    I have removed some posts while I try to decide if they should be allowed or not. I don't want to censor the thread, but I don't want anything that could potentially lead to trouble either.

    I understand Aidan, its quite a mouthful but I'm only expressing my anger and trying to inform others of his poor service

    From looking at their sales site (which is terrible on the eyes!!)
    They do charge FROM 395 upwards, so I would expect they often end up adding in extras (such as SEO placement etc) to increase the price after the customer bites.

    I wouldnt think that a website with 3 locations: Kildare, Cork, Galway would make much money from 395 per site. Unless they got maintenance and other extras from each site.

    Their website has about 20k worth of samples from 2006 onwards.
    If there were only 3 guys one in each location they would need to be winning 3 websites a week to make a basic minimum wage.

    The admin alone in that process would be hell.
    Why work your a** off for very little gain??!

    I think they would have to have a much higher average charge per site. Around 600 or so.

    They are trying to be the Ryanair of webdesign. Not everyone that uses them has to like them...it's all about the perception of value for money.
    In the end they might pay the going rate after the Ryanair-type extras are added on...

    :D

    This page says "Complete Small Business Web Solution for €349 ex VAT". Doesn't seem to imply a sliding scale.

    Oops, followed his post only :D

    Might I add their webpage is also a template which isn't very promising. The few client websites I checked out are all existing Joomlo templates so again, not a 'Web Design' company.

    Plus signing up to boards just to reply to get work isn't a good sign either.

    Yep, the first thing I thought was that it was a very generic looking site.

    That said, if they can really offer a CMS, eCommerce solution along with a half decent site for €349 then I am pretty impressed. Even if that's just re-branding open source packages for all three, it's pretty cheap.

    Off to specsavers with you!

    LOL, very odd indeed. I only got my eyes zapped, I'm getting worried.

    I'm looking at their frontpage: http://www.marcommedia.ie/ without the params.
    Screenshot Attached.

    Ah, I stand corrected. Sort of!


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,579 ✭✭✭Webmonkey


    Jees that is really quite strange isn't it? That was definetely 349 before on the front page. They must have a typo somewhere. Which is it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 littlegreenman


    Eoin is looking at a different page, that offers the same I think.
    They are two different links


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,579 ✭✭✭Webmonkey


    Yep but they both are the same product as far as I can see. But the actual homepage definetely had 349 a week ago as that the one I was looking at.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 littlegreenman


    I dropped them a line, and gave them a head's up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 Marcom Media


    All,
    The price on the frontpage offer was a typo which has been corrected.

    The actual offer is:
