BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am starting up my own e-commerce website for locally made clothing in the Philippines
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire The Free Website Guys, and what were your goals?
I won a competition for The Free Website Guys to build me a website for my e-commerce store.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
They selected me! I randomly saw a competition to enter where the prize would be for them to build me a website and crazily enough I won. Before entering I researched if they were legitimate because it really seemed too good to be true, but it was real.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
After they had chosen my idea, we spoke back and forth via email elaborating more on my idea and what I expected from my website. At every stage of the build they sent me videos for my part that I had to action such as choosing a hosting platform, domain name, if I wanted to use free or paid themes that they would build upon. Every step was clear, especially for me who has had little to no experience in building websites.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The Lead Developer, Sven worked with me pretty much from start to finish, and assisted occasionally by his colleagues.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
They are very quick with communication despite the huge time difference - US/Philippines. In fact it was my own schedule that meant this project took longer than it should have.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
Friendly, democratic style where they gave me options and recommendations
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their service was actually free, but the quality was so professional. The hosting and themes cost a bit but the labour of setting up the website was totally free. They didn't forget about me, especially when it may have seemed like I had forgotten about them.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
None so far. I didn't have many expectations but I am very happy with the outcome so far
