We feel very blessed to have found a company that listened to our needs in a site and performed at a high level.

I would highly recommend Pathmaker Marketing!!

I would highly recommend Pathmaker Marketing to any organization looking for a top-notch internet marketing company. I have been working with Pathmaker for over 3 years and they consistently produce results in a timely manner. They are creative, responsive, and very knowledgeable in their areas of expertise.

Pathmaker always stays on top of emerging trends in internet marketing and social media and employs this knowledge to enhance our strategy to garner better results.

The Pathmaker team are professional, courteous, passionate, and always do things with integrity. It is a pleasure to have them as one of our key strategic partners!

Pathmaker Marketing helped me to quickly and safely move and update my clients website without loosing our google ranking.

In addition, they took care of further optimizing new pages and helped me understand more about SEO and how we can get more hits.

I feel confident in the expertise with which the work was done and will be getting help from them again in the future.

Hello [redacted] 

0.0001pt;">After meeting with you by phone on 1/26/16, we are drafting this reply. As you communicated in our call, you have a desire for us to finish the following tasks sent to us on 1-22-16, but you don't intend to pay us any final compensation, according to the terms you agreed to on 2/26/15. JT, on 2-26-15, you signed a Client Authorization Form to pay Pathmaker Marketing $1,985 for the completion of 11 tasks..  1. You funded that with a $1,000 down payment we deposited on March 2nd = 50% of your project costs, JT, these are the significant timelines on your project. 2. We started work for you on March 17, 2015 3. On 5/18/15 I emailed you the following update: "Hey JT,  Here's what we've gotten done so far: 1. Installed WordPress onto VALandBuyers.com, then installed Genesis, installed the Agent Press Theme, then installed the following plugins: Agent Press Listing, Yoast for SEO, Captcha, Google Analytics, Updraft for Backups, SEO Redirection. 2. Replicated the existing design of RuralLandTracts.com onto VALandBuyers.com 3. Fixed Sliders to be clickable to Property Detail Pages 4. Added Company Phone # to upper right of Home Page 5. Replicated the Property Search functionality in right sidebar, similar to what's evident on VALandDeals.com 6. Installed the Available Properties Page, similar to VLD 7. Installed the Join our VIP list, similar to VLD 8. Installed a How to Buy Page (send up to 600 words of copy and 1 image) 9. Clean and Polish the overall look and presentation within the current design 10. Installed a Testimonials Page (send up to 5 testimonials) 11. Performed 1 round of modifications for up to 4 hours of work. JT, go ahead and send another check for $695 made out to Pathmaker Marketing, at this address in the Chicago area, as I'll be there for a few weeks working: Randall M[redacted] Once we've got that payment, we'll migrate over the site to your root domain, perform any final modifications, and wrap this assignment up for you. You can then send the balance  of $290 our way.  Or, if it's easier for you, just email the $985 balance now, send me an email it's coming in the mail, and we'll get the domain porting all done this week.  When you have copy for How to Buy and Testimonials, we'll get those up too. Thank you for the opportunity to work on your behalf." > JT, on this date, we effectively completed your website, according the CAF that you signed. We were waiting on your next payment, and supplied copy to finish items #8 and #10. (We received your Testimonials and Welcome Video on 11-23-15) It took us 111 hours of work to get your website to this point of completion. (see attached) > Any additional change requests, according to this CAF, would have been billable at $50/hour in additional service fees. 4. On 5/26/15 I received your payment for $695 = 85% of your $1,985 project costs, per the CAF. 5. On 6/26/15 you sent a list of 6 additional changes you wanted us to make for you. 6. On 7/23/15 I emailed you an update that those change requests were performed. The list took around 34 hours of additional work on our, which would have been billable out at  another $1700 in charges, according to your CAF. 7. I don't have any email records of hearing from you again until 10-20-15. Nearly three months elapsed at this point until you sent us another round of 5 change requests. I do recall a phone call from you saying you were delayed over those months for various reasons. 8. I emailed you back that those five items we done on 12-7-15. They took another 5 hours of work. 9. We brought your domain live December 7th. 10. We received your final list of 8 change requests on January 22, 2016, JT, we are currently at 150 hours on your website. Assuming you don't pay the final 15% you agreed to pay = $290, or any of the additional change requests that are billable, we worked at the hourly rate of about $11/hour to get you to where you are now. This is below what we have paid our staff,not to mention the time that I have personally had in supervision. So, we have lost money on this job. When you mentioned on the phone that I didn't appreciate the business that you are sending me, you are probably right. You received a custom website for $1695 (if you don't pay us the final $290) that should have billed out around $6500. That was not a profitable piece of work for us, and in light of that we would not be interested in staying engaged going forward.  I do plan to finish up your final of list of five tasks. I will huddle with Joseph over the weekend and email you an ETA on when they can be done, whomever does them.  Those five items are: welcome video addition, re-organize sidebar, tweak the VIP section, convert How to Buy to a blog page, evaluate the font used. Once those changes are concluded, we will disassociate ourselves from servicing your website any further.  In addition, I will send over your logins before the weekend is concluded. We tried accessing your site after our phone conversation, using the logins we had on file in December, and neither our admin nor our ftp logins were working. So it appears they were changed somehow, and we will need to reset those, and then send new ones your way. Randall M[redacted] Owner, Pathmaker Marketing [redacted]
