Complaint Review: Rise Local - Status 26

Absolutely the worst company I've dealt with in 33 years in business.  Produced a site on Wordpress with hundreds of errors in code and no design or forthought whatsoever.  Misnamed pictures, bad coding. no meta tags, no geo tags. 

Took a thousand a month for three months and really didn't care a bit that they were behind schedule with a terrible product. 

These guys are out for money not to build websites.  Mike Stewart and John O'Grady both were unconcerned and unwilling to work to put together a decent product or even get the website or company address correct.  Lots of hype and jargan with almost no effort or reasonable product to show for it. 

They also shut the website completely off when I became unwilling to continue paying a thousand a month before the hosting bill was even due.  Then tried to hold my website hostage in exchange for a release of liability and a promise to not speak poorly of their work. 

They insist on hosting the site on their servers in order to keep it captive and use it as leverage if a customer becomes non compliant with their payment demands.
