NEVER EVER do business with Bright Idea For You, also known as: brightideasforyou.com. This company is owned by Arden Dittmer. I wrote checks out to his company for services he never delivered. I contracted with him over a year ago to finish a website for my company, as of today, it's not complete, links do not work etc. I have call him over and over, he never picks up the phone. I have sent him emails over and over, but he never writes back. I called the police on him, but since I signed a contract, I would have to go to small claims court to sue him and his company. I don't have the time or the extra funds to file the suite, so this is the next best place to let everyone know he is a SCUM BAG rippoff artist. AND, if you ever read this Arden, do the right thing and refund my money!

Anyone who is thinking about doing business with him, you better think twice. Tell him hell no! I'm out $2500, do you want to be the next person?

First complaint since 1981

AUTHOR: BRIGHT IDEAS FOR YOU - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, July 22, 2010

As the owner of Bright Ideas For You, I am surprised to see such a slanderous report about myself and my company from people I though were not only happy with the website my company built, but who still owe money for the work and for the hosting of the website. I provide an honest service to my clients now as I have for over 25 years, and as I did for TaFrancisco Cigars. The client wanted an e-commerce website with the ability to add and update items and pricing as they chose. After a few attempts to meet with them and a translator (as their English is very limited) I was finally able to determine the extent of the work we were going to have in the project. As each website is unique and fully custom built for each client, it is based on an estimated amount of hours for completion, all the terms are fully detailed in our proposals and contracts. I brought a photographer to the location to take photos and then had a graphics artist work for several hours to produce the product photos for the website at my expense to expedite the completion for the client. After many attempts to acquire their "About Us" information it was finally provided so we could get back to working on the site. Once the site was reviewed, we made adjustments as requested and added video and more which was not part of the original contract which the client refused to pay extra for. This project was a difficult one from the start, not from a technical aspect, but rather due to communication problems. The site has been up and running on our server for well over a year now and is fully functional with a scalable database which can have several product categories and thousands of products. The client has been emailed and shown how to operate their back end to populate and adjust pricing as they choose. However, it seems that with all the extras that were provided, we still "have not" done enough to be paid in full for our work, or to satisfy this client. www.tafranciscocigars.com - I hope that their report is removed for falsified information, as I pride myself on my reputation and credibility which hasn't any negative marks with the BBB, or CAS, or any other agency since I began Bright Ideas in 1981. Thank you.
