Luxury Presence failed to provide a level of service / communication sufficient to accomplish the agreed task, creating a website for me. ($1,000 paid up-front)I reported their platform to be beyond my ability alone, and asked for their assistance to guide me. My primary objection with this company is their lack of any support and impossible platform to work with, as their "sandbox does not allow for previewing anything. Meaning, as I select fonts and upload pictures and logos, I have no ability to preview it so see how it will appear online. That alone, is absurd and makes the time spent, worthless. I emailed to say they can retain $500 of my initial $1,000 payment and return to be the remaining $500 and stop all future billing. A very fair compromise considering their complete lack of assistance. On May 27, 2024, I logged into my account **********************. It was deactivated I have tried to work a solution with Luxury Presence. The refused to help. They deactivated my account. At this point, I expect a refund of the $1,000 previously paid and to stop all future billing, which they may begin in mid-JulyBusiness response

On February 21, 2024, I initiated the process with Luxury Presence to develop a website for my company. Throughout the entire duration of the project, I consistently communicated my dissatisfaction with the lack of attention to detail and the failure to capture the luxurious aesthetic. Despite my repeated emails to my assigned representative, these concerns were continuously disregarded.Unfortunately, the situation took a turn for the worse on March 28, 2024, when my website was launched and an immediate payment was deducted from my account. To my dismay, the website was not even remotely functional, lacking the essential *** integration that was promised.Upon reaching out to my representative, I was met with dismissive responses claiming technical difficulties with the *** integration. As of today, April 4, 2024, my website remains non-functional, rendering it useless to my clients. In light of these issues, I made the decision to revert to my previous website provider.Furthermore, despite my explicit request for a complete refund due to the abysmal service and non-delivery of a functional website, I have received no response from Luxury Presence. It is unacceptable to have been charged for a service that not only failed to meet the expectations but also severely hindered the professionalism and functionality of my business.The lack of communication and accountability displayed by Luxury Presence is deeply concerning. It is inconceivable that a company specializing in web development would provide a product that reflects so poorly on the businesses they serve.I am requesting a full refund for the wasted time, resources, and the damaging impact on my business's reputation caused by the incompetence of Luxury Presence. My clients deserve a functional and professional website, and it is clear that Luxury Presence has failed to deliver on its promises.Business response

In April 2023, I hired Luxury presence to build a website for my real estate business and prepaid a year of monthly hosting fees. After several conversations, I was unhappy the design of the website and the lack of creative direction and decided that I would use another service to build my website and informed Luxury presence in June 2023 that I would like a refund of the prepaid monthly hosting fees and they could keep the $500 design fee. My contact ignored my request multiple times. I have now been passed on to two other people within the company who insist I can't have a refund and must continue working with their designers to complete the website. It's now mid Sept2023 and I would like some help to negotiate a refund since the company has repeatedly refused my requests to end our business relationship.Business response
