I submitted my application or information and prayed for the acceptance call. I got the call saying that I had been accepted. I was elated.

The Free Website Guys provided a traffic solutions firm with their web development services. They also delivered video tutorials to configure the website so the client could update the platform on their own.
The website is still in the pre-launch stage for final touches, but The Free Website Guys was able to successfully produce a fully-functioning website. The team was highly proactive, and internal stakeholders were particularly impressed with the vendor's cost-effective approach.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
Owner/founder.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire The Free Website Guys, and what were your goals?
I consider myself fairly savvy with the online world, and understand how a lot of it works coming from a background in marketing. The downside, I'm not a developer or Web designer at all. My marketing background is more related to writing and communications.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Enter the team at FreeWebsiteGuys. They were great throughout this whole process. I was excited that they selected my project as one they'd work on, and am so excited to finally be close to launching this idea I've had and been brainstorming on for two years. Best of all, I now have a working website (that I need to update some images--but they showed me how!) that I can put out for the world to see. That part is amazing. If you're considering a website, but don't know where to start, give them a try. I did and I'm thrilled with the results!
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The video tutorials and frequent updates were easy to follow and kept me informed along the way of what was happening with the website.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
2 or 3 people are all I was in touch with. It was pretty low key, which was great for me.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
I'm still finalizing the website for full launch.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
Lots of videos and tutorials, and communications through email, which was great and easy to follow.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They took on my project for free to help me realize a dream I've had for a while.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Some design aspects, but really, that would have required a lot more input from me. They did great here.

Sven and the Freewebsiteguys are absolute lifesavers and do incredible work.

Through each step of the process, they provided me with explanatory videos and documents showcasing how to proceed and were very transparent as to where they were in the creation process.
I also had a tight budget, which they not only respected, but went out of their way to present me with incredible deals for all the additional resources needed for websites such as web hosting and themes! I highly recommend the Freewebsiteguys and Sven for all of your website needs, and look forward to seeing how they grow in the future.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Everything was great: my only idea is to mention the fees for webhosting and extra custom web themes when first approaching someone with a pitch for website services.
