Developer Ghosted You?

Weeks of silence. Missed deadlines. Money spent, nothing to show. You're not alone - and you don't need to depend on unreliable freelancers anymore.

Sound Familiar?

Web development projects go wrong more often than people admit. Here are stories we hear every week from people switching to ChilledSites.

"Paid upfront, then silence"

"I paid half upfront like they asked. Two weeks later, no updates. A month later, still nothing. They stopped answering emails completely."

"Endless delays"

"They kept pushing the deadline back. 'Just two more weeks' became six months. I finally gave up and asked for a refund. Never got it."

"Held hostage"

"My site was 90% done when they started asking for more money. When I pushed back, they stopped responding. I couldn't access my own site."

"Agency nightmare"

"The agency seemed professional at first. $5,000 later, I had a broken site and they assigned my project to a junior who didn't know what they were doing."

Why This Keeps Happening

Freelancer Overcommitment

Many freelancers take on too many projects to maximize income. When they get overwhelmed, some projects get abandoned - usually the ones paying less.

No Accountability

Unlike employees, freelancers can disappear without consequences. Bad reviews on platforms don't stop them from creating new profiles.

Underestimated Scope

Developers often quote low to win projects, then realize mid-project that it's more work than expected. Rather than renegotiate, some just vanish.

Life Happens

Health issues, family emergencies, burnout. Freelancers are humans with real lives, and sometimes projects suffer.

The Bottom Line

Studies suggest 15-30% of freelance web projects are abandoned. You shouldn't have to gamble on whether yours will be completed.

You don't need to depend on unreliable humans anymore. AI website builders put you in control.

What To Do Now

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my web developer ghosted me?

If your developer has stopped responding, you have three options: keep trying to reach them (often futile), hire another developer (expensive and risky), or build it yourself with AI. ChilledSites generates professional websites in 60 seconds - no developer needed. Stop waiting and take control of your project.

Why do web developers ghost clients?

Developers ghost for many reasons: they took on too many projects, underestimated the work, found higher-paying work, or simply lack professionalism. Freelancer platforms have a 15-30% project abandonment rate. AI website builders eliminate this risk entirely - no humans to disappear on you.

Can I build my own website without a developer?

Yes. ChilledSites uses AI to generate complete, professional websites in 60 seconds. No coding skills needed. Just describe your business and style preferences - AI handles design, copywriting, and technical setup. You get a finished website without depending on unreliable freelancers.

Should I try to get my money back?

It depends on how you paid. Credit card chargebacks and PayPal disputes have time limits but can work. For other payment methods, small claims court is an option but often not worth the hassle for smaller amounts. Sometimes the best revenge is success - build a better site yourself and move forward.

How do I avoid this happening again?

If you must hire developers: use milestones (never pay 100% upfront), get references, use escrow services, and set clear deadlines with consequences. Or skip the risk entirely - AI builds professional websites in 60 seconds with no human dependencies.
