OK, I read that some people spent upto $1000 on theses losers.. well, I spent $3,500 on their junky software, mods and so-called "unique design". The home page looked stretched and ugly, half the features were not working, it was "unique" all right. Tried to get them to fix it for 8 months, was brushed off. Then I tried to find a freelancer on Guru.com to fix their damage, and after I showed my website, out of 17 people I emailed, not one wanted to touch it after looking at it! I cannot post what all of them said, but here is what the last 2 programmers/developers said about ABK-Soft "creation": One: "I just looked at the application. I probably could help you to get it to work, but at what cost and you would still be left with a crappy application. To be honest, I would recommend to cut your losses and go with another commercial/open source application...The style of site that you purchased is outdated, social networks are IN. You need to find someone who can implement a solution for less than what it would cost to make the other app into what you want"...... Another man, who has articles published, who is A.C.E. Certified, SEMPO Certified, and who works with small businesses and large corporations, said: "The template design is poorly constructed. That's why you see the template looking and functioning in an odd fashion. • The icons and color bars that are part of the ABK software doesn't match the design, the icons are in a completely different style. • The overall site is very confusing and not intuitive. Looks like a lot of features, but too much to digest for a new user. • There is very little chance for this site to rank well with Google, Yahoo as this site is very poor in terms of SEO. The site code needs to be reconstructed, the navigation needs to be rethought. The photos of the women also looks interpolated (blurry). Remember people are weary of websites that do not look professional. Overall impression of the software is it's kind of hokey and a lot of the features would alienate the market you are trying to capture. My gut instinct is saying to get away from ABK-Soft (before you lost more money) for the following reasons: Their software looks unsophisticated and too confusing for your market, and the support is terribly lacking".... Now, judge for yourself. It's not just me, who is a regular purchaser, saying it - this is an opinion of people who have been doing it for over 20 years, who are known in web development business, and who gain nothing by lying. DO NOT even think about ABK-Soft product! Their designers barely speak English, you will be pulling you hair every time you want to ask or explain something. Learn on our mistakes, not on your own. It had cost me $3,500 and I never used my website, ever. They are SCAMMERS. As of today, they have 24 complaints on BBB and God knows how many terrible reviews there. Thank you for reading. ABK-Soft is NASTY!!

The advantage is we own the licence to the SW ( which we can onsell as an intact site; not just pretty pics minus the coding owned by the designer?) and have B/up support on tap with a proven model. To build the same ourselves would've been an initial outlay of around 20K and then all the modding as we go along. The trick is to find the right SW provider. Anyone want to email us we're happy to point you to them. Hi
