She spent all of 2-3 minutes on the phone with me before abruptly saying she could send me some information--though it wouldn't be a full proposal. Um, aren't you a PR firm? Don't you want clients? You have no idea what my budget is, my capacity, my commitment to this... As someone who, in another era of her life, was a VP of sales, I understand having to allocate one's energy and creative resources accordingly--there are lots of time wasters out there; but I also know enough that you can never assume too much about a client until you've had a proper conversation with them. At the very least, follow-up with your non-proposal proposal--many clients I assumed wouldn't bring any proper offers often surprised me and sometimes became my best clients. I felt she took no time to get to know me or my needs, assumed whatever was convenient for her to assume and got off the phone as quickly as possible. I've still yet to receive my non-proposal proposal--a week later. If she were too busy to take on new clients or simply uninterested, I would have no issue: honesty speaks volumes about character, integrity and work ethic rather than unprofessional disregard.

I definitely suggest working with them especially if you are a person that really does not understand the world of web building but you need a GREAT website and you want to work with a company that does not make you feel bad for that and will work with you to understand what you are doing and what will be the best options for your site.

I brought my computer in for a specific problem, but it turned out to be a non-issue and a simple fix.

When we asked for the other deliverables and asked to pause the contract to make sure we could review the first month of work they became defensive, forced us to pay for another month with their 30-day cancellation policy but refused to deliver any of the promised work. They are much more interested in getting all they can from clients than delivering on their promises. Avoid at all costs.

He genuinely wanted to help me create a site that would function best for my needs and services. He gave me three concept designs that were all AWESOME!! I had a hard time choosing. Pepperlillies prices were competitive and reasonable to other design shops and they went the extra mile for me. THANKS PEPPERLILLIE!!!
