Geeksonsteroids Reviews

I’ve been in the web design and development business for the last 8 years and I can honestly say that there are times when you run into problems with a client. In most cases we refund the money and leave it at that but there are clients that either want more than a refund or the refund is just too much of a stretch.

I had a lady two years ago that we finished a site for and she could not find the password and login for her domain name. I started off trying to help her but she was rude, ugly and insisted that it was my fault and I’d either find the password and login or give her a refund. The problem was that the site was finished and it wasn’t my fault that she could not find the user name and password.

I refused to give her a refund and we fault it out through PayPal, she lost and immediately started posted lies all of the internet on sites like Rip Off Reports as well as others about my business.

Then there was the lady who is still a customer of mine but when her email got over looked she went crazy posting stuff about my business online. The next day when I answered her email she apologized and tried to have the sites remove the information but they refused. They didn’t care rather it was a mistake or not.

You see, sites like Rip Off Reports makes lots of money by blackmailing website owners into paying to have information removed. Rip Off Reports has been sued so many times that it’s not even funny.

But the real problem with these sites is that anyone can post on them. The competition can make up some lies and post them online.

Then they target the websites name like Geeks on Steroids.

The hope is that we find the bad review and pay them to remove it or for the competition that our clients find them and decide not to do business with us. Rather I am innocent or not is of no concern to these people. The truly sad part is that we bend over backwards to take care of our clients and we are repaid with our competition pretending to be clients and writing bad things about our company.

I guess there are more “How to Get Rich” websites then there are websites actually selling a product.

The reason for this is most people do not know how to make money online so instead of building a website that sells a real product or service (something they are unable to do) they build websites that sell information on how to make money online.

If I said that 98% of all websites online are not making money, I’d feel like that number was too low.

The sad truth is that there a more people designing websites then there are people making money with their websites. Most Web designers use call centers, newspaper ads, yellow page ads, and other means of off-line advertising to drum up customers.

I am telling you this because I want you to understand that making a living online is not something easily done. It takes hard work and dedication or lots of money.
There are certain steps needed to make a living online and none of the step are more important than the next.

The first of course is the website design.

The purpose of the website design is to get the attention of the web visitor. When someone lands on the site you have 3 seconds to get their attention and keep them interested.

The website design does not need to be flashy, fancy or show off the talent of a Web designer however it does need to be clean, easy to navigate, easy-to-understand, quick to load and have a call to action that will guide the web visitor in the direction you want them to go.

It sounds like we are taking all the hard work out of the Web design by removing the fancy flashy look but that is far from the truth.

The color of the cart button, the background color, the placement of the call to action, the size of the logo, colors used on the site, text size, text color, font, phone number placement, content, and so much more will affect the reaction of the web visitor when they are on the site.

Other words, a truly affective website is an art unto itself.
