I cannot say enough good things about working with "The Free Website Guys". It has been a great experience, they have been so understanding and such a blessing. They helped with setting up my website, wrote the copy, and designed a simple logo just so that I would have a logo to display on my website. They also connected my email marketing platform so I could start building my email list. 
I would recommend to anyone but especially if you are just starting a business and or don't have the budget to completely invest just yet.This is the perfect place to start! However you may want to have them further develop for you down the road like I will definitely be doing myself! I know so many people can benefit from what they are doing, I cannot wait to share them with as many people as I can!
