Be careful with a company named BusinessWebsite Inc
On 12/3/2024 I hired a company named Business website Inc to create a website for a medical staffing business I was starting, I paid them $5237.00, to begin the work on my website and then I made an additional payment on 12/17/2024 for $4617.00 for a total of $9854.00 This was supposed to provide me with an exceptional website with all upgraded development, designs, create the front and backend including the login and sign on pages for the website to accommodate the needs of on online medical staffing platform. They promised that i would own the website and all control of the website and they would complete the website in three months. After working with multiple lead managers and supervisors, and general managers the website was still not completed and finally I began working with someone named Abraham who was extremely helpful but the project really consisted of delay after delay. During the development process I called them to add additional encryption and two factor authentication to the website to protect the website and for the protection for my clients and employee profiles and portals.on3/14/2025 I paid them $3,497.00 and on 3/27/2025 i paid the balance of $1,497.00 for a total of $4,994.00 to build in security features and a web domain that was supposed to be for the life of the website. It took over 11 months to complete and i accepted the website as is because i thought i owned the website and can make any updates and changes on my own since i owned the website. About a month ago my website was shut down and removed from accessing. I get a call from a rep from the website developer and says his name is Jason Cole, and i have to pay the company $2,600.00 to re establish my website and put it back online (because only they can add plug ins and other updates that my website needed) I explained to him that I owned the website and I should be able to do it on my own, and my website is barley a year old and should not need everything he claimed i needed at that time my website went dead/offline. i called the company number that i used in the past to deal with the company and i spoke with Jason on 4/13/2026 and negotiated the price down to $1,200.00 with a deposit of $700.00 and my website would be updated and go live within 24 hours and the remaining $500.00 would be paid on 4/17/2026 as long as my website is back online and updated, on 4/15/2026 my website was back online but my backend was not updated. On 4/17/2026 when i spoke to Jason that my website was worse and tampered with he promised that they would complete the additional work within one week. Because of my previous experience with the hundreds of back and forth phone calls, google meets, text messages and emails I did not trust or believe his promise and offered to give his company $250.00 on 4/17/2026 and the remaining $250.00 when the job was complete he refused transfered me to someone named Steve from the billing department who again assured me the work would be done, I finally agreed to pay the balance of $500.00 because I just wanted my website back when they processed the $500.00 my bank declined the charge because it appeared to be fraud. When I spoke to Steve he just ask me to call the bank and approve the transaction, at this point i was extremely frustrated and looked into it. When i first started making payments to them i was being charged by a company called "APPMI* BUSINESSWEBSITE" for my transactions on 12/3/2024, 12/17/2024, 3/14/2025, 3/27/2025 then on 4/13/2026 they were billing me from a company called "DIGITAL TECH LLC", AND ON 4/17/2026 THEY TRYED TO PROCESS A PAYMENT THROUGH A COMPANY NAMED "THE PRO WEBSITE DESIGN LLC", when i questioned Steve about this, his response was incoherent an Jason got back on the phone and once again demanded the payment and within a couple of hours my website went down again. Now I have no website
Be very careful dealing with this company. I would suggest you avoid them. I’ve filed a complaint with the FTC, the State of California Attorney General Office and the BBB. Let’s see what happens
