In July of 2005, I hired Rachel Doyle of [1] Web-Divas to redesign my blog, which at that time was being hosted on Blogger. She came highly recommended by Ree-C, of [2] Rightmom and [3] Lone Star Times fame. Stupidly, I paid about $160 bucks, all in advance. You can guess what happened next: weeks and then months rolled by with little apparent progress. More than a dozen polite, but increasingly frustrated, emails and telephone calls went unreturned.

She ripped me off.

Today, I happened across this little gem on the Web-Divas site:

Web-Divas is closing its doors after almost 3 years. We are thankful for each and every Client who made us what we became. At this time the health and well-being of our families needs to come first. We just want to say thank you for everything!

Love Rachel & Cherry

Good riddance, scumbag.
