If you're not satisfied with your website and are looking for a user friendly, savvy tech company…read morefor a reasonable price, then I highly recommend T324 on Solano Avenue in Albany. They offer a full range of services, all backed with a highly efficient organization for tracking customers' needs and staff who are always available, patient, and ready to assist. I needed a way to enter my own website (in Dreamweaver) and do edits and additions myself, and to be able to write and send out my monthly newsletter. The staff took me through every step and worked with me until I got the process working for myself. The owner, David Daniels, has lived in the area all his life and comes from a family that had a successful local business, so T324, even though it is a tech company, has the flavor of a neighborhood/community oriented company. Very easy to do business with.

The business needed a professional and effective website, something which would be easy to view, navigate and read. Affarei met with myself and the Founder of the company and we agreed upon advertising by use of a website. I gave Affarei all the pictures we had which portrayed the most of what our business is about and they did an amazing job touching up the pictures and placing them in an appealing order. Being apart of a small business, I did not have the most available time to provide Affarei with all the literature and descriptions of the type of work we do, however, they wrote pages beyond pages explaining the type of work and services we offer. They most definitely delivered more than expected throughout planning process, trail/proofing stages, and the final product. They were very easy to work with, displayed the utmost professionalism and kept me updated in order to stay on top of this process. I would recommend Affarei to anyone who is need of a website, superior SEO, and all other marketing materials. These guys were able to get the job done in a fashionable amount of time and have added new customers to our list within the first month of our website being launched.

His team delivered with precision and far exceeded our expectations with both a large LED screen and several sets of speakers. Both the sound and visual were exactly what we were looking for. He came ahead of the event for a walk through and evaluated what would work best. Seeing the space, he recommended something that made more sense than what we had originally asked for. The sound was synced perfectly with no delay, even for those seated far from the screen. In fact, no matter where you were physically in the large space the sound was the same--unlike other concerts I've been too where the speakers either blow you away or aren't loud enough depending on where you are. It was loud enough to be immersive without being overpowering. I am in awe of how he did it! He was prepared with all the necessary cords and adapters to have a hard internet connection with WiFi as backup so there was no risk of glitches. I would definitely recommend Ya-Wave and will use them again for future events like this.

He's awesome and I have zero reservations giving him a 5-star review here on Yelp. Gabe knows the web inside and out. He understand the guts of it all. That means he goes WAY beyond just building a website. He's very resourceful and can code up functionality faster than anyone I have ever worked with. In past projects, I've emailed him with a request for custom functionality and had the feature online two hours later. When he's working on your stuff, there's no one better. Beyond his abilities as a coder and web developer, Gabe is also a really good guy. He's honest and communicates candidly. You always know what the deal is. If your request is unreasonable, he will tell you right away and suggest other options that make more sense. After working with him for a while, you'll find yourself wanting to get his opinion on all of your decisions. He's a great sounding board and has true expertise in the field. My past projects with Gabe have included WordPress websites, custom-coded websites, graphic design and email marketing platforms. He's been invaluable in every case. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any specific questions about Gabe or Today Webpage.

He also came through with a clear solution when www.healthpointe.net went down overnight due to hosting server issues. I can truly say that he has a natural talent for finding existing problems as well as anticipating future problems. I highly recommend him for his ingenious web skills!

