, told me i needed dedicated server, i did not, I was told she got fired but I already paid for dedicated hosting. 2nd (marcus) hospital emergency he didnt come back to work, made promisses he never kept, 3rd (kevin) he actually tried to fix, I was told he got fired for loosing the company money, 4th (zane) promissed a new website although the one they built was only a year old, it was having so many issues, and due to me overpaying for hosting, I never got a dedicated server although paid for it they put me on a shared server, zane promissed a new website to make up for it, zane mia first said he was getting married, then said his wife with hospital emergency, 5th manager, Alstair - the absolute worst of them all, says he will update me on status of project, been 2 weeks he doesnt keep his word or do what he says, complete jerk stay away from him, so now i want to part ways , cut my losses, asked for all my files so i can transfer to new company, he sent the files incomplete and tampered, there was no user table in my data base, so I could not log into wordpress, thanks **&&%(*&^ all I can say about him, my new host company got me in created a table for me, but now there is many plug in and theme issues that my wordpress site went into safe mode only way to fix the erros they gave me, thing is site was taking orders before i wanted the change. I am going to be asking for refund of 2 yrs hosting I did not payfor a week ago alistair said he would update me on that, of course his is mia havent heard from them, I am with a new hosting company and having a new website being built by a much more reputable company, artistic webstudios is the absolute worst, I am now looking into learning how to sue an out of state business but the $3k I spent here will likely be a valuable learning lesson for me as its likely not worth the time, so I simply cut my losses but assured them i will let others know everyday for 5 minutes leaving a review for them on as many websites i can find, its my first thing to do each morning, if I cost them 1 customer it will teach them not to steal from others. read all the bad reviews others have had very similar results,, this is the worst website people I ever came across.

Complete scam, stay away don’t do business with the jokers. They aren’t based in the US and their address is fake. These people say they can deliver but they only try to up charge you for everything and the product they deliver isn’t worth the time or the money. It took them 9 months to deliver a website that my 4 year old could do better. It didn’t have any of the specs we went over nor did it have any functionality. There’s Pirie are complete jokers just trying to grab your money. Stay away and do not engage these people for anything. Complete scam, I just got lucky my bank agreed they were a scam and returned the funds.

What I appreciated most about this company is that they kept at the job until it was done to my satisfaction. It took awhile, longer than I would have liked, but instead of being one of those companies that will just leave you high and dry, Artisticwebstudios and especially Melissa Conner stayed the course. There were some snags along the way that required greater effort from her and her developer (Norman), but they kept at it until the site worked 'exactly' the way I wanted it, the way we had originally agreed upon. So at the end of it all, I'm pleased with Artisticwebstudios, Melissa and Norman and their supporting cast (whoever they may be) for being an honorable and talented group that finish what they started. Kudos. UPDATED 3/21/2024 Shortly after my site went online, a very important email page stopped working. When I contacted Melissa about it, she assured me they would make it right. Many days would go by and no updates. I would repeatedly have to inquire what the status is. After weeks went by, she said they could not fix the page. I gave them a compromise. I would fix it myself, but I needed them to use my old email page and make it look like the site they built for me. I would take care of the logic. They agreed, but over and over again after many many days/weeks it seemed they just forget about you. The fix should take no more than a couple of hours, but instead I'm clearly put at the bottom of 'forget-land' pile. What was a good review when the site was finally finished now is a horrible review. Avoid companies like this that make you think they will take care of you but then go silent requiring you to continually ask what's going on. STAY AWAY!!!!!

I had a horrible experience. It took 37 days to create a very basic website of 5 pages (they promised within 10 days), and they missed every single one of their own deadlines along the way. Give them a list of changes, half will get done, the other half dropped and they'll create two more issues while they are at it. They don't tell you what they are going to do or when, and they're amazingly terrible at following step-by-step instructions. Simple things such as a sticky header weren't able to get accomplished by this company (I had to add it myself). I had such a problem getting my website done that I escalated my issues to senior management. I got "help" from Ben, the company VP. Unfortunately, he was just as terrible to deal with, failing to address any of my core issues or the relationship. Ben literally just stopped replying to me. In the end, I changed the website myself after getting it back from this company and I'm happier with my version than theirs. Their price is good, but it's a headache. I think their gimmick is that they truly want you as a customer for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and if you're just there for a website, go to the back of the line. They'll get to you, and eventually, you'll get 75% of what you wanted.
