WebDev.Guru Reviews

  • Mar 1, 2016

I posted a job on Elance to get bids for building a website, and after viewing a lot of portfolios and job histories I chose to have WebDev.Guru (TeamIntel) do the project. The total cost was going to be roughly $3500 USD, and it was supposed to take 3-4 weeks to complete.

The project started off well, and progress was made fairly rapidly. I paid for a few portions of the project as they were finished, but I was holding onto a majority of the funds until the project was complete.

Before the project was complete, Njit Singh, who was the project manager, told me that had a family emergency and asked if I could do him a "personal favor" by releasing the remaining funds early so that he could take care of the emergency. Since the project had been going very well up to that point, I agreed, and he said that he would make sure our project was finished up very quickly once he got back from taking care of the emergency.

A few weeks later Njit returned, and said that the prject would be all the way finished the next week. But the next week came and went without any progress, and then the next came and went as well. So I asked what was going on, and Njit said that the developers in the United Arab Emirates get a mandatory 1 month vacation, and that all of his developers were going to be out for the next month. Say what?! My three week project was now going to be a 2-3 month project.

So, I waited the month and then asked for progress updates, but Njit was very slow to respond and when he did respond he said that the guys weren't quite back yet. So I waited a few more weeks. Then Njit said that the project was being worked on again and it should be done within a day or two. Yay! Or so I thought. The day or two turned in another month with no updates.

And then a new person (Ronit S) was assigned to work on the project and he told me that it would all be finished within a couple of days. A few weeks passed, and when I inquired as to the status I was told that he hadn't been in the country for the last couple of weeks, but that it would be done by "Monday" (said on a Thursday). So I waited for Monday, but that came and went without any word from them. Then the next passed. And the next.

It has now been six months since the last update, and six months since I paid in advance as a "personal favor" to Njit Singh.
