With a seamless experience throughout the process, the talented team of developers at TheFreeWebsiteGuys were able to develop a fully operational e-commerce website for Reformed MEIYO. With constant updates from Sven, I was able to follow the development progress of the website, first with step by step instructions to setting up BlueHost, then picking the design of my website, and finally a detailed explanation of the add-ons that were done on the back-end. Communication was the biggest factor to move this project along and I couldn't have been more impressed!
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
I would say the best measurable outcome from this project specifically was the time and communication.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Sven, in particular, was phenomenal. He consistently kept us, the business owners, in the loop with clear updates on every step of the process, the challenges encountered, and the victories achieved. It felt as though they had undertaken this task a thousand times, yet they approached our project with a fresh, personalized touch, striving to bring our brand's vision to life. Having worked with several developers in the past, I can confidently say that I have never had such a wonderful experience. The end result is not just a website, but a beautiful, functional masterpiece that aligns seamlessly with our brand. Thank you, Sven, and the entire team at TheFreeWebsiteGuys.
What was your primary form of communication with The Free Website Guys?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
A talented team of developers who generously offer their services to startups, building websites at no cost, was definitely an unique factor of the their mission. Understanding the immense man-hours and financial investment typically required for such a project, it was a relief to be able to outsource it to individuals who were good at it, so that I could focus on other aspects of building a business! I love the inspiration & mission of why you guys are doing this, on behalf of all bootstrapped entrepreneurs!
Are there any areas for improvement or something The Free Website Guys could have done differently?
