Highly recommended! I was referred to The Free Website Guys through a member on LinkedIn with an offer to build my website for free. I'll admit at first I was very skeptical. I was encouraged by them to check out their reviews on TrustPilot, which I did, but also did my due diligence and Googled them to determine if this was a scam. I was amazed to see the ratings and reviews online, and decided to give them a shot as I did not have the time to try and do it myself. I am glad I did! Over the course of approximately 2 months, Sven Nilsen and his team built out my website. Sven's communications were excellent. The process took a little longer because I already owned my domain and we had to get everything pointed in the right direction, but Sven had all the solutions to work through this with ease. I'm 100% satisfied with the end result, and am greatly appreciative of the efforts their team put into it.

The Free Website Guys supported us on our website development journey. Having no experience with website development, we are very grateful to Sven and his team for assisting and advising us every step of the way. Following reading a previous Trust Pilot comment 'Is it too good to be true' were our thoughts also, following the initial correspondence and introduction. However, throughout the entire journey, Sven and his team were in constant communication, updating us on the website development and allowing us to put a creative spin on each element. The website is now live and we cannot thank The Free Website Guys enough for their support and dedication. Highly recommend.
