OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire The Free Website Guys, and what were your goals?
The Free Website Guys were hired to create a new website for this company. The goal was to achieve an effective, professional website on a low budget.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
The vendor was selected based on positive information about their company and their unique offer: to build a free website.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The work was focused on the creation of the back end of a Wordpress website. This included configurations made to the Wordpress environment, loading plugins, backups and analytics, loading and configuration of a theme and loading of a logo. A detailed report of all work carried out was created and submitted as part of a handover.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
All communications were with the Lead Developer. However, instructional videos were created by other members of the team and the website construction was also carried out by other team members.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The creation of a beautiful website which is ready to have content added before being launched. This was the desired outcome and the Free Website Guys exceeded expectations.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The project management style was collaborative. At each stage of the process there was clear communication from the vendor, including instructions about actions required to enable them to proceed to the next stage.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The communication was frequent and delivered in a way that worked well for people who were not tech-savvy. Each stage was broken down into manageable parts with very clear instructions. There was one point of contact with the vendor, so communication flowed effectively. They made a complex task seem very straightforward and they worked to a tight timeframe. Most of all they did this for free - who else offers such a service?
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
There were no areas for improvement as this company exceeded expectations.
