I just wanted to share my experiences with this company called XHTML Junkies. I hired them to convert a psd to wordpress. Before paying them I spoke with one their developers about the work I needed done and told them exactly what I needed. I was given a quote of 128 for the work. I sent payment over along with the psd file and a jpg file showing how it needed to look afterwards. I also attached a summary of what needed to be done as we had discussed prior to payment. A few days later they sent me a wordpress theme that was incomplete, nonfunctioning, and stolen from somewhere else. I asked for a refund, that they 100% guarantee on their site, to have it refused. Showing that they are not only unprofessional but also lying thieves. This is a the conversation that I had with them. It goes into a lot more of the problems I had with them. They lied to me throughout the entire convo. Ignored all the issues and kept trying to focus on something else that they also did wrongly XHTML Junkies jenny 9:17:33 AM Hello noah, my name is jenny, how may I help you?

It lists each page in the widgets area
like it is supposed to but when I add the widgets to it they do not show
up on the page.
There are 2 files attached. One is the changedneeddone.png file with notes
on what needs fixed.
The other is a preview of the design next to the inner page that you can
reference to see how the changes need to look. so that is still not done and is something i was told prior to payment that it would do also in that email was an attachment with things that they did not do such as even basic styling which was part of the psd so they DID NOT follow the psd the styling they used was STOLEN from another persons wordpress theme jenny 9:32:21 AM no they are doing coding them self.. noah 9:32:29 AM no they arent /*

I posted a report on ripoff report and it appears your site has pulled it onto yours through a feed of some sort.

Anyways the company I posted about saw this report amoung many others that I posted and has agreed to fullfill their half of the agreement and complete my work as discussed.

They want this post removed in prior to doing so as they have already lost 4 clients that I am aware of because of all the bad reviews I posted.

Can I get

removed for the time being. I will be posting all of this back up if they go back on their word or trying anything fishy.
