Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

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.

Very regular communication, web based information that was easy to understand and useable, great advice about affordability and web ideas.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Free Website Guys, and what were your goals?

To create and design a website.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I was do doing some research online and came across their advertisement and filled out their form being offered a free website for my company, and they contacted me back.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

I signed up with the hosting company they partner with for website hosting. I chose a professional theme through Divi that they work with. I made a recording of what I was looking for with the theme I chose. That entailed what pages I wanted to keep or taken off, any features I needed included. It was sent to them.

They got to work and communicated the whole process and reached out to me with updates or things I needed to submit such as a logo, and slogan for my business name. I already had the website name, but you can get one with them if you don't have one. Once the entire process is done, the give you all the instructions, videos etc you need to load in your products/services and what you want the website to say. They are there if you need anything else. It was truly a very easy process.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I worked directly with Sven. I believe he is a founder of the company. He communicated everything back to his developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
