PLEASE DON'T USE THIS FRADULENT COMPANY

They charged $899 to migrate my hosting to another company!! They refused to give me my website Wordpress password and CPanel information and held my website hostage unless I paid this ridiculous high fee in order to switch hosting. They charge a low fee to start, and then charge two-three times more when time to renew. I wish I had never started with them in the first place because it ended up costing much higher than just paying a designer to create a wordpress and OWN the site/passwords so I can switch anytime without incurring ridiculous migration fee

PLEASE DON'T GIVE THESE PEOPLE A DIME. THEY ARE SCAMMERS AND CROOKS. THEY LIAR AND TRY TO EXTORT MONEY FROM YOU. I SPENT CLOSE TO 4,000.00 AND NOW THEY SAY MY WEBSITE IS IN REPOSSESSION UNTIL I GIVE THEM 1800.00 MORE. RUN FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE CROOKS!!!!!! NO STARS FROM ME. I HAD TO PUT ONE TO LEAVE THIS REVIEW

SCAM! THESE PEOPLE ARE FRAUDULENT! They will take your money and not provide what you paid for and continue to try to upsell you to get what you paid for. Check with the BBB for more info.

bad experience with web building corp, i signed up their service to build an e- commerce website in Feb.2025 and paid $399 , sooner latter they told me that i need to pay $1400 for VPS Hosting Server for 24 month plus domain fee which is way over my budget , and I requested a refund after notice this addition cost somehow the customer service rejected my requested and Now I wasted my money plus 2 month time, be very careful with all the hidden cost if your background is not the computer or IT related, not honest people and they obviously failed to conduct their business in an honest and transparent way, will never recommend to any one, just be very careful!!

They took in $4,000 and multiple people promised me they could build the database I needed and they never did. After 1 year I finally gave up. They were also constantly switching the project manager, I had at least 4 in 12 months. They would say they fixed everything and I would check and found they never fully fixed the problems. I literally have no usable website and no one there will return my messages. I went elsewhere to get a website built.

I wish I could leave ZERO stars and I wish I had checked the reviews. RUN THE OTHER WAY IT'S WORSE THAN A SCAM, ITS EXTORTION. I've given these criminals $8-10,000 over the past year and though I did end up with a mostly functional but poorly designed website (which was supposed to cost $999 (sigh...stupid) they consistently and purposefully do things to make in non-functional (or just take it offline) periodically (every few months) and then demand $ (thousands) to get it up and running again. THIS IS EXTORTION - THEY HOLD YOUR WEBSITE HOSTAGE AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY SPENT THOUSANDS. examples are things like, "The site is not ADA compliant, The site is not secure (despite security from the host), or "Google took it offline b/c of some BS Copyrighting problem" (this was all just lies), THEY LIE...A LOT. ABOUT EVERYTHING. They take advantage of people who don't understand the techy website terminology and use threats of heavy government fines etc. They lie about being located in the US and even list locations in FL (I went to the one in Fort Walton Beach - its an empty building that can be rented as supplemental office space - which they have never rented). They lie about their names - they tell you their names are "Alan Parker, and Jason Walker but they speak heavily accented English and are actually located in Pakistan (which means they don't/won't follow US laws and basically can't be sued). They don't work normal US business hours - duhh. I'm in the process of trying to get a reputable company to take over and maintain the site for me but the EXTORTIONISTS have already started purposefully taking pages down to pressure me. I'm heartbroken and out $10K for a crappy website. I'm probably going to have to start over with a real web design company from the USA. READ REVIEWS!!!

ATTN all current or future-prospects who’re thinking of conducting business with The Web Design Corp. DO NOT PROCEED!!! Please read this entire comment and direct your attention to the last section of this comment, as it contains all their contact information. When I was introduced to Hide Rodgers, one of the head project managers at The Web Design Corp, he explained to me their capabilities and promised to create a platform for my company. After he reviewed all the requisite blueprints I sent over, he explained that the development of the project wouldn’t be an issue, and that his team would be able to develop said project within 6 – 12months. On 10/11/2022, he sent me a contract to sign and explained that an upfront payment of $2,500 was required. Additionally, the total cost of the project was supposed to be $5,000; as stated in the contract. Months later, despite an initially smooth and on-schedule project, concerns arose around the 4-month mark. My project was unexpectedly put on hold, prompting me to reach out to Hyde. With no response, I reached out to my initial contact who escalated the issue to their superiors. Alan Parker, another project manager took over, restarting backend development. On 03-29-2023, he provided an updated work list and introduced new costs for compliance certifications (PCI, GDPR, HIPAA, ADA) totaling $2,000, along with hosting services amounting to $3,255. The total paid to The Web Design Corp now stands at $10,255. A few months later, I contacted their attorney, Wayne Robson to inquire about the delay in receiving my compliance certifications. Wayne asserted that an additional payment was required for processing and shipping the certificates, amounting to approximately $1,900. Despite my explanation that I had already paid Alan Parker for platform compliance, Wayne insisted these were separate costs. I pointed out that government agencies don't impose extra fees for processing and shipping certificates, emphasizing that the total cost should have been covered upon application submission. Despite my clarification, Wayne maintained his position. After that, I ended up speaking with Alan Parker again about the completion of the backend of the website. Almost one year later, and he finally sends over the list of completed functions and wants me to approve the backend of the website so we can start working on the frontend. After I test each function, I noticed that there were some flaws in their development, like simple spelling errors on some of the headings, additional functions that I never even listed in my blueprints, and over half of the forementioned functions outlined in my blueprints weren’t even built into the platform. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, Alan Parker attempted to provide emails as evidence of my approval for all backend functions. Furthermore, discussions about integrating a Microsoft API for user-friendliness surfaced, with Alan demanding a one-time fee of approximately $2,700. Research revealed that the API had a monthly cost, contrary to Alan's claim. Despite my argument, Alan stated that he couldn't move forward with the development of the platform unless this amount was paid. CONCLUSION As I’m writing this comment on 02/05/2024, Alan Parker is now holding my platform hostage and refuses to continue developing the frontend and completing the development of my platform. He even sent me an email giving me an ultimatum. Either I pay the requested amount of approximately $2,700, or my project will be terminated. IMPORTANT If you’ve been scammed by this company and the forementioned employees and are currently seeking or have an attorney, then you’ll be needing their contact information. As I’m writing this on 02/05/2024, all the individuals I’ve mentioned in this comment and their contact details are listed below. Due to the rules of this review platform, I'm unable to provide their email addresses, which I currently possess.
