Thank you for your review!
We are happy that you are stisfied with the work of our Support team. All our products are results of work of our Development, Marketing and Support team. So your compliments are to all of us. Thanks for inspiration and we will keep up our good work to keep you happy with our products.
Unfortunately it is difficult to get an idea of a component only on the beautiful images they put on their advertisements.
With FW you could do nothing but offer to pay you to help you personalize your agency and add the basic settings you need.
I invite you to refer you to another component, may be more expensive but certainly more honest.
I lost 100 euros!
Thank you for your review, Caryl.
Truth is that we really don't provide refunds. It is written in our Terms and Conditions and you could ask us before purchasing component. Also there is no place on site which states that we do refund money. What wasn't honest then?
We provide open source extensions and we have Light (free) versions for major components so customers can not only take a look at what they get, but also use component for free with no limitations to make sure they ready to get more options purchasing PRO version. We are sure that it's as honest as you can get and it's better than selling encoded components as many people prefer our component because of this. Code is very clean and many developers can make modifications themselves.
You claim you lost 100 Euros (which was $104.99 USD) but you still have your account on Fastw3b site and ability to download updates. It is your choice to do it or not, but you have this option. And you got free updates just for $104.99 USD. Sounds dishonest?
Commission for agents and country settings you asked for was never part of features in component specifications. We offered you customization service to show extendibility of component and our ability to meet specific client's needs. Very surprised that you expected us to do it for free for you. May be you thought that blackmailing us with negative review on JED would make us do it for your for free.
Thank you Caryl for this 1-star review as it helps us to realize how much we love all our clients who value products and services we provide, who send us feedback and report us bugs even if they occur. We love you guys and we always want to do more for you! Stay with Fastw3b!
These needs included renaming many fields, the creation of additional fields and a recreation of the search facility to match my new layout. Also I wanted some key features of the site altered to allow external links to be used, rather than the programs internal more information page. I also supplied a diagram of my preferred layout as well. These were vey specific requests and I was unsure if it would be even be possible to do what I wanted.
Within 24 hours, I had a reply, along with two quotes for the work. One if done in 6 to 8 days, another for it to be done in 24 hours. I paid a 50% deposit and took the 24 hour option. Within 24 hours I had an email and a link to go in and see the results and to start testing. There were some tweaks that needed to be made (minor fixes and a couple of changes on my part) and these were done within 2 hours of advising. The total cost was very realistic and great value given the level of service.
I paid the final amount once I was happy. After paying the final sum, I did notice a couple of other changes I needed. I emailed and these were done just as promptly as the initial work - for me this shows a company that prides itself on good customer service!!!
I am extremely pleased with the result, as is my client. I have exactly what I asked for. This is a highly professional company who I would recommend without question. My primary contact was Svetlana. Her communications have been clear and concise and have all been very prompt.
Thanks, and I am happy to answer any questions personally if people want me to verify what I have said here.
Thank you very much for such a positive and detailed review! We really appreciate it and hope you'll stay with us forever!
Hello eyecandy1,
We are very surprised to read such a negative feedback after getting reply to all your 4 emails with 1 hour time after they were sent.
Never mind the fact that you have never even mentioned any bugs or issues with the component itself. It simply can't be true with fact of constant update of the component and growing numbers of users and positive feedback we receive from our clients.
We are not worried about the fact that you will still be using our component after leaving such a feedback. What we are really worried about is what else we could do for you to let you see at least something positive in our premium support, which is a slogan of Fastw3b Components.
Fastw3b Components - Joomla Extensions with Premium Support!
And we are happy to refund you component cost and even your wasted time if you can give a proof of what you wrote above.
Finally, we asked for some customization for our brochures, and Fastweb responded quickly, professionally, and delivered a solution that met our requirements exactly. I highly recommend working with these folks!
