Not as described - Claim - #PP-001-157-870-663


She began on the site 11/24/2010 with a 2 week deliverable guarantee.


3 weeks later the site was not complete and inferior. The site was rushed and I didn't even receive a mock up which was promised to me a few days after she started working on the site to gather my thoughts and ideas on the direction of the site, I didn't get this mock up until two days before the site was expected to be completed on 12/17/2010


She was unresponsive and stated that this was due to instrumental people on her team being out due to deaths in their families. She stated that this took place 3 days after she received my job. If she knew that she was understaffed that was the time to notify me because she knew it was a time sensitive project. Instead she hid those facts from me and shunned my calls and emails.


She stated that my project was the only one affected and was inferior and rushed.


An email from her:


Apologies, thank you for the reminder to reset the timer. The email address you gave was updated.


The design should be finalized and to you within a few days.


From here on, once approved you will see all changes made and uploaded to your domainin live time

(I NEVER RECEIVED THIS JPEG)- 2 days prior to 12/17/10 she sent me to synergy.shanonnelson.com, the pictures were not sharp, they were blurry, the pictures had been snatched off of facebook still with writing on them, it wasn't even cropped, the site had no continuity, things were just on the site, but there was no real flow of the sight. The design was boring and not my brand, the color was blue, and masculine like. The font was small, and the drop downs were boring, of all the sites I sent her, none of them resembled this site.

She was unprofessional and did not do the things she agreed to do and that's why 3 weeks later there was a disaster and lost revenue on my part as a business owner.

----------------

Hi Ms., Unfortunately, no. Due to the e-check processing. I had to make sure your payment cleared before beginning work. Especially since I reduced the cost for this project drastically, have you on a payment schedule and this is our first time working together. Hope you understand However, I have good news. There's 2 people working on this project, this may expedite the process. We began work yesterday as to develop a concept for ShanonNelson.com. I wll keep you in the loop CeCe

Is the website still on schedule to be completed by this Sunday?

(Again, first disappointment, I was not aware that she wouldn't begin the site until the funds cleared. I was knew to Paypal processessing and didn't see any other option other than bank draft. It left my account almost immediately, so I thought out of good faith that she would begin the site, this was not made clear.)

This is tough. I understand your position but it puts me in a compromised position yet again. My website had already been down a month trusting that a friend could have it up in two weeks and I was certain that you understood the importance of the website being up on time. This whole process has been difficult for me, mainly due to time commitments not being kept. I'm not upset with you. Only frustrated with the process and really wish you had known that I'm a woman of my word. Deep Breath. Essentially, I can't sell books, market, do anything until my website is up and running. The longer it is down, the more money it costs me in unearned revenue.

With that in mind. I have manycolleagues, mentors and friends assessing the website (when it's complete) due to the amount of money that was invested in the website. So neither do I want you to just throw something up there because of my plight. This website will speak to your caliber of work as much as it does my brand. Deep Breath again....

I need an estimated completion date, not a maybe, not a I think. A true estimated completion date preferably with a discount if the website is not completed on the promised date. Again, this is not a slight to you, only to ensure that I have a CLEAR idea of when to expect this project done.

Deep Breath again. So all this time, nothing has been down. :(

The website wasn't reset until December 9, 2010 although I had requested it since Dec 3, 2010 because she stated that she didn't know how to do so and had to wait for her staff member to return from leave due to an illness in the family.

That sounds wonderful! In terms of capturing emails, where is those email addresses going?

Hi Ms.,

The design should be finalized and to you within a few days. (Again, this email was received on Dec 9th, I did not see the website until Dec 15th, this was still almost a week later when she promised a few days. She has not consistently kept her word about anything) I NEVER saw the site until Dec 15th and the site was way OVERDUE on Dec 17th. I never was able to put in input in on the mock up. Essentially, there was no mock up as promised)

The feed isn't working. click on the link in this email, it's alot of words.

OK to everything else.

I am going to sign up for aweber for autoresponder is that how you are setting it up or with feedburner. Or is feedburner going away once the original sight is complete? I know...it's technical, lol!

To: Good Morning Ms. , Just rec'd your voicemail, we can pow wow today about your site when convenient for you, please let me know a time. In regards to the site feed, not to get too technical but the underconstruction theme does not support widgets. I need a widget to install feedburner code. At the moment, I am trying to override it with a few plugins. Will keep you posted in an hour or so In the meantime, I created a feed for your other blogon the site. Just because , doesnt have feeds right now. Anyhoo, when comments or new posts are made tofeed subscribers receive an e-mail. I can install an email capturing database on the back-end of your site to capture email addresses and to send emails to database. However, it will not be fully function until Dec 15th. It goes with the theme Here's the feed, I created:

Comments for Blog
Transforming Lives from the inside OUT!

In reference to your auto- responder, please send free mp3 file and ebook you wish to have automatically send to the subscriber, along with any message you would like to send.

(I called her a week prior, she never returned the call. This feed form she brags about, didn't even work)

-------------------------------------------------

There are free auto-responder plugins for wordpress, however once you set up the aweber stuff, we need the code to embed on homepage

Don't worry about the autoresponder, I am going to go with a 3rd party autoresponder i.e. aweber. So you don't have to focus on that. I hope this saves you a little time on the site.

She was unfamiliar with Aweber.

To save you time, Let me set of aweber first and then just use that. To do it twice seems redundant to me. I should be able to set it up either tomorrow or Sat.

I am only giving out Mp3's. I've changed my mind about the ebook. So I'll forward those over.

I offered to setup Aweber for her.

To: Does your paid version of Aweber have a Wordpress plugin alternative?

-------

So to be clear, if I send people to visit my website, there is no way of capturing the email right?

If not, it may not be a good idea to send them to my website.

Ms send your designer for your main site to the links below to get the Aweber Wordpress plugin and Widget the Diferrence.. the plugin will allow your subcribers to opt-in from all your blogposts the Widget will allow your subcribers to subcribe to your opt-in form which puts them on your list The plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/aweber-wordpress-plugin/ The Widget
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/aweber-web-form-widget/

Had to get another designer to give her tips on setting up Aweber.

I'm told to tell you to please be sure to install BOTH the plugin and widget.

I know the aweber plugin works, I've used it for various clients. However, I do not know what you signed up for. Especially since you did not get a html code to install in the site. The plugin is free. Hence, my question :)

--------------------------
He says if you want him to install them he will, but you don't get code. He says just install both of them please.

100% clarity Thanks a bundle

If no, I need your username and password. As, well as aweber id to set up the forms for booking you to speak, web forms, and the sidebar for Fit Talk News.

This was 2 days prior to the website needing to be wrapped up and she still had all of these unresolved issues and last minute requests of me, NOT to mention, that this was the very first time, since 11/24/10 that I had even been given a mock up, the mock up turned into the actual site that I never approved to begin with.

She is the most unprofessional business person on the face of the planet. I am disgusted by her customer service, lack of empathy for her clients, and unethically willing to do or say anything to make a dollar. I want my MONEY BACK IN FULL! And NEVER will do business with such a GROTESQUE person again!
