DONT DO IT! This people would tell you things the would not happen! They would call you every month with something new, every time they need money they come out with an excuse! I had pay already over $4000 and they keep asking for more hosting was supposed to be for 3 years now they said it was only for one year! And their lawyer( if he's even a lawyer) will call you and ask you to take the review down and ask you to sing a form that you will never put a bad review again and they will fix the issue! Its that even legal?

I fell victim to this if you can call business when I hired them to do my site. Anywhere you see high rating is paid or they make the reviewer remove the review. It was for a simple HOA I explained the pages and they kept wanting to treat me like a for profit business and not listening to what I said I was looking for. After the initial price which sounded decent they strong arm you into their design for extra, then was told that what I wanted couldnt be done I needed to go to their platform where they can host it. Since I declined I got a wordpress design with standard templates from Elementor. After a month of back in forth I wrote a review that they did not like and was "asked" to take it down so we can continue and they try to fix my concerns. I went into details showed screenshots and examples on other pages and still failed. I asked to remove extra plugins that wasnt used to easily maintain which ones needed to be renewed and they wanted me to go through them to maintain the site instead of myself. In less than 6 months into the year where they said they would maintain the site and updates almost all the plugins failed due to subscriptions outdated and when asked where on the site I needed that plug in they couldnt tell me. I had 2 plugins for managing members and 2 for forms then was told that the forms I wanted couldnt be done unless I was on their platform and paid extra. They were pdf fillable forms already created and when added to the site they tried to turn it into an email not a form. Later wordpress updated and I was sent an urgent email that I needed to pay extra to update an HTML issue or could be open to hacking. I updated for this issue as per finding in google and no issues. Now almost at my year mark I was called and told that my site violates copyright laws and needed a badge that their lawyers can file for at a price after a long threating call and was told they would send me an email to sign saying they would not be liable for the site getting shutdown for copyright I received no email just a call a month later stating the same thing again less than 30 to add a badge to the HTML code and the issue was solved for free where they wanted to charge $400. This company is borderline a scam.

Began my project for a stand-alone sales website. It needed to sync with other sales sites with my goods. Everything was "no problem" and "of course." Promised no more charges after a couple of upgrades with a 6-9 month completion deadline. This deadline was never established by myself but was contracted by them. The changed the deadline over 12 times and have yet to honor their contract. It has now been over 2 years with nothing more than some cut-and-paste main pages without the agreed upon stuff on them. I am STILL waiting on them to honor their contract and finish my site.
In these two years, the company has changed their name three times. They began as Visionary Web Studios to Visionary Web Design, and now they're Website Design Tree. It makes me wonder how many lawsuits and "customers" they are trying to hide from. In my 25+ years of business, I have not came across a more deceitful and dishonorable company.
Avoid this company at all costs.
