My experience:

My partner and I paid this company upwards of $7000. What did we get for this large sum of money?

1) A website that doesn't function
2) A website that doesn't look up to standard. You're better off hiring off elance or odesk.
3) $7000 in the hole and a set back of about a year.

the websites we hired them to build was www.teamshuffle.com. What was delivered is best described through an analogy. Imagine a company pitching you their services for creating an awesome door. You're sold on the image and their friendliness. They then deliver the door and it turns out to be a piece of card board that vaguely looks like the one that was pitched. This is how my experience was with the website.

I had to take down the website due to its lack of functionality and appeal. What they do is they outsource their development to pakistan/india and charge a premium.

I brought this to the attention of Nauman, who was quick to help, but really, he's been trying to "help" for the last 2-3 months. There is nothing to show. The bugs aren't even fixed yet. He's promised me that he'd get back to me about a time line and also that the site would be redeveloped for appearance at no cost, due to the initial shotty workmanship. Well I can tell you this, he didn't follow through. He even tried to get more money from me. I told him no, for obvious reasons.

DO NOT WORK WITH THEM. CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE IF YOU'D LIKE MORE INFORMATION.

If you want to talk to me about this guy send me an email at jonluu@boardered.com I'd be happy to discuss and provide reasons why you shouldn't hire this guy.

My experience:

I found this guy on craigslist and we spoke briefly, very friendly and responsive. We had an agreement, I paid him a portion of the fees upfront and then I started to hear from him infrequently. I gave him $800 sometime in september 2012. He sent me a link a few weeks back but other than that I have not heard from him. He has not consulted me with designs, has not made any effort to contact me. Once the first phase of the project is done, I'm not hiring him ever and I do not recommend hiring him. I'm not sure about other people's experience, but my experience with him was horrible.

DO NOT HIRE HIM.
