We hired KC Web Specialists to create a website for our neighborhood homeowner's association. We had certain items we... knew we wanted to include and Chris and his team walked us through the process suggesting the most current methods of accomplishing our goals. We ended up with an attractive and modern website that is easy for our residents to use and after some training, easy for us to administer. When we've had occasional questions, our support specialist, Jeff is available and responsive. I'm not "website savvy", but Jeff patiently walks me through the administrative side, showing me how to accomplish a particular task I may be having trouble with. Overall, we've been exceptionally pleased with both the website building process, the website itself, and the support we have received since the site went live.Woodland Reserve Community AssociationCarol Foiles - website administratorread more

I just wanted to take a minute to rave about the incredible experience we had with KC Web Specialists. I communicated... mostly with Jeff, who was an absolute dream to work with. I had a pretty good idea of what I had in mind for our new website and from the very first consultation to the walk thru, I feel like Jeff LISTENED to all of my ideas and went out of his way to exceed my expectations. Jeff took my requests and enhanced everything I asked for and brought a lot of things to the table that I did not even know I needed. The name "Web Specialists" really is an accurate description. I was thrilled with how quickly the team took me from idea to beautiful completed project. I enthusiastically recommend working with this team if you are in the market for an SEO optimized website.read more

Who is the crazy competitor who left a weird review is what I want to know 2 year's ago? I would HIGHLY view that as... 'suspect" -based on my own companies dealings with them and Chris. WE LOVE our website and technical support. We have had our website with them for over 3 year's+ and had only one issue which was NO fault of theirs as a foreign website hacked into ours-cyber warfare is a real thing. I get my question's answered within hour's and minutes, billing is same situation and reasonable prices compared to what I see around town . I don't want to share them too much for fear they will get too busy but they are the real deal. Going to launch another new website and rest assured I am calling them first.read more

I am very concerned about all the 5 star feedback.I was in the process of writing unfavorable feedback and they tried... to offer discounts. I did not accept this. Rather, I am going to state the honest truth. Other businesses need to know. You set aside a certain budget for web development and you think you are going to stay within that budget. Not a chance. I blew my budget beyond belief. They were "nickling and diming" me. I had no choice as I already paid a large deposit. Please continue reading this feedback.Right away we had problems with the website after it went live. From the website functions, to email, links, etc. The cost of not having a fully functional website as promised cost us dearly. After the site went live, they referred me to their technical support team. In some cases, I would email very simple yes/no questions. One liners that were truly yes/no questions. For their technical team to respond, they charged me a minimum of 15-30 minutes at $80-$90/hour. Well over $150k a year. "It takes time for them to investigate"...I was told. Anytime I would ask questions regarding issues...and I had plenty as there were so many things wrong with the website that should have been fixed prior to my site going live, I was being charged $80-$90/hour. Usually it was a lot more than that. When it was all said and done...and after all the "technical support" fees, I would have been much better off going with a more expensive web developer.Not to mention the thousands of dollars it cost my company a partial website.This is the honest feedback.....other businesses NEED TO know. They will likely try to contact me to remove this post but I shall not. Small mom and pop shops need to know. Small businesses need to know that have limited budgets.Having said this, I ask that KC Web specialist NOT contact me in anyway shape or form. It will be reported. I will not remove this feedback even if you offer a full refund. Absolutely not. Again, I am asking that you not reach out to me or all my business partners.read more
