Posting this review because this company is a genuine danger to any business. If I could give less than one star, I would. -Incredibly difficult to work with and virtually no communication--multiple ignored calls, no updates, and extremely delayed progress -The company took our active site and made it inoperable. We gave them a full working site and after messing up the internal functions, they took down our site to "fix it" (it became abundantly clear they had no idea what they were doing) and delivered back a shell. -We provided them with everything necessary (multiple times- since it was clear many of our emails and requests were ignored). After providing the company with content, login info, contacts for resources--they made our site worse. The site contains none of the content we diligently provided and is worse off than when they received it--non-functional with multiple missing pages, links, copy, incorrect images, etc. It is a mess. And that not even touching upon the internal functions which are now nonexistent. -NEVER hire this company for any job, even a simple one. That is what we did and instead of implementing a new UI, they derailed the whole site to the point it had to be shut down. Then when they said it was ready to go live, it looked worse than before. To make the situation even more terrible-- instead of admitting this colossal error, they acted indignant, rude and blamed us. And that's when they weren't flat out ignoring us. -The company lied and deceived us numerous times--claiming to understand the platforms with which we operated but it became very clear they had zero idea what they were doing. This wasted valuable time and hurt our business and the whole time they said they were "working on it", zero results were provided and essentially loads of time wasted. - Every single timeline given has not been met and the work itself was subpar and extremely slow. The employees greatly damaged the business with no course of correction. And after having done so, stopped communicating while our site sat broken (and they had all the necessary parts to fix it). Absolutely zero professionalism when it comes to our product, time, relations and virtually every other aspect involved. We were told that the negative reviews on their site are from competitors, but that is false. I am shocked they are still in business. Never, EVER hire them.

I hired this company back in November of 2023 to redesign/spruce up my existing website. Was told…read moreit would take 6 weeks. It's now February of 2025 and nothing has been done. No effort has been made on their part to make it right. This is a clear lesson of "you get what you pay for," but I just wish I would have paid NOTHING, because that's exactly what I got. NOTHING. Stay far away from this company as they do not care about their job or their customers.

I hired Dan for a redesign of one of my sites and he was pretty much what he advertises: competent, responsive and reasonably priced. He met the deadlines that we set and did a good job creating a clean, well-designed site. Regrettably, web design and maintenance is getting increasingly complicated and companies like Dan's are more important than ever. I feel good about my experience with him and just wanted other small businesses to know that SWS is a valuable resource.

He gave me the needed template/direction to start compiling the content (photos, project descriptions, bio's, text, etc).

Their pricing is very reasonable and he can do the simplest of sites to very complex interactive sites. The site structure is also very accommodating to my very fluid business needs. I am easily able to update projects myself with their proprietary user/admin interface. Feel free to check it out: www.rdpdev.com.

They knew exactly how to communicate with the least amount of errors. Delivering an outcome that can't be anything less than our company could have expected or desired. Their personalities make it all the more better to work with. If you need something, they have someone! Photographer, menu design, and etc. They have the whole package and resources. Very reasonable pricing for the quality of work they've done. Our business with them does not end with just the proposed service but even throughout our venture as a business owner. I hope to give everyone the same opportunity we have experienced working with them by giving credit to what they have done for us so far. Cheers to this company!

What I find even more troubling is the level of contempt and dismissiveness displayed during this…read moreprocess. As a female business owner running a publication, the developer repeatedly minimized serious functional issues by labeling them as merely "cosmetic." In reality, these were not cosmetic issues at all--they impacted presentation, credibility, and the integrity of a live publication platform. For a business website, particularly a magazine platform, those details matter. Unfortunately, this interaction revealed a deeper issue: a lack of respect for the client's standards and vision. The implication that these concerns were simply "cosmetic" reflects a misunderstanding of professional publishing and the expectations of a serious business owner. Ironically, this experience will likely become material for a future editorial discussion in my magazine's upcoming issue, as it highlights a broader and very real conversation about professionalism, accountability, and how female-led businesses are sometimes dismissed in technical industries.
