LR Designing markets themselves on Craigslist that they are Web Designers, Programmers & Market Small Businesses now. I emailed and they called to convince me they could make the improvements I was looking for my already Designed website. A price was agreed on for the project and, being a Service business, they asked for the Money up front before starting the project.
Several emails were exchanged and I paid this company $400 for the improvements/design changes needed to my website.
After several days they sent me a template of a new header they thought I should have.
I attempted several times to reach them, only to be able to leave a message.
Finally I reached the owner, Lisa Romanello, who told me that she had done all they were going to do for the money and she couldn't talk anymore ~ she was busy with other clients.
I lost the $400 I paid for the project and they delivered absolutely nothing.
A year has gone by and accidently I came across their ad in Craigslist [but was unaware it was LR Designing and Lisa Romanello]. When we connected via telephone I realized it was this same company I had lost $400 to on my horse website. I reminded her of my experience with her before, and she again responded that she was not going to waste time proving that she had done the work for the money I paid her and that she was busy ~ and that was the end of our conversation.
I have launched and successfully sold several small businesses; have hired and managed many employees; teach Women StartUp Entrepreneur workshops; have a long background as a Television Broadcast Journalist & feel I have a common sense, optimistic, team player personality in life and especially in the Entrepreneur arena.
It is important that people and businesses like Lisa & LR Designing be reported for their scamming practices on abuse of small business owners, especially in light of their focus on gain at the cost of others demise.
It is easy to 'scam' others on the internet with one's services......as the liklihood of every coming eye to eye, or suing companies like this in Small Claims Courts for these amounts of money are unlikely, and this is how LR Designing operates and counts on for their gain.
Please Do Not Ever have any business with this company. Karma is a b***h, and I forewarned is forearmed.
It is important to have websites like this one so we can share and diminish the negative aspects of business scamming that is far too rampant in the Website/Programming arenas.
