    I have contracted for website development, maintenance, security and hosting services (PETINTERACTIVES. COM) from this company. They have repeatedly failed to deliver, are largely un-responsive and my website is largely unfunctional as well as less than professional in appearance.For instance, there is no way to purchase my product, pay for it, or get it delivered to any potential customer. This has gone on for over a year and my site is still not functioning properly. Which means they are hosting a site that is useless as well.

    We purchased a logo design and website from this company. At the time of purchase, I was informed that I was purchasing all that was needed to effectively run my website as well as have the domain name registered and the website hosted by the company. Every few months or so since having the website designed the company demands more money for additions or services that are needed to keep us compliant or keep our website up and running. We were never informed that there would be any additional services required or further money needed once our initial contract was signed with this company. After doing some research, I decided to have the domain name and website transferred over to me and no longer use this company as a host. As I have already purchased the domain name and website I requested that both be transferred over to my ownership willing to take the loss of the contract for five years of hosting and be done. The company shut down my website, claiming that it was not meeting compliance for the disability act, and that due to the fact that the website was not live they were unable to transfer ownership over to me. Theyre refusing to start the process of transferring ownership until I pay them thousands of dollars more to bring the website up to compliance with the disability act. At this time, I no longer trust this company and Im not willing to pay any more money to them. It has been made obvious to me that they are structured to take advantage of people uneducated in field.

    I hired this company to redesign my website. During the initial contact I was very clear that I have an IT company that I use and that I would continue to use them for my servicing, I just needed the graphics updated. They assured me that would be no problem. I paid them $975 to redesign my website. Once the graphics were done, which I never saw, they told me that I would have to pay more monthly for them to host my website. I explained to them that I have a computer company that does that. They would not and still have not sent over the designs that they claimed to have come up with. They refuse to unless I agree to pay more money

    This company reached out to me and offered to create a logo for my business. They also wanted to build a website for me. They created a logo for me and I paid them for their services. Afterwards they asked me if I would like to trademark the logo because "I cannot use the logo without a trademark". I agreed to have the logo trademarked so I could use the logo I had just paid for. They charged me their "premium price" to have my logo trademarked across all of *************. Without further explanation they told me that the money I paid them would provide me with ownership of the logo and complete the trademark process. However, months later, I received an email from the ***** stating that the logo application had not been completed due to numerous legal codes violations. I contacted Creative Design Crew and explained this to them and asked why the application had not been completed. They told me that my ownership had expired and that I would have to pay for ownership again. They also told me they would not be correcting the legal code violations on the application. In order to complete the application process they were expecting me to pay hundreds more to complete a process that their "premium price" should've covered. I told them that I felt it was not fair for me to continue paying more money for a service that should've already been completed (which I had paid for months prior). Now I'm stuck possibly having to pay hundreds of dollars to cancel the trademark application process or pay hundreds of dollars to complete it. The company was misleading me for months and telling me they were providing a service that still has yet to been completed. I'm stuck either paying them hundreds of dollars or paying the ***** hundreds of dollars.

    The company and employees were extremely unprofessional the entire time we were engaged with them. We hired them to build a website for us and do social media/SEO and they could barely even follow simple written instructions on the text we provided to fill in the website. They refused the do the work we hired them to do and they are now holding our website hostage. They are a complete scam of a company and need to be shut down and held accountable for their actions.

    After designing the logo in 2023, I paid a logo registration fee to the company over the phone. Later, they called again, claiming I needed to pay more because of additional fees. I tried to withdraw the registration but they requested a cancelation fee of $200 without any signed agreement. Suspicious of the varying prices provided by different agents, I recorded all my interactions. During a final call, the supposed legal head, offered lifetime ownership of the logo for around $400 in 3-4 months. He also claimed that all other calls I got were ppl pretending to be the company staff which is untrue because I contact the company for verification. Despite my skepticism, I paid, insisting on an email confirmation. Four months later, with no paperwork received, the 'legal head' called to say the registration had expired and needed renewal. Reminding him of our agreement, he denied it until I forwarded the email and mentioned the recordings. Suddenly, he claimed it was a misunderstanding, attributing it to customers with the same name and accusing my assistant of handling emails. I do not have an assistant. It's clear he's intentionally deceiving people and trying to evade responsibility through deception.

    I started working with this business in 2022, from that point to the Date I spent nearly ****** dollars for services that they didn't fully provided, they built me a website and refused to give me access to it, I buy 5 domain through them and they refused to transfer to me, also paid for hosting services for 10 years, they restricted access to my emails for about 6 months which lead me to lost alot of customers, I paid for 6 months of social media management and ads, they did posting but only did like 2 weeks of advertising instead of the 6 months I paid for, my website has been down for almost a year because I refused to pay them 1500 dollars to remove a filter that they installed so my customers don't have access to the site, to the day I haven't been able to speak with the company manager, this business has been operating like scammers and it's been a real struggle to get access to the things I paid for.

    I contacted creativedesigncrew.com to create a logo for my business, The Popcorn King. They created the logo and I am happy with the result. After the logo was completed the project manager, ****, persuaded me to build a website. Before I accepted to have them make a website I was given a sample website about my company. I paid them in two installments for the creation of the website. After a month of poor communication between the two of us I asked for a refund. I stated that I did not have time to use a website because I am currently a full time student attending ****************************. Due to the fact I am a full time student I cannot manage a business or a website. With that reasoning I asked for a refund. **** then told me that he thought my company was going to do good but now he does not think my company will do good. When **** said that I asked for his manager. His manager told me they have put too much time into the website and I must complete the website and I will not receive a refund. I do not need the website, they did not put a lot of time into building the website, and I had the workers tell me that my company is not going to do good. I do not feel their company is favoring my best interests. I asked their company for a refund on August 23rd, 2023. After they denied the refund **** convinced me to give him product information. I had time for one product, but I am too busy with school to run the business or create a website. They contacted me today stating I need to complete the website. I do not need a website at this time. I have attached a credit card statement with a $900 transaction. I could not find proof of the next transaction, but it was worth $700. The company directly insulted me and is forcing me to complete a project I do not want to complete. The website is not finished and I am not giving anymore input. I have attached a word document with the current website design. I never received proof of a refund or return policy.
