Dani Marie Designs - Danielle Lewis - Wendell Richardson Scams Customers, Rips off generic templates Coronado, California
A number of issues with this fraudulent team of hacks claiming to be web
designers.
1. None of their designs are 100% original. They are in fact based on templates created by other REAL designers and are available dirt cheap on the web.
For example, say you commissioned Dani Marie Designs to build you a social network. Their software of choice is a popular PHP script called 'Social Engine' (socialengine.net). This script is available for $250.
Next, say you wanted a CUSTOM template for your social network. Dani Marie Designs will then shop around the web for a cheap template. In the past, they have used templates from a site called Mysocialengine.com, maker of some of the most crappiest and buggy templates on the planet. Their templates cost about $79.00 and are available to EVERYONE.
Okay, so let's calculate the cost of our social network so far: $250 (software) + $79 (cheap template) = $329.00. For this sort of package, Dani Marie Designs will make a few layout changes (background, font-color) and charge you anywhere from $2500 - $3000. Such a huge price for something that's generic and looks like other people's sites. Forget about originality.
2. They are extremely rude, slow to deliver and keep deadlines, and sometimes take days to reply to emails, if at all. They have a tendency to be quite arrogant when you protest about the horrible work that they're shoving down your throat, and want to start charging you more when you request changes.
3. They are money-hungry and have the nerve to threaten collections when you refuse to make the final payment for their horrible work. Customer satisfaction goes out the door with Dani Marie Designs. Their #1 priority is to get paid, and they don't care about the finished product.
Bottom line is, Dani Marie Designs is a company that you should avoid, or at the very least BE VERY CAREFUL and do your research. Scrutinize everything they send you for errors and duplicates on the web. Once a deposit is made, it is next to impossible to get a refund from them willingly.
