I am so fortunate that I applied on thefreewebsitguys.com to build our new company website. The result is fantastic. It’s far better than a website that I paid a few thousand dollars to build. It’s a brilliant idea that the company build websites like manufacturing products on an assembly line. The result is consistently high quality.
They don’t just give you some templates, but a whole package that keep your website running robust for many years. To build a website fast the owner must engage a lot. Effective communication is very important as Sven is very busy. For example, I was using company A’s email address for communication to build a website B. That have caused some confusion as they thought it was A company’s website to build, but we figured out a while later.
