Bruce took the time to provide a free consultation during which he described to me several options for accomplishing what I wanted to achieve. He was very pleasant to work with....

Summary: Overpriced and underdelivered for a simple site especially when the customer is technically competent.
My needs were simple: A splash site with a few pages of what the product is, some use cases, and a Contact Us form. My reason for going with a Wix professional was to significantly reduce the amount of time I would need to spend creating a compelling visual theme and finding/creating graphics. This is my first time engaging such a professional (and my first visually important website) and although the fee was on the high side for my budget, I decided to move forward. The fee was paid in full up front. There was no rush on the project and we agreed it could done in a couple of weeks wall clock time. As requested, I supplied both a powerpoint pitch deck and an outline of the main points and supporting text for each page (roughly 4).
Within hours of the start of the engagement I learned that the fee did not include logo or graphics generation. Because I am new to this perhaps it was my bad for not having a detailed scope of work (and exclusions) up front, including wireframing. We had a reasonable logo ready to go so that issue was put to rest, but with the exception of some generic placeholder images, the site as developed over the next 2 weeks had little in the way of relevant, engaging, and fresh graphic content.
We also discussed the mechanics and requirements of transferring the site content to me after the conclusion of the engagement and was surprised to hear that I should share *my* Wix logic credentials for some reason. In 2023 that is a non-starter; no one shares credentials with anyone for any reason. That should have been a red flag right there.
The first draft arrived a few days later and was visually very underwhelming; in particular, my supporting text was essentially copy and pasted into the panes with little in the way of stylistic enhancement. Over the next few days, via email and voice, content and some layout was changed, but it become clear very quickly that there was almost no added value to having Dynamic Wave do the work. I don't need to pay someone to capture suggestions on style and content that it took me time to create and then just add a Strip in the Wix editor or insert a graphic or change a typo. If you can use Google Slides or Powerpoint, you are 90% of the way to using the Wix Site Editor. At this time, Bruce was cordially but pointedly clear that the engagement had a "2 draft plus go-live activities" flavor and that we were looking to finalize the input for draft 2.
I changed my engagement approach and stopped focusing on graphics and basic layout, instead ensuring I knew some of the other basics of using the Site Editor: how to add a 2-column comparison table, where SEO information is stored, some details on mobile optimization, etc. Part of the package I purchased apparently also includes domain creation and/or connection which I also did not need because I have that already. It is unclear how Dynamic Wave could directly do it either (vs. coaching you through the process) because you -- not Dynamic Wave -- must be logged into both Wix and your domain registar to make the changes. To be fair, if you look at the Dynamic Wave rate card, you'll see a lot of these activities are in fact broken out. In hindsight, had I known this and asked very specific question about what each component meant, I would have gone a la carte.
Draft 2 was made available and we went through the changes since draft 1. A third party table widget with built-in adverts ("powered by...") was used and I said I did not want that in the site; I was assured that when the site went into premium mode, the "powered by" elements would turn off in the same way as the main Wix branding/adverts go away on premium sites.
The engagement concluded inside 2 weeks without a viable site going live. The third party table widget did *not* remove the "powered by..." element on the live site and Bruce informed me that we could redo the layout manually which is something I will have to do. The site needs a *lot* of visual tidying and more excitement but the method in which this is communicated to Dynamic Wave, especially on an incremental basis as opposed to "big draft drops", for me is inefficient and expensive. Even the favicon, which could have been easily set in draft 1 based on the size and shape of the logo supplied by me, was left out. Why explain what I need to do when I can just go into the editor and do it? This is not a complex e-commerce site.
It is not appropriate to reveal the fee here but given that at the end I have no viable site and hours of work remaining for graphics and other content generation, I significantly overpaid for this engagement....

I am so grateful that I found Dynamic Wave Consulting. Bruce and his team performed a complete overhaul of my law firm's website - the result is remarkable. Not only has Bruce mastered the required technical skills, he has an artistic eye for aesthetics that simply can't be taught.
Before beginning the project, Bruce took the time to understand my company, my goals for the website, and how his work fit into a larger marketing strategy. During the process, he asked for feedback to ensure the work was headed in the right direction. And then after he was done, he revised each page of the site to my preference. It is rare to find someone that cares about your website as much as you do....
