The Free Website Guys was hired by a construction and pavement marking company to develop a professional website. The goal was to showcase the client's business and help them gain more customers.
The Free Website Guys fell short of delivering the professional website they promised, wasting the client's time and money. They were also unresponsive and gave the client the runaround, ultimately leaving the client to handle everything on their own.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
I feel really lucky to have been chosen for one of The Free Website Guys’ free websites. From the start, they were incredibly efficient, responsive, and easy to work with. They held my hand every step of the way and took care of everything on the backend to make sure I had a secure, functioning WordPress site—no hidden costs, just exactly what they promised. I ended up choosing Divi themes for a cost but it’s worth it for the flexibility.
It’s important to know that the “free website” is really the framework—you’ll still need to put in the work when it comes to writing your content, choosing your colors, and ultimately filling it in and personalizing it. But if you’re looking for a reliable and professional setup, this is a great way to get teed up to launch a really great website.
