I Got Scammed for the 3rd Time in 300 Days Buying a Wordpress Website
Wordpress websites are a disaster waiting to happen. Learn from my expensive mistakes.

A grown man shouldn’t cry over a website.
I am close. They say the third time is lucky. Not for me. I did everything I could to buy a brand new website the proper way this time around.
I did my due diligence. I looked at other websites they prospective companies had built. I set a strong timeline. I got lots of quotes. I wrote exact instructions a monkey could follow. Still, I got scammed again and threw thousands of dollars down the drain.
The supplier built me a website in a few hours that looked nothing like the brief. In fact, it was worse than my original website. That’s right, they can’t even copy my existing website.
I want to share what I learned with you so my thousands of wasted dollars can be recouped in savings for anybody similar to me, who thinks you can just buy a Wordpress website and be happy.
The perfect web developer is unlikely to exist
One human is unlikely to be able to successfully build a website. Let’s think about the skills required.
- They need to be technical to adjust code.
- Design elements require an illustrator.
- They need to understand user experience.
- They ideally need to understand marketing and conversions.
- They need to have an eye for good design.
- They need to understand basic SEO, so they can ensure the new website doesn’t stuff up the google rankings of your old website.
See what I mean? The chance you’ll find someone with all of these skills is rare. Now you know why agencies that employ each of these people individually cost a fortune.
All the website developers I’ve worked with so far have understood the technical side fine. But they have no clue what good design is or how to get…
