The ‘free website guys’ gave me access to building a website for my consultancy business when I had no idea how to do this. They offered me free work on setting up the website framework and daily advice about how to navigate the whole system of domain names, web site templates and themes.
Sven and his team provided me with regular updates of their work as pdf documents that I was able to save and read in my own time to educate myself about web systems and lingo! I am now populating my website and learning so much about web based business marketing and web design.
I will launch my new website (naturallygiftedresearch.com.au) in the coming weeks with confidence! Without the ‘free website guys’ it would have taken me most of this year to navigate creating a website. Thank you very much to The Free Website Guys for helping me launch my new business in 2023.
