Advertising Solutions Web Design play immature games with your digital real estate & revenue
Advertising Solutions accepted to reimagine our website after some hesitation based on the fact they had existing projects, thus we designed the site & sent complete brief to save them design time, a simple 1 page landing page, the 4th project they had completed for us. The owner agreed upon receiving the brief & accepted the project. After 6 weeks we contacted Advertising Solutions & requested a time frame as we were loosing revenue & requested fair & reasonable communication & feedback. we were not belligerent but questioned the "6 week" time frame. Within 10 minutes we received an email from Advertising Solutions Web design cancelling the project based on the fact that they felt our enquiry in respect to a perfectly reasonable request. The downtime has cost us time & money & now we are starting from scratch. its important to note that we have used this company for 3 years, time frames due to manpower, illness & other issues relating to "work ethic " & "urgency" has been tolerated. We were told the owner who works from a home office had hired a second publisher to assist in work load, clearly we would have been happy if it was a firm "no, we cant assist" fro the get go. if you want to wait 2-3 months with zero feedback, blocked on WhatsApp which has been a convenient comms tool & an abrupt removal of responsibility costing tens of thousands is ok with you, choose Advertising Solutions Web Design.
It is noted we always allowed downtime for his alledged physical challenges as he related to us, however business is business.

NB we have used the company on 4 occasions & have tolerated a 2 week turnaround on most projects with regular feedback - however zero feedback over a 6 week period is unacceptable in todays fast economy.
1. From supplier 17-9-2025 after request for update after 6 weeks upon acceptance of project & our request for update - we were obviously concerned & frustrated
After receiving the brief 6 weeks earlier ! a query that should have been bridged within 4-5 days of receipt of our design-
Hi,
Hope you are well.
Currently working on your site... Can you confirm if the below is all the content that you would like to have on your page? It feels very empty.
Kind Regards,
2. Our Response explaining our situation & losses in digital real estate revenue totalling R320,000.00
Hi,
I did request the use of blue print graphics as per the software www.sachi-report.org.za ...I also provided 90% of the design criteria. I’m a solar SSEG Compliance & Carbon Credit Trader not a professional web site designer.
I try to assist you to save time & I understand conversion & CRM.
We are the largest partner to FNB & ABSA in respect to risk mitigation in respect to the legal liability on patent defects on commercial property portfolios. It’s a subsidiary , but held accountable to multiple investment portfolios.
It’s a simple 1 page landing page which I design to convert 10 franchises per month. We are 6 weeks down Kevin & I’m now explaining to investors & stakeholders why we don’t have reasonable communication or 'enthusiasm' from your company?. I’ve been patient & I’m always reasonable, but fiscal losses in Q4 are mine to carry.
Please help.
3. The companies immediate response based on the tone? of my email which I admit was based on frustration, after 3 years of supporting the SME when he wasn't too busy to assist us
Hi
I can recommend Russell from Digital Aion that will be able to assist you going forward.
He is a good designer with great turnaround times, and affordable pricing.
Final note
Now we will be forced to endure unacceptable fiscal losses as we search for a new developer we can trust & start from scratch - total cost to company est 500k
