Need Advice on Web Design

[taylorrswifttt]

I am going to hire a web design and development company in chicago, escologics. They look very professional but the only reason is I didn't find any review of them. Can anyone help me out in this?

it appears, after looking at some of their project, that they build the sites with WordPress (https://wordpress.com/)

That is a fairly easy to use site to make your own sites with.

Don't hire these people. They don't know how to write clean code (or to write code at all), so they use a program (Wordpress) to do it for them. Yet they present themselves as experienced experts. It's a shame. I've seen this before: Wordpressers presenting themselves as something they are not.

No wonder their site contains many many code errors (see https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.escologics.com%2F). No wonder their pages load too slow and produce white flashes (because of an overkill of code they apparently don't understand and isn't needed most of the time).

Don't rely on people who are experienced in 'selling themselves' but who don't know what they are doing.

We don't generally do commercial site reviews here. One can assume however, if there are no reviews for a commercial site, it is probably new and untested. I'm closing this thread, as - like I said, we don't generally do commercial reviews. Questions like this tend to only elicit opinions and spam, not any actual solutions.
