Client Review on DjangoForce, LLC

What was the best part of the experience?

Not a positive experience AT ALL. Selecting developers to build your Web Portal, IT project, or CRM integration is a BIG decision. We advise proceeding with GREAT caution.....

What would you change about the experience?

We are currently in a very serious dispute with DJangoForce (Jason Martin, Richie Ward, and Patrick Falvey). We are out many tens of thousands of dollars with only a partially completed product in hand. We are considering and probably will pursue litigation to recover our losses. Let me say also that in 25 years of business, I have never had a dispute that I could not resolve amicably; never sued anyone nor been sued- until now. We selected DJangoForce because they represented themselves as skilled and experienced developers who had a track record of bringing projects in on budget and within schedule. We furnished an extremely detailed and thought-through scope of work which they reviewed and accepted. The project is a client-facing, online insurance premium quoting system with database integration. They assured us they understood and were capable of building what we needed within the budget they proposed. We accepted.

Feedback:

To date we have spent $95,000 and have only a partially functioning product. Regarding the first part of the project, the quoting system, when we requested they refused to deliver and install it or even transfer the code to our server unless we paid them additional monies at their hourly rate; this is after paying them $95,000. Eventually they did transfer the code for free, but only after we brought an attorney into the process. However, we are having to pay our own technicians to get the quoting system to function on our servers and it is not complete. The Bottom line: I can only conclude that we were oversold on their abilities initially, but much worse, on the incremental progress they claimed to be making as we were asked to pay more and more. It was always- “we’ve made it work, we’re on the five yard line.” But we were not even at mid field. Still we believed, and paid more. BE CAREFUL.
