SWB Consulting

I’ve worked with SWB Consulting on a few projects and feel they have always adequately and efficiently handled all work in a timely and professional manner. They have always provided me with clear timelines that they have stayed true to and I have never had a problem with their services. Also, working with them has been such a pleasure!

I’ve been working with these guys for nearly four years without a hiccup. They understand my needs, and deliver them when they say they will with the price that we agreed upon. Will continue to work with them, and always recommend them.

I have used SWB for at least 5 business critical builds. They have always delivered on time and at budget. Smart people and client focussed. My best rating.

Can I give this business a ZERO star rating? Is it possible, because if it were, these guys would deserve it.
I mean, «stars» are cool, they’re nice symbols, even if you only see ONE. SWB Consulting doesn’t even deserve a single star, NOT A ONE.
OMG, this was a nightmare on just about every level you can possibly imagine for a business to business scenario. Let’s say this was on the grandest over budget B-​movie Horror scale of things, with plenty of gore, bad special effects, cost over runs, bad actors, and bad timing. On the comedic side of things, this could have been a laugh riot of «The Office» level proportions. Laugh, cry, or scream… it cannot begin to describe the utter horror or horrors.
We hired SWB in good faith to help us author and code our new websites. Our initial meeting was pleasant and they smiled, promised us the moon and understood «exactly» what we wanted. They did have good examples of work they previously completed for other clients, so that inspired confidence as well as the owner of SWB who was professional and receptive.
After we sent in our deposit… the true terror began. The hockey mask went on, the «chee chee cheee cheee» sound track turned on and SWB Consulting proved themselves to be the absolute worst company to work with in almost every way.
I will say their only positive asset was their project manager (new) who replaced their original, who was initially tasked with our projects. He tried to salvage the complete mess left from their previous project manager and the series of developers who proved their incompetence time and time again… for over 18 months! YES, 18 months! Ultimately, even he could not bring back to life anything that was already done. Our websites were errors built ontop of errors with sloppy sutures and dirty, infected band aids culminating in the most monstrous Franken-​mess imaginable.
We would have axed the relationship mid way thru, but we were already deeply invested and paid out a significant amount of money for the «work» done. After a new do or die meeting with SWB’s CEO, promises were made with pleading sincere eyes, stories were shared of their original project manager being fired and then peeing in their office coffee pot were revealed, admittances of missing files and emails, and fingers pointing at mysterious partner developers who were to blame, all came to light. We gave them a 2^nd chance in the hopes our preliminary graphical layout work and money were not all in vain, but in the end it was all for naught.
There were virtually nothing but rotting pages and admin ‘functions”. Nothing worked. Everything presented to us by SWB required us to discover the bugs, which were of epic proportions, like buckets and buckets of stale congealed blood. Nothing could reanimate this monster. It was a total loss and at GREAT expense.
SWB made no offer of credit, partial refund, compensation of an incomplete project which went grossly over budget, wholly defective, and behind schedule. When we tried to call and email Sebastian the CEO, none were returned.
SWB Consulting (should actually be changed to «Insulting») could and should be brought up on fraud. Their business practices were and are criminal. I will take the blame for being suckered into their nefarious scheming. My bad, and a very expensive one at that.
Well, if there is really karmic pay back in this universe, SWB will surely burn in Hell. In Hell, may they bunk next to Pinhead and fight over maggoty scraps with mobs of stinking zombies.
Shame on you SWB, shame on you Sebastian…
If ANYONE has heard of, or was considering using these people, you have been warned. DO NOT engage with any business dealings with SWB Consulting. You WILL BE SORRY.
STAAAAAAYYYYYYY AWWAAAAYyyyyyyyyyy, SSsstaayyy Aawaaayyyyy!!! (insert rattling chains and «wooo woooing» tortured ghost sounds here).

Since posting this review I have had numerous msgs thanking me for the cautionary review of SWB as well as a few msgs sharing similar experiences as unhappy clients. It’s a damned shame when a service provider is so amazingly underwhelming if not outright maliciously negligent. I truly hope that no one else would have to experience what we went thru with SWB. Thank you to all wrote me for the support and similar negative testimonials.
