Working with the Free Website Guys has been an enjoyable experience from the beginning stages of filling out the application to the final website handoff. Sven did an excellent job communicating back and forth with me to understand what I was trying to accomplish and what he needed from me.
The email steps were very logical and seamless from signing up for hosting, picking a design/theme to customizing it and then finally the detailed explanations of how to add text, images and even edit the design ourselves. Anytime I had a question Sven was there to help at every step of the journey. Extremely professional. This was a little bit of a free education while getting a free website. I highly recommend going with the Free Website Guys for your future website. Great job guys!

They really do offer free websites even though there are upgraded options the free version still looks very slick and for the price the customer service is outstanding.

Can't think of any. Maybe down the road offer or refer SEO services to help rank the new website.
