Digital 8 was supposed to deliver a cutting edge website and app for a company I worked for. We spent over $250K with them, and the delivery was abysmal. All we ever got was: 1. A shell of a drupal website which I ended up having to populate MYSELF, and 2. An "app" that was basically just a mobile version of the website. Every time I raised concerns about the progress of the project, I was dismissed with excuses about staff turn over, or told that "all of that will come later". When we got more serious about our concerns, the sales person took us out to lunch and gave a "friendly warning" that the boss was well connected and would have the means to drag out any court proceedings until the bitter end, so it "wouldn't be worth our time or money"—Even though at this point we had not even considered taking legal action! Eventually we had to cut our losses and I rebuilt the website myself on Wordpress. Over a quarter of a million dollars just for us to end up worse than we began. Dealing with Digital 8 was hands down the worst experience of my professional career.
