Buyer BEWARE
This website design company is a predatory business. I hired them to build me a total ecom website. I told them upfront I HAD MY OWN LOGO. They spent the first week designing me a logo that looked amateurish and comical. I expressed my displeasure with them burning a week and with drew my agreement having lost all trust. Unknowingly to me according to Simon a lead designer they continued to design. The sent me emails for my edit and approval and I NEVER responded yet according to Simon the continued building and charging me. They are fighting tooth and nail to charge my credit card almost $1600 dollars. And will not stop. I feel sorry for anyone that gives them their cc# you will be scammed like me. The law of averages say I can’t be the only one being SCAMMED you SIMON AND WEBSITEDESIGN247. I can wait to see their lame excuses trying to look legitimate. BUYERS BEWARE… even the response is total BS threatening me with legal procedures all right welcome that truly do because the truth is a 100% defense in a court of law. This is how this company operates through intimidation they scam you and then they steal your money as they did mine even today they’re still fighting my credit card company and they cannot show one reply from any of their emails that I approve any of their development none and if you will read those emails, it says they are being sent so I can edit and approve the progress. Let them show you that they can’t. They can’t show One email of my approval but yet behind the scene so they Say they continue working. Why would any company do that? Why would any company continue working without the customers input that is 100% proof that this is a scam predatory business. They’ve been fighting in my credit card company for months now months trying to steal $1500 and I’m just telling the truth they can sound educated and sophisticated and all that garbage, but the truth of the matter is, they are a scam company. Period and I welcome any any response from them because if they follow suit they will get counter sued I promise them. This is not going away until they release my funds. I am going to keep telling people the truth.

Dear James, We’re sorry you feel this way, but we’d like to clarify the facts for accuracy. You approached us for a full eCommerce website project. As part of our onboarding, we provided free logo concepts (despite you stating you already had one) as added value—never billed separately. After sharing initial designs, you continued communication via email, acknowledged updates, and raised no concerns until later. Only after the project was well underway, with design and development already in progress, did you file a dispute with your payment provider, claiming services were not delivered, despite clear evidence to the contrary. The disputed amount was $1499, not $1600 as falsely stated. While misunderstandings happen, we cannot tolerate false claims, especially with documentation confirming our work. Due to ongoing false statements and threats made outside this review, we’ve escalated the matter legally. At WebsiteDesign247, we pride ourselves on transparency and professionalism. We’re trusted by hundreds of clients and always open to fair resolutions when approached respectfully. Thanks, Website Design 247 Team
