My company has three subsidiaries, all operating independently with its own website. A supposed I.T expert based in the UK developed the sites and we paid through our noses in pounds. But barely two years after, we started running into serious issues. The sites collapsed and weren't in use for almost six months. It was frustrating. I have known Multiplatforms.net all this time. You know what they say about a prophet in his hometown. I didn't rate him and his company. However, in less than 48 hours, our sites were back from dead after I handed over to Multiplatforms.net. And even more impressive, his charges were minimal.
