I signed up for a Free website made by "The Free Website Guys". I was overwhelmed when Sven contacted me that I was chosen to be there next project. My website is an online presence for my business "The Nerdy Jeweler". The entire process only cost me the domain name/hosting service. At several points in the process, I was given choices to stay free or pay for premium upgrades. Exclusively my decision. Sven and his team stayed in touch with me by email. At multiple spots they would give me videos to show me how to edit / maintain the sites. They also, gave me frequent updates about where they were at in the process. I had issues where I could not do a task or two, and they gave me other options to complete the tasks. Overall the process began in September & was completed by October. I have sang the praises of The Free Website Guys to all of my Facebook/Instagram followers. Thank you for your time and expertise making my dreams come true. The Nerdy Jeweler Joe Solomon
