How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
When the team at The Free Website Guys reached out to me with the offer of setting up a website for me, I honestly thought it was too good to be true. After confirming it wasn't, I was thrilled for the opportunity. I had bought a domain years ago and done nothing with it, not knowing where to start. This team makes it so easy - they guide you step by step throughout the process an handle the heavy lifting of all the back end work. It was an easy and exciting process. It's now up to me to add content to my website which is far less daunting with the simple to follow instructions they've provided. These guys are legit and I am very grateful.
