It was a pleasure working with the freewebsiteguys. They were super responsive to questions, provided clear videos to explain the process and I really appreciate how they spaced out the information yo set up the site in steps, so that it wasn’t overwhelming. The site came out looking great, clean, crisp and professional. They also provided a tutorial for editing in Wordpress which will come in handy.
The only suggestion I have is maybe to go through the tutorial with an example of someone making edits to their site, to make it more relevant and easy to follow. Overall. I recommend anyone that is looking for a custom website to check them out because it was a very positive experience!
