Jim D. Ray - Web Presence Ripoff, non-completion of website, no communications, business drastically affected since I have no website. Hobart Indiana
As the old saying goes, "If it is too good to be true, it usually is." I responded to a newspaper article two years ago about Jim Ray and Web Presence of Hobart, Indiana developing free websites to select (20) small businesses. I was fortunate (or so I thought) to receive a free site development from Jim based on my business. Boy was I wrong. I would have been better off paying for the service from another reputtable developer.
The development started out great and my website looked terrific. Although the website was free for life, I did pay for enhanced search engine development. To date, I have received very little contact or sales from my site. Apparently the search option I paid for does not work.
Now that Web Presence is out of business, I cannot receive business e-mails and all of my business cards, brochures, etc.,tell customers to contact me via that address. I have tried repeatedly for the past week to contact Jim Ray to have my website and e-mail security addresses unlocked so that I can have a new site developed without having to start over.
If you are reading this Jim Ray, please COMMUNICATE!!!

I tried really hard to contact as many people as I could about this guy. I worked there for about a week and he was evicted. I have had contact with several designers and they never received payment from him. I know a ton of people like you, they paid and got nothing. Also he would not release the domain name they bought from him.
I talked to one of my friends as she works for the prosecutor's office and this guy is always in trouble. He even tried to run for mayor of Hobart, which is laughable. I am sorry you got taken.
