I contacted Professional Web Experts to help me develop an existing Squarespace Website/Domain I had for a Children's Swimming Project. I am fairly proficient with Web Design and an expert in using Design programs like Adobe Photoshop. But, I wanted to see what a real Professional could do to drive sales through a sharper Website. The initial cost was supposed to be $199 so I didn't think it was too much risk. I supplied the exact way I was hoping for the pages to look from background colors, verbiage, photo and video placement with well drawn out pages in Photoshop. One month later my site was done and it looked essentially how I wanted it. That is when the nonsense started. At that point 'David James' explained that the site they had made was for Word Press. That wordpress was far superior for many reasons to Squarespace template and would be much less expensive for me and result in much more traffic, sales, etc. also, if I didn't go with Wordpress, we would need to start over. The way he made it sound, it was as if I could just use this Wordpress template on my existing Squarespace account. A month went by. And then I was informed that I would need to buy a hosting platform VPN. It would cost several hundred dollars but would be far superior to what I had. A month went by and then it was you will have to transfer over the domain from Squarespace to another hosting network and it will cost a few hundred dollars but it will be far superior. Meanwhile, I make Children's swimming items and we are well into summer at this point... another month goes by and by now 'David James' will no longer answer my calls or is at a funeral or etc... and I am referred to someone else. They inform me that in order to publish my site I will need to buy an SSL Certificate and it will cost a few hundred dollars and if I don't then he cannot help me. What should have taken a week and cost $199 now cost over $1000 and 6 months later was finally published. But... that's not where it ends. After all of that... I have never, ever, received a single order or even a message on that site other than 10's of junk mail I receive every single day. And guess who will not return my calls and messages? My advice DO NOT WORK WITH PROFESSIONAL WEB EXPERTS. Their whole business plan is to upsell you things like VPN Hosting, SSL Certificates. Etc. I have another business which is unrelated. I have a simple Squarespace Website I created myself. I put one page on that site dedicated to this Childrens swimming product. I receive a constant stream of orders from that page. I have much higher SEO than I have from my entire website made by "The Professionals", and I receive 0 junk mail.

Now you will see on the professionalwebexperts.com website a "MONEYBACK GUARANTEE" hahaha... more like a guarantee not to return your calls, emails, or messages once you ask for it.
