The short answer. To judge reviews of a website designing company in Chandigarh, read them across at least two places (Google, a business directory and the company's own site), look for reviews that name a real project, read the critical ones and how the company replied, and then confirm with a call to a past client. Reviews are evidence, not proof. They are strongest when they are specific, recent, mixed and answered.
This guide shows where to find reviews, how to check whether they are genuine, the warning signs, and how Apensia Media collects and publishes its own. It was checked on 12 November 2026.
Where to find reviews of web design companies
People searching for "website designing company in Chandigarh reviews" usually land on three kinds of pages. Each has a different weakness, so use all three.
- The company's Google Business Profile. It is the easiest to check, because each reviewer has a public profile and review history. It can still contain reviews that were asked for or posted by friends of the business.
- Business directories such as Justdial. They add another source, though some listings are paid placements and older reviews can be out of date.
- The company's own website. This is the weakest evidence on its own, because the company chooses what to show. It becomes useful when the company explains how reviews are collected and published.
Searching the company name together with the word "complaint" or "refund" is also worth a minute, and it often shows problems that a reviews tab does not.
Five checks before you trust a review
- Does it name the work? "Redesigned our clinic site and enquiries rose" tells you more than "best company, highly recommended". Specifics such as the type of site, the timeline or a problem solved are hard to fake.
- Who wrote it? Open the reviewer's profile. A person with several reviews over time across different places looks real. An account with one review and no history deserves a second look.
- When was it posted? A steady trickle over months is natural. A cluster of five-star reviews on the same day or week is a warning sign.
- Did the company reply? A calm, specific reply to a critical review shows how the company behaves when something goes wrong.
- Can you reach the client? Ask for two past clients you can call or message. A company confident in its work will arrange it.
Red flags in a review profile
- Only five-star reviews, no critical ones, and no replies.
- Many reviews with similar wording, or the same phrases repeated.
- Reviewers who have posted about unrelated businesses in distant cities within days.
- A company that says it will give a discount or gift in exchange for a review. Google's policy for Maps does not allow incentivised reviews, and the company risks having them removed.
- Reviews from the owner, staff or relatives. Google treats these as a conflict of interest.
- A company that asks only happy clients to post, or that discourages critical reviews. Google's policy also lists selectively soliciting positive reviews as rating manipulation.
None of these proves a company is dishonest by itself. Several together are a reason to ask more questions before paying anything.
What a healthy set of reviews looks like
A reliable review set is mixed and specific. It has mostly good reviews with some middling or critical ones, it spreads over time, it comes from different people, and the company answers all of them, including the unhappy ones. A perfect record is less believable than a strong record that shows how problems were handled.
Also notice what reviews do not tell you. A review can say a team was friendly and quick, but it rarely says whether the code was handed over, whether the site loads fast, or whether the price matched the quote. Ask those things directly.
Go beyond reviews
Reviews are one input. Before you choose a website designing company in Chandigarh, Mohali or Panchkula, also check:
- Examples you can open. Live websites, not screenshots, and ask what the company did on each.
- A written scope and quote. Pages, features, timeline, revisions, and what costs extra.
- Ownership. Who owns the design files, the code, the domain and the hosting account after launch.
- Mobile and speed. Open their own and their clients' sites on a phone and see how fast they load.
- A phone number that gets answered. Call before you pay, and see who picks up.

How Apensia collects and shows reviews
Apensia Media is a website designing and development company in Chandigarh, and we treat our own reviews the way we suggest you treat anyone's. Clients are invited to review through our own review page, and the reviews that pass a spam check are published whether they are glowing or critical, not selected by rating. We reply to reviews in public, and we do not offer discounts or gifts for them.
You can read what clients have published on our client reviews page. If you have worked with us, you can write a review, and it can be critical. We also have a Google Business Profile and a Justdial listing, so you can compare what is said in more than one place.
We would still ask you to check us the same way. Ask for a written scope, call us on +91 81468 55589 and ask for a past client to speak to. Our website development page lists services and published prices.
If you have a bad experience
- Write down what was agreed (scope, dates, payments) and what went wrong, with dates.
- Raise it with the company in writing and give a reasonable time to fix it.
- Post a factual review describing what happened, without personal abuse. Specific and calm reviews are the most useful to the next buyer.
- If money is involved and the company does not respond, consider legal advice or a consumer complaint. This is general information, not legal advice.
People also ask
How do I check reviews of a website designing company in Chandigarh?
Read reviews on Google, a directory such as Justdial and the company's website, favour reviews that name a real project, read the critical ones and the company's replies, and ask for two past clients you can contact.
Are Google reviews of web design companies reliable?
They are useful, but not proof. Look at the reviewer's history, the dates, whether wording repeats, and whether the company replies. Google's Maps policy does not allow paid or incentivised reviews and removes content it finds is fake engagement.
How can I tell if reviews are fake?
Warning signs include a burst of five-star reviews in a short time, similar wording, reviewers with no history, no critical reviews at all and no company replies. Several signs together are a reason to ask more questions.
Should a web design company show only positive reviews?
No. A company that publishes good and critical reviews, and replies to both, is easier to trust than one with a perfect record and no replies.
Where can I read Apensia Media's reviews?
On our client reviews page at apensia.in/reviews.html, and on our Google Business Profile and Justdial listing. You can also write a review at apensia.in/review.html.
