OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Free Website Guys, and what were your goals?

I did not have a website despite going on 3 years in business. The goal was to develop and design a website.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I found out about The Free Website Guys from someone who referred me via LinkedIn. I applied after researching and seeing the excellent reviews about their company. I was accepted and decided to move forward.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

I was contacted by the lead web developer, Sven N., who provided clear steps. Video tutorials and emails helped guide the entire process.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I worked with Sven N.- the lead web developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

I saved valuable time by not having to create the website by myself. I also saved money by not needing to hire someone.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Email, video tutorials, & Google forms made the process smooth. I received emails following up with me if I didn't respond, which was very helpful also.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I was impressed by how easy the process was...the video tutorials were very helpful in simplifying everything.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I’ve wanted a website since my business opened a couple of years ago. I knew that without a website, my business lacked a certain level of credibility. Although important, with such a busy schedule, I kept pushing it to the backburner so that I could manage my team and focus on my business’ clients.

I resolved that I would need to invest my time and finances into finding a website designer. I was so happy and almost in disbelief when I was referred to The Free Website Guys! I applied, and was happy to get approved. The process was EXTREMELY smooth and easy. Sven, Lead Developer, and the entire team, was incredibly helpful, patient in answering my questions, and thorough with the detailed and easy to follow instructions through email and video tutorials.

The result of working with The Free Website Guys was a beautiful website that showcases my business and its services! I can’t say enough good things about The Free Website Guys! They are truly a Godsend, and I highly recommend them due to my smooth experience working with them!

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Free Website Guys, and what were your goals?

Working with TheFreeWebsiteGuys was such a stress-free way to kick off my new business where so many new things were coming at me at once! It was so nice not to have the additional expense of website creation or time to try to figure it out on my own.

They were recommended in a Facebook group with other clinicians who had had a good experience with them.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I just interacted with Sven

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

My website turned out exactly as I had hoped - it looks like it cost me thousands but gives me the ability to change content as I grow my business, without having to be a developer. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect from a website that offers to build websites for free, but they exceeded my expectations and I look forward to working with Sven and the guys on some bigger projects as my business expands!

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

I appreciated the guidance about the available upgrades, without pressure, and being able to weigh the pros and cons with the different decisions available throughout the process.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

One of the most impressive things was active communication - I knew every step of the way what was happening, was engaged in the process, and trusted the product would turn out nicely because of the feedback I was able to provide.

Additonally, they gave me a professional website at minimal cost (I chose some upgrades) that will be easy for me to maintain

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

None.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

They communicated constantly and were quick to follow-up, whether that was with results or an update by when we should expect the results. Everything was very straightforward and clear.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Not only did they make the process incredibly easy and fun, but they also made sure to include my input every step of the way. It’s one thing having someone build you a practical site (which alone would’ve been helpful), but it’s another thing watching someone work diligently to transform your vision into reality. I am so appreciative of their patience, help, and ability to make magic happen.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Not that I can think of. They met all of my requirements.

How many teammates from The Free Website Guys were assigned to this project?

1 Employee

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Set up hosting is included.

Set up Wordpress with standard explainer videos (not customer specific) on how to make very basic edits in Wordpress.

Service does NOT include uploading of any pictures or text.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The only measurable outcome was that they set up Wordpress, installed some of their recommended plug ins and set up hosting.

They were supposed to add social links to the footer and never did. In fact, they only added their name to the footer for promotional purposes and nothing else. Their name has since been removed. Had they done a great job, I would have left their name in the footer.

They were supposed to change the colors in the template I purchased and never did.

The above took 6 weeks to complete and when the site was turned over for me to add links, it was not turned over with the social logos/links and colors were not changed. Totally INCOMPLETE!!

I hired an experienced Wordpress/Divi developer using Upwork and the entire website was done in 2 days for only $100 !!

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They don't guarantee a specific completion time which should have been a red flat. I am assuming that this is because they do the website and hosting setup at no charge.

That being said, nothing was done in a reasonable amount of time which they stated should be 2-3 weeks. All I received was excuses about them taking on too many websites and some websites taking longer than expected to complete.

What was your primary form of communication with The Free Website Guys?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

That they do it for free, but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for"

Are there any areas for improvement or something The Free Website Guys could have done differently?

Yes! Not take on sooooooo many clients at one time causing a several week delay in completing a website.

I asked the Free Website Guys to deliver me a website for my life coaching business, we decided on the 'Galatic' theme which I was really impressed with, Sven scored me a good deal for this too. There were a few up-front costs, but nothing major. Affordable for a start-up company.

Everything pretty clear and up-front, kind people to work with, 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Yes, they delivered in a timely manner, and we were amazed at how quickly things got done. They responded to my needs pretty well (although didn't like huge long requests), prefer for me to do that once they had signed over the website.

I applied to The Free Website Guys for my author website in Feb 2025. A member of the team quickly got in touch and explained the process to me. She presented my application to the team, and I was very grateful to be accepted by the team led by Svens. I am on a very limited budget, so this opportunity means a lot to me.

completed website design and launch of website. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The communication at the start and all the way through was excellent. I was given clear instructions about what I needed to do, and the team worked on the website and updated me at regular intervals. I am absolutely delighted with the website itself.
Throughout the process I was taught how to do various things myself and I am now in a position where I am able to edit the website myself. I picked Divi Elegant Themes, and I am finding this straightforward to use.

I have bipolar disorder and near the start of our project I became very unwell with a bipolar relapse. I thought that I would not be able to continue with creating the website. However, Sven and the team said exactly the right things to me. They told me to take extra time if I needed it and they made it really easy for me to continue with the website despite having to work through a difficult period of illness at the same time. Therefore I am adding a Disability Friendly Review of Five Stars.

In terms of affordability, I would not have been able to pay for a team to design my website at full price. So, I am exceptionally grateful for the opportunity provided by Sven’s dedicated team. Again, this comes under inclusion. The Free Website Team are clearly motivated by a moral compass and in the modern world in which we live it is very important to find champions such as these.

My entire experience has been rewarding and has inspired me to keep reaching for my goals. A sincere thanks to everyone at The Free Website Guys team.