Can I give this business a ZERO star rating? Is it possible, because if it were, these guys would…read moredeserve it. I mean, "stars" are cool, they're nice symbols, even if you only see ONE. SWB Consulting doesn't even deserve a single star, NOT A ONE. OMG, this was a nightmare on just about every level you can possibly imagine for a business to business scenario. Let's say this was on the grandest over budget B-movie Horror scale of things, with plenty of gore, bad special effects, cost over runs, bad actors, and bad timing. On the comedic side of things, this could have been a laugh riot of "The Office" level proportions. Laugh, cry, or scream...it cannot begin to describe the utter horror or horrors. We hired SWB in good faith to help us author and code our new websites. Our initial meeting was pleasant and they smiled, promised us the moon and understood "exactly" what we wanted. They did have good examples of work they previously completed for other clients, so that inspired confidence as well as the owner of SWB who was professional and receptive. After we sent in our deposit...the true terror began. The hockey mask went on, the "chee chee cheee cheee" sound track turned on and SWB Consulting proved themselves to be the absolute worst company to work with in almost every way. I will say their only positive asset was their project manager(new) who replaced their original, who was initially tasked with our projects. He tried to salvage the complete mess left from their previous project manager and the series of developers who proved their incompetence time and time again...for over 18 months! YES, 18 months! Ultimately, even he could not bring back to life anything that was already done. Our websites were errors built ontop of errors with sloppy sutures and dirty, infected band aids culminating in the most monstrous Franken-mess imaginable. We would have axed the relationship mid way thru, but we were already deeply invested and paid out a significant amount of money for the "work" done. After a new do or die meeting with SWB's CEO, promises were made with pleading sincere eyes, stories were shared of their original project manager being fired and then peeing in their office coffee pot were revealed, admittances of missing files and emails, and fingers pointing at mysterious partner developers who were to blame, all came to light. We gave them a 2nd chance in the hopes our preliminary graphical layout work and money were not all in vain, but in the end it was all for naught. There were virtually nothing but rotting pages and admin 'functions". Nothing worked. Everything presented to us by SWB required us to discover the bugs, which were of epic proportions, like buckets and buckets of stale congealed blood. Nothing could reanimate this monster. It was a total loss and at GREAT expense. SWB made no offer of credit, partial refund, compensation of an incomplete project which went grossly over budget, wholly defective, and behind schedule. When we tried to call and email Sebastian the CEO, none were returned. SWB Consulting(should actually be changed to "Insulting") could and should be brought up on fraud. Their business practices were and are criminal. I will take the blame for being suckered into their nefarious scheming. My bad, and a very expensive one at that. Well, if there is really karmic pay back in this universe, SWB will surely burn in Hell. In Hell, may they bunk next to Pinhead and fight over maggoty scraps with mobs of stinking zombies. Shame on you SWB, shame on you Sebastian... If ANYONE has heard of, or was considering using these people, you have been warned. DO NOT engage with any business dealings with SWB Consulting. You WILL BE SORRY. STAAAAAAYYYYYYY AWWAAAAYyyyyyyyyyy, SSsstaayyy Aawaaayyyyy!!! (insert rattling chains and "wooo woooing" tortured ghost sounds here). :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Since posting this review I have had numerous msgs thanking me for the cautionary review of SWB as well as a few msgs sharing similar experiences as unhappy clients. It's a damned shame when a service provider is so amazingly underwhelming if not outright maliciously negligent. I truly hope that no one else would have to experience what we went thru with SWB. Thank you to all wrote me for the support and similar negative testimonials.

I only wish I had researched this company further to see the experiences other people had with…read morethem. I had the same experience as Patrick - our project was a complete disaster I received no product for my work and Sebastian (the CEO) and SWB Consulting refused to return me my sizable deposit. We had many meetings where they promised us the world. They came and visited our event on-site to see how we run it, and they came and sat in my office for 5 hours telling us they could do everything we asked of them. In the end, they could do NONE of what they promised. They promised many "out of the box" features that they would tweak slightly. Well, as it turns out, they barely have these features and they don't even have the technical know-how to change their basic options much less any that are much more complicated. We had an expensive project, and the complete change orders that they initially submitted were on a 10-page Word document with 4 pages devoted to how my employees were gonna log-in. It became so clear to me that SWB had no clue how to deliver the product they had promised to me. I called up the next day to cancel the agreement and to get my money back. That was December 2009. It is now July 2010 and SWB still refuses to give back any of our deposit. Sebastian refuses to take my calls or even answer any emails, and every time I call his other colleagues Nima and Colleen will have "just stepped out". He sent an email in March 2010 saying he would give back ~20% of my deposit which, exasperated beyond belief, I agreed to. And now he won't even send THAT!!! If I could give them 0 stars I would. This has been the absolute worst company I have ever dealt with.
