BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the owner of a business consulting company, where we provide management, human resources, and marketing consultations.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire The Free Website Guys, and what were your goals?
I did not have a website for my company, and needed to get one up and running.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
I was actually approached on LinkedIn by one of their employees, and initially I didn't think I needed their services, but then I decided to give them a try. When I asked them about their process and they explained it to me, I went ahead and agreed to work with them.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
After the initial contact, I did have to apply to be selected for the project, since it is free and they receive many applications. Once I was selected, I received an email which explained the next steps for the process. I did have to purchase a plan to host my website through an affiliate link, but that was a small ask compared to what I received in return. After that, they began working on the website, and only really asked me to do my part when I needed to create a login or an account.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
I worked with Sven who is a Lead Developer.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Once they were done building the website, I did have to customize it. However, when I realized I did not have the skills or knowledge to do so, I reached out to ask for help, and they were very willing to help me out. They definitely did a great job!
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The Free Website Guys are very hands-on, frequently informing me of next steps and sending videos or information about what they have completed and the purpose of each step.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They were so patient with me (I have a very busy schedule, and wasn't always able to get to my steps in a timely manner). Customer service was top notch!
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Honestly, no. They were amazing.
