Run, don't walk from them!
Like most of the other reviews I searched and found Designs Cottage with a seemingly decent deal for a webpage. They offered a roughly $700 deal for a whole host of items that would be included. However, as has been mentioned, they will call and continue to extract money for various items. When you are busy you think this is a lot, but okay. Then enough is enough. I requested a transaction on my page that had been completed be stopped at the bank (had not cleared payment yet) and the page be shut down. Yes, the work had been done, but I found out shortly thereafter that a transaction that they had sent me for a document claiming to be a Trademark application was actually false. Not to mention this occurred like six months ago and they never issued it until I said I want it. The TM number issued was attached to another business account at Patents and Trademarks! Not only that, the document was made in Illustrator. That sealed the no-trust deal. I am done with these people. You will be told you have to do some things or your site won't be this or do that. It is BS. They deliver a product, but it is a pretty sweet scam going on with exorbitant prices on the backend. The good reviews have to be from clients who either pay a high price for services that are acceptable to Designs Cottage or are fake. Many poor reviews have been made since I hired this company. Believe them. This discount pricing scam is just that. And, as has been said, they won't return the domain name as I and others have requested. Trust me, you can build a page easily on your own. All the charges they say you must incur...you don't need to! Stay away. I gave them a 2 star for the simple fact that the designer did communicate with me until I wanted info on the fake Trademark I was issued.
