Beware of SquarePeg Web Design – Square Peg Web Design Are Crooks!
Recently, it was brought to our attention that a web development firm called www.squarepegweb.com – which seems to be a subsidiary of www.e4mediagroup.com was showcasing our company www.exceldiamonds.com, in their portfolio section, promoting us as “one of their clients”.
We are not clients of theirs and actually never even heard of them until this screenshot below was sent to our attention:
Naturally, we immediately contacted Square Peg Web Design and were told that they outsource to an Indian company who actually creates much of their work and who they claimed was responsible for fraudulently claiming that they had created our website.
We talked to Square Peg and they immediately took the site off their portfolio. They further apologized for not doing their due diligence in order to ascertain and validate whether our website (and perhaps others?) was actually designed by this “Indian Designer”.
Was this an honest mistake on the part of www.squarepegdesign.com?
We’d like to think so.
Sadly, it seems that Square Peg Web already has a reputation for shady practices.
In fact, upon further review of their website, they make a big to do over here about the importance of hiring a web designer who will actually do the work in-house and not outsource it…yet…..Square Peg Web Design is not only guilty of outsourcing themselves…what’s even worse is that they didn’t even design their own website!
Instead, they purchased a boiler plate solution from another company!! Click here.
…Just boggles the mind….
Very unfortunate.
