1 YEAR OF LIES AND EMPTY PROMISES!!!
PATRICK WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A FUNCTIONAL WEBSITE!!!
HE NEVER MADE A BACKUP OF THE WEBSITE!!!
I consider him to be incompetent, unreliable, a liar and full of empty promises.
I would NEVER HIRE HIM AGAIN OR RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE!!!!!
BEWARE - PATRICK "PK" WILLIAMS OF "PK WILLIAMS WEB DESIGN" IS A LIAR AND NOT A MAN OF HIS WORD!!
I put an ad on Craigslist looking for a web designer which he answered. He said he could create a website for me that would be exactly what I am looking for. He said Word press and Buddy Press could do everything I am looking for, for the price we agreed on, so I was very, very happy about that. I paid him half the money up front 3-15-16 and the other half as soon as the website was complete 4-17-16. It was a great "looking" website, but unfortunately had sign in problems since day 1. I was getting HUNDREDS of spammers signing onto my site everyday, sometimes up to 5-6-7-800 a day. I told him about this problem and he said he would take care of it. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. After a few weeks he tried to get me to give him $200 to fix the sign on problem, which I did not have. I was very clear on exactly what I wanted, I sent him emails with step by step, A to Z exactly what I wanted, and he said Buddy Press could do it all, plus some extra cool stuff I didn't even expect.
Although the sight looked great, it never functioned properly, therefore was not usable and useless. As soon as the site was done, I asked him to make the changes that I asked for in the original summary I gave him. He said we could meet in person to go over things and make changes. There were a few changes I wanted to make after the site was built, and he said it wouldn't be a problem, he would make all the changes. We met in person 2 or 3 times and talked about the changes he said he was going to make. NO CHANGES WERE EVER MADE. He said he was too busy to meet in person, that I should email him the changes, and he would make the changes right away. NO CHANGES WERE EVER MADE. Weeks and months went by and nothing was done. THE SITE WAS USELESS AND WORTHLESS. All I did everyday was sign on the site to delete hundreds of spammers. I never was able to do any advertising for the website cause I could not tell real people from the thousands of spammers.
Patrick "PK" Williams, a so called experienced web designer, NEVER MADE A BACK UP OF MY WEBSITE. After many weeks of owning a worthless website with no real members, all I did everyday was to sign on to delete hundreds, thousands of spammers. One day I clicked on one thing, I thought I was deleting spam, I accidentally erased some stuff off the website. I take responsibility for that, even though the reason I was there in the first place was to delete spam. This is when the site became completely unusable and completely useless. 5-30-16 So I emailed him and asked him if he could fix the problem. I figured at worst he would have to go to the back-up and re-load a few things, which should take a few minutes or an hour or two. This is when I found out he NEVER MADE A BACK-UP OF MY WEBSITE. I was very surprised to find that out.
I emailed him and asked him very nicely if he could fix it. I told him if he could fix it we would be very appreciative, but if he couldn't do it, or didn't want to do it we would completely understand and wouldn't bug him anymore. He told me at this point that because there was no back-up, that it would be quite a bit of more work. So I felt pretty stupid at that point, but he said he knew we were short on cash but he would fix it. If he ever said that it would be too much work to do for no extra payment, I would have completely understand, and either come up with some more cash, or give up on the project. But he said he would fix it. Unfortunately the weeks and months went by, and nothing was done. I have always been very understanding realizing he was busy and was doing me a favor by doing this. When I first told him about these problems, I didn't hear from him for 5 weeks, I figured he was working on it. Finally I emailed him after 5 weeks and asked him what was going on with the website, and THIS IS WHERE THE EMPTY PROMISES STARTED.
From day 1 the website never worked properly 4-17-16. There were several emails, phone calls and text messages to try to get those problems and changes to be made. NO CHANGES WERE EVER MADE AND NO PROBLEMS FIXED. This went on till about 5-16-16, I'm pretty sure about all the dates because I still have all the emails that have gone back and forth. On 5-30-16 I emailed him about the stuff on the website that was erased. NO ANSWER. Then I emailed him again on 6-2-16. NO ANSWER. Then again on 6-6-16. He finally answered on 6-7-16 and told me he would work on the website but he was pretty busy. So I knew he was busy and I didn't want to bug him so I waited a few weeks.
It went on like this for a year
Summary - I paid him $500 for a website and I have nothing.Endless lies read more
