WebSapient is full of bullshit

December 10, 2008

WebSapient ripped off Marco’s works and blatantly put them under the site’s Portfolio section—ALL of the designs under their Portfolio is Marco’s. The “experienced and well established web design company” stole another designer’s bread and butter and is trying to earn money from it. I know this kind of thing happens over the Internet all the time, but that is no reason to condone it. I hope that when someone Googles “Websapient” this little post will turn up and expose this company’s bullshit.

 

Marco’s (the real owner’s) portfolio 

 

WebSapient’s STOLEN portfolio  

 

 WebSapient steals other people’s designs. It’s hard to believe a word they’re claiming on their website:

Our CompanyWebSapient is an experienced and well established web design company specializing in website design and e-commerce development. We have designed, shaped and launched hundreds of successful websites since our beginning, for many different types of businesses around the World.Our team comprises of the most brilliant and skillful people in the industry with collective experience in Designing Web 2.0, graphic design, website development, Flash animation, Search Engine Optimization, Link Building and e-commerce programming. …our web designing & development team have the capacity to appeal to your sense of style, the training and knowledge of current web standards and practices, and the ability to turn your dreams into reality!

When apparently they haven’t even done any real work. They are full of bullshit.

PS— Check out the design of WebSapient’s website and compare with the designs included in their fake and stolen portfolio. Ang layo kaya! Their website’s design looks cheap and weak, so world’s apart, that a smart potential costumer should immediately notice the difference.

PSS—Why do I feel strongly about this? Whenever Marco is proud of a new design project, he shows it to me. I see all the effort and love that he pours in his work. He labors over details and loses sleep over the slightest imperfection. For this evil thing to be done to him is unforgivable.

I can sympathize. The world is just full of greedy people who profit from other’s hardwork. Doesn’t make them forgivable, though.

They really should change their name to WebBlatant

thanks to everyone who blogged about it! baddie, pau, ade, and a lot more who marco and i dont know personally. we’ve all succeeded in having WebSapient remove Marco’s work from their website, though personally i’d love it more if they take down the whole website. they’re a nuisance and possibly fly-by-night web designers—after they get your money, they leave you hanging. i mean, thats the only reason i can think of as to why theyd do a website with fake clients and a fake portfolio.

thanks again. marco, the angry site-guy, is very touched. :D (i can tease him now about him being lovable to other people and not just me, but don’t tell him that). heehee.
