Report
We chose this company to help out in the design of our project they lied about their abilities, they don't tell you the total cost and string you along ! They outsource everything and just take money for outsourcing! They waste your time and overcharge you with the services that someone else is doing for them without telling you ! Their design was written by hand and they charged arm and leg for it! We found some who cares and charge reasonable and we fired this inapt group but they charge for the services anyway ! They are criminal and their licenses if they have any should be taken away
