SC5 is a rip off. Do not use SC5 (based in Finland - SC5.io) for your web development needs. I hired SC5 to develop my HTML5 website. A programmer named Martti Malmi contacted me and provided a list of services they could provide me at a reasonable cost. I had PSD files and was looking for someone to slice them into HTML5 and CSS3 for my website. He promised to get this done in a three-month time frame.


Martti Malmi offered me a $1295 a month package for full time development (6 hours a day 5 days a week). I was promised a three-day trial period where I could evaluate how things worked and then I would be expected to pay the month up front.? As soon as I agreed to hire them they told me I had to pay immediately in order for work to start. They sent me a contract agreement that required 30-days notice to cancel services.


Trouble started once I had paid them money. Almost all communication ceased. I would send them files and information and only get a reply telling me they had received it. Contrary to their promises I never received an update email. Nor did I ever communicate with the developer. At this point, it is the end of the second month and I have not received any update or heard anything from them. The last two weeks that I paid for were essentially stolen from me.


The site I have is full of bugs, is coded poorly, and isn?t even according to the specs I asked for. It allows over 1 GB of data to get dumped on a user's PC every 16 seconds which seems to be a loophole on other sites they have developed for the clients listed on their website; Veikkaus, POP Vakuutus and F-Secure.


SC5 quoted me three-months for my entire project and after two months I have some poorly coded HTML5. It has been one long headache filled with poor communication practices, poor quality work, and a very incomplete site as a result. Not only is SC5 making false promises with what they say they can do for you, they are also a very unprofessional company to work with. Hire at your own risk!!!!

phew, that was a close shave. I was just about to use Marrti for all my HTML5 and PSD needs. and maybe some PCP and LSD as well but now I have seen the light and wont be using him any more. a lucky escape for me. I will just have to get my HTML from Iceland or maybe Ocado.


Can you sex case dweebs keep your bickering private please ? its tiresome for us in meatspace to have to read this toss

    • I'm not sure the word "mysterious" actually means "completely impossible to identify". More that it's a mystery who they are. Anyone know anything about Jonathan Edwards or George Napier? The address given for them both is local - oh, actually, no, it's a flat above a coffee shop in Shoreditch. That's odd, you'd think they'd at least be South of the river. Never mind, who's the other Director - oh, "EDITION CAPITAL DIRECTORS LTD", who / which is also Director of 35 other companies, several of which are "In administration" or "Liquidated". No, that's not mysterious at all...
    • Hi all Just a quick message to say I've just had a job cancelled at short notice so I currently  have some time available this month. I also do a variety of other jobs too, so if anyone needs a handyman, please feel free to get in touch. Happy to do a free quote. Thanks for reading
    • Thank you to Jules for building beautiful fitted wardrobes for us. They are exactly what we needed, Jules had great attention to detail and really pleased with the quality and finish. Thank you! Also his recommendation of Jon, who decorated the wardrobes was excellent too. 
    • Jon painted wardrobes and doors for us and was absolutely brilliant. Thoughtful, really knowledgeable and left things really tidy, we would strongly recommend him. He also helped us by sanding some extra bits for us and we hope to have him back again.
