BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Company Music Promotion I am the Songwriter, Singer, Musician and Music Producer of the music displayed on the site.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Markup Designs, and what were your goals?

Our website was limited and didn't have the structure to be able to fill streaming orders, sell merchandise and book concerts. So many hours were spent on the phone filling demand.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

A representative reached out to me and offered to redo my website, sent me samples and offered to do it at a fair price.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

I create music through Logic Pro X and streaming stores all over the world have listeners who stream the music. The problem with that is my business receives less than a penny each time a song is streamed and on some sites they won't even pay you unless you have 10,000 followers or more. So I wanted to sell my music directly to my fans and make a better living from it.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I worked directly with the director Nigel and no one else.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The site is just completed today, so I can't say for sure if it was a worth while investment, but it certainly wouldn't be their fault. They did an excellent job of addressing all my issues with the old site and made a beautiful new one.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

I usually got an answer within 24 hours by email and updates daily as we progressed through the project.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their willingness to meet all my demands in a timely manner was outstanding!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I am the type who rather talk on the telephone instead of email. But the world has changed where email has become the norm. To improve their communication, a call now and then would have been better in my eyes.

Pricing fit our budget

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We had hired Markup Designs in the past and they did a good job. For the latest project I was asked to send $2,600 up front and they would get to work on our project. Months went by with lots of excuses but no progress. Nigel S. and Gaurav were who I was working with, they said they were moving offices, and this was why they hadn't done anything. Then weeks later Nigel said he was ill. 
It was just an excuse after excuse. Finally, they agreed to refund my money. This was six months ago. Now they went dark and won't reply. So, they basically took $2,600 US dollars and did absolutely NOTHING. I would steer clear of this company. They lie and steal. 
I have the email correspondence to prove my claim, as well as a PayPal transaction. It so unethical and actually criminal to do business like this. I tried for months to get my money back and they kept saying they would refund it-but it was all a lie. Now they don't respond to my emails any longer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

They did absolutely nothing. They asked me what I wanted to have done, gave a price, requested I pay $2,600 of it up front to get started and then did nothing. Do not trust this company,.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They failed on every level. Poor communication, delivered on none of their promises. Lied to me repeatedly.
