INSIDER SECRETS

INSIDER SECRETS! Read this before they take it down!! I used to work for Webtec and because they're withholding money I'm owed I'm going to spill all their secrets. First of all, 4.8 stars is a lie as these guys have definitely removed negative reviews, it used to be many more, not sure how they're doing it, but they used to have a bunch of negative reviews because negative experiences are extremely common at Webtec. Around 1 in every 8 projects was extremely upset, and of the rest of them only about 2 of the 8 were actually having a good website built for them. So if you want a 25% chance your website is good, go for Webtec. Also, if they've really built over 5,000 websites as they say, why do they only have 165 reviews? Sure they had a different company name before, but most of their business has been done under the new name, so really they should have more. Their timelines are purely wishful thinking, and almost never come through on time, usually taking much longer for seemingly no reason. Their main pitch is that the websites will be "SEO optimized" and you have to know this is 99% marketing fluff and 1% expertise. It sounds really good to say we "optimize for conversions", but in reality we just did whatever the client liked and told them it was optimized. No expert ever looked at the site, unless you're paying top dollar, and even then you had to have a good salesperson who would ask for it to be done. Oh also, those cool websites they have up as examples? Totally fake. The numbers that say they're showing the results of the new website? Also totally fabricated. Fiction. And the salespeople will make themselves out to be experts, but they just have their little pitch and that's it. They don't actually build the website, and barely even design it. Some salespeople will be more involved than others, but that's another crapshoot and hope for the best. Standard procedure is they give it to some ultra-cheap web designer in some faraway country and hope for the best. But there is so much turnover because the CEO doesn't pay his employees very well at all. So Project Managers will change all the time, designers will change, and in this process a lot of clients become very unhappy. They also promise to do a bunch of magical back-end stuff, which almost never actually gets done. They tell you they'll do initial SEO, they usually don't. But that also depended on who was the head of SEO and how many actual projects he had to do, which changes all the time. All I kept hearing was how great the SEO guy was, and then a month or two later he's gone, and now we're hearing how bad he was, but THIS NEW GUY will be great. That repeated like 3 times in 9 months when I was there. There are also a good number of the salespeople who will just flat out lie to you with a smile on their face. Most of them, in fact, will tell you things like they designed the demo, (they didn't) they will be involved in the designing of the new site (not much, if at all), or that you will get free SEO that will do anything or free A/B testing that will tell you something (it won't unless you already have high traffic). Like I said, it's not all bad all the time, but because the CEO is a completely dishonest person and refuses to pay his employees what he owes them, it has to be publicly known what this company really is. A whole lot of fluff, and only a small percentage of the time a good product.
