Initially, the dweebs at Geek Squad came to mind - but I've used them before and I have never been satisfied with the level of support or the response-time it takes to get someone to commit to helping me by a specified time. To me, the measure of a service provider is the turnaround time. I didn't have 5 days to wait, let alone 48 hours. So I nixed the Geek Squad and took to a local search on the Internet to see if I might find a genius who could nurse my laptop back to life and retrieve my docs. I located a local firm, Element 26, and sent an email inquiry highlighting my problem. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email and a call from Element26 within a few hours of my initial message. By the next day, my computer was operating once more. The gentleman was able to quickly diagnose the issues with my computer and went to work to fix my machine. Amongst the things he did was help partition the computer, eliminate some of the 'clutter' and things that were bugging my operating system that caused the system to crash and/or lock-up. I consider myself fairly advanced with computers, but whatever he did was more behind-the-scenes, under-the-hood-of-the-car-esque. My computer hasn't had a bit of problem since, but if it should, I'm going to speed dial Element 26. Definitely go to them if you're in need of computer support and you don't want to advertise to the world that you've got Geeks on-site who drive white-and-orange VW beetles. And if you're wondering - their guys looks like normal dudes with a healthy skin color who doesn't stay indoors all day to play World of Warcraft and computer games. Recommended for great support, computer expertise, and client focus.

I called and met with Dan at Element TwentySix and he helped me think through my desires and concerns and understand my options. Then he helped me with the design and implementation process.

Now I know something: if it's a doable tech task, Dan can probably do it and promptly. Good guy.

Your Web Guys failed to provide a truly custom website as promised, and refused to provide a…read morerefund. On May 7th 2020, I was sold a "custom" website through Your Web Guys (YWG). I was promised to be walked through the entire process. I was told that pictures would be provided and if something specific was needed, like copywriting, they had plenty of referrals. I was given a timeline that my custom site would be completed in 4-6 weeks, and follow up would be in the next day (or by Monday at the latest). From there in weeks 1-2, I would setup my client portal for communication, have the domain transferred by their team, schedule any pictures or headshots, and after I selected from their available templates, they would spend the next few weeks building. Over a month later on 6/18/20, I had not heard from YWG. I contacted Richard the owner, and he apologized by saying that their new employee had dropped the ball. Soon after I had to find a copywriter to help me write the content because I wasn't given any direction. After I returned the website copy to them, it took a few weeks turn around, which I expected. I received a notice that the site was complete, and I was appalled by what this company considered complete. I questioned the fact that they had simply copied and pasted the 3 pages of content I had sent over into my new website. Richard explained that they only copy and paste, and I would be responsible for fixing anything else. I expected more hand holding as promised. I expected the site to be custom. Instead I got a template website that the content I provided was plugged into. It took 4 months to get the headshots I was told would be done in the 2nd week. 5 months into the project I was finally fed up with no contact or assistance in the design of the site. On 10/12/20, I sent a Demand Letter requesting a refund, where I offered to pay $500 to cover the cost of the pictures. But, I was met with hostility and untruthfulness. I research the clients listed on their website and found out of 131 clients, 3 are duplicates, 14 are not available due to site errors (including mine), and 20 sites are designed and hosted by another provider. I was told that the headshots alone would be $1,500. Which I found to be overpriced, considering the photographer's site states $350 for 3 hours. Richard laughed and said the site was outdated, yet it appears on the client list with a current " 2020 - hosted by YWG" I was repeatedly told that the money I paid had been spent, and there are no refunds. Because YWG had provided me a "completed" custom website. As such I requested a copy of the "invoice", and subsequently did my due diligence on the process of web design. I was charged for: 5/18/20 - 5 hours of script installation into the Content Management System (CMS) - $500 - Which 3 web designers have told me that it would take 1-1.5 hours at the most to load basic data into the CMS - I'm also not sure this happened since they had forgotten about me and the project until I contacted them on 6/18/20 5/20/20 - 1 hour for Domain Setup or Acquisition - $100 - This never happened. Until 10/30/20 my site was still untouched on GoDaddy.com. 5/30/20 - 4 hours of Layout Integration - $400 - Which I have been told by each of the 3 developers that loading the template I choose into the system wouldn't have taken that long since it's a pre-scripted, and I only wanted to change the colors. The layout of the template wasn't actually touched until August. Again the dates seem off here since they had forgotten about me and the project until I contacted them on 6/18/20 7/30/20 - 3 hours of Content Integration - $300 - Which I'll direct you back to the conversation with Richard in which he told me that the developer copied and pasted into my site. I'm not sure what else to say at this point, besides reiterating how bad this experience has been and how promises that were made were not kept. I don't like that they continue to blame and bully me for their lack of communication and service, and refuse to provide a refund.

If I have a concern or problem they are immediately available by phone, text, or email. Actually, they have usually solved the problem without my even being aware of its existence. I don't have either the time or the expertise to manage all the things they take care of. I can unequivocally recommend Rise Local to anyone who is wanting to have a relationship with a company that makes you feel like they are as interested in the success of your company as you are.
