They were very responsive via email and had personalized videos and documents to help guide me through every step of the process. I just chose a website theme, and they made it happen! Thanks, guys!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

There are a lot of steps involved in building a new website. Sometimes I got off track and didn't do things in the right order. They were very patient with me and helped me out when I was experiencing any difficulties.

Once I was selected, I received an email which explained the next steps for the process.
