I hired Megastar Media to finish out a large website for me.

After spending tens of thousands of dollars of my money, and 8 months of my time with Sandy Rowley at Megastar Media (www.megastarmedia.com), I finally became tired of being strung along by them. The whole experience was frustrating from the moment I turned the project over to them.

I have now been informed by my new web developers (who are educated professionals), that much of the programming I paid them to do for me was actually outsourced to India. The quality of that programming was sub-standard.

I do remember there was a gentleman by the name of "Mo" who I was told was one of their employees, who worked on the site more many months. I was never given the opportunity to talk directly with him on the phone, although I asked on many occasions. I later learned that his real name is Muhammed Hasan. I found it highly unusual that I could never have a phone conversation with Mo. Now I know why they wouldn't let me talk with him directly.

My gripe: Megastar Media is charged me $125/hour. Web development work is outsourced to India for roughly $5/hour. I had no idea they were doing this. I would have never hired them, had I known they were outsourcing their work to India. Sandy told me she has a whole team of people working for her.

The result: I had to move the website project to a new, credible web developer who was recommended to me by a friend. I had to spend more money to have the website professionally re-vamped. They cleaned up the shoddy programming, I finally have a functional, professionally designed website that is perfect in every way.

Working with Megastar Media was the biggest rip-off that has ever happened to me.

I have worked with megastarmedia and Sandy Rowley, many times

AUTHOR: Marketgirl66 - Bedford (U.S.A.)

I am a reputable business owner and have needed the assistance of megastarmedia on several occassions. I have seen nothing but the best here!

She has not only gotten things done in a timely manner but is one of the most constructive designers on the web. I have spoke to most of her employees and they are not from India. Most of her employees have Reno, Nevada area codes. Just couldn't not say anything when I saw this. There are so many bad web companies out there who do take your money and build you crap, but not Sandy. There must have been mitigating circumstances to this individual complaint.
