Frustrating and Unfinished Website Project with Active 9 – Avoid!
I hired Active 9 for an inclusive website and branding package, paying £250 upfront, and an additional £200 for four extra pages, totalling £450 - plus an additional £99 for domain transfer/protection.
The initial sales process was promising, but the actual delivery has been a nightmare, severely delaying my business launch.
Here is the service/pricing I was promised:

Our Web Design & Development Process:
We divide the entire project into 4 phases:
Phase 1 Alpha:
In alpha we design the layout of the website (mock-up) and show it to you that how the website will be going to look like.
Phase 2 Beta:
Once you approved the mock up design of the website then we'll start on the front-end (design the inner pages) & the back end (upload the pictures, content google map, contact us form) of the website.
Phase 3 Gama:
In phase 3 we'll check the complete functionality of the website to make sure everything is perfectly working fine, once we are confident on the website then we'll give the link the website to you, before going live if there is any changes you want us to make on the website so that we can get it done.
Phase 4 Go Live:
Once you are 100 satisfied with the website then we'll go live with the website.
Timeline:
10 to 15 Working Days.
Total Cost:
£250
Payment Plan:
Payment will be done into 2 instalments:
£125 To Kick Start the Project
£125 Before Going Live
Active 9 created a preview site with placeholder text (Beta) using a Wordpress Elementor Template, and despite it taking over a month for me to finalise my content, they were incredibly slow and unresponsive to my requests to integrate the final copy and my final branding. Shockingly, they made the website live without my consent, still showing the draft placeholder text.
Communication deteriorated rapidly to unhelpful, one-word WhatsApp replies, despite good communication during the sales process. Critical aspects of the project, like transferring the domain and setting up Google Workspace were painfully slow, forcing me to offer to take them on myself. The branding support I'd paid for was extremely limited; my requests to refine the logo were ignored, and my new brand guidelines completely disregarded, leaving an old logo on the site. The additional four pages I'd paid for were also never updated and the copy has been simply pasted in with zero care or attention to visual elements. They even failed to input the right contact information.
After significant effort on my part, including multiple firm emails, I finally managed to secure control of my domain and the WordPress login. However, even with this, Active 9 ultimately failed to make the promised edits, leaving me with a half-finished website full of placeholder content, despite having paid them a significant amount for a complete, launched site.
This experience has been incredibly frustrating and a significant waste of time and money. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere for web design services.
Avoid.

Quick website support
Quick, efficient service.
I had a bad experience with another online company.
Sam completed my website and made it look more professional.
This is a real reputable company.
Fantasic experience
My journey with this company began with a logo design, and after a disappointing experience with another web designer, I decided to entrust them with my website as well. I'm so glad I did! The designer was incredibly attentive to my vision, patiently incorporating all my requests and refining every detail until it was perfect. I am absolutely thrilled with the final result and couldn't be happier with everything they've created. I'm genuinely excited to launch this website, one I'm truly proud to have represent FoxyFresh Aesthetics. A huge thank you for your exceptional hard work and dedication!

I recommend Sami and Active 9 - thanks for your hard work
This is the first time I have used Sami at Active9 and therefore it is always a good faith situation that the work will be delivered at a quality that you wish. Sami was really fantastic - he created the website in the short time frame I needed and he was always available to chat and resolve creative or tech problems and ensure we were satisfied with the end result. I am using Sami for my social media and other presentation work now. I would recommend.

These guys went abouve and beyond for me. To every last detail. Excellent absolutely love our new website. We look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks again Jamie Crow Flies Travel.
Super responsive and effective service
Sami was super responsive and proactive. Our initial request was to make some changes (address) and migrate the website from another provider. There were some issues with obtaining the source web design from the previous provider, so Sami proactively downloaded the website content and put it onto a different platform. Then he made his suggested changes (upon agreeing them with me) which led to the website being more efficient and better presented. Really good job!
Exactly what I needed.
It has been a pleasure working with Active 9. Very friendly and professional service. Gave me multiple different design to start to help me figure out where i wanted to go with my logo. Would definitely recommend.

Sam was very helpful with making my logo very fast turn around.
Great company to work with.
I wanted a refresh for my site. It needed to be professional looking with a modern user-face experience and optimized for mobile phones. I'd read some reviews for this company and was very impressed. Once I contacted them they were very professional, answered all my questions and designed for me a very very good website which I am very pleased with. I recommend this company highly, five stars!
I was very happy with how my website turned out
I was very happy with how my website turned out. I think the design was modern and vibrant. They charged me a very fair rate. They completed the website in the time frame that was discussed. Communication was good and they understood my needs.
