Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
I am a new business owner and managing all that comes with it. Getting a website built for my business kept falling to the back of the to-do list, mostly because I didn’t know where or how to begin the process. Until, I was approached by the Free Website Guys who offered to build my business website for free. I was dubious about the offer until they communicated their mission and began launching the project. Their expertise and diligence are commendable; what they have accomplished has been a delightful surprise. I am very grateful and humbled by their mission. I can’t express just how thankful I really am. I am deeply touched that they took the time to care about my business and so many others’ that might not have the support that is needed to truly get a business properly launched. Thank you very very much, Free Website Guys! Sincerely, Karin Lighthouse Counseling and Recovery LLC

I found the Free Website Guys through an ad and put in my concept for my art website. I currently had one built using templates on Wix, but I felt that it didn't really showcase my artwork in the way that would be ideal for potential roles in the industry. I worked closely with Sven, and he provided me with videos and documents detailing how the process works.
I gave them every detail on how I want my website - pages, content, logo, contact info, etc, and I was updated regularly on the status of the site. It was completed and ready to go in just under a couple months. I'm so happy with the way it turned out, my artwork is displayed just the way I wanted it to! These guys are the best!
