I am so grateful for The Free Website Guys! Working full time, being a student and running a business the lack of time was limiting me from growing my business. I am beyond happy and honored that they chose my business to create a website for, I've been needing to do this and just couldn't find the time. They were super kind, and flexible with me allowing me to do this process at my pace. Without them I would not have a website, I look forward to seeing my business grow with this professional website. Thank you so much again!

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The Free Website Guys explained the process of how they worked which was very beneficial. I had a great group of web templets to pick from all of which were beautifully designed but which could be customized for my store and my desires. The Guys did all of the back end work to make sure the site was fully functional from the back to the front. Not just a pretty site that would not be showing up in Google analytics, etc. Many designers don't do that. They only worry about making the part that you see functional. They supplied videos that explained their process and once the process was complete they supplied turn over videos that showed how now the site was yours you could change the background and products on the site. I have to say that the way that you do this is one of easiest means of doing so. I also have to say they were more than tolerant as I know I delayed them completing my site because of me having personal issues to deal with. Great guys who produced for me a great site with everything they promised it would be.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Updates on a regular basis and the completion of a beautiful functional site
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
They were very much in touch and described where they were in the scope of my project. I had to supply them with information which once they had they acted on immediately or alerted me to when they would be taking the next steps in the project. There were never any long delays on their end. They were very helpful if I did not understand something both during the project and after the project was completed which is outstanding as many companies are done with you the minute that the project is complete.
What was your primary form of communication with The Free Website Guys?
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The fact that they were doing a complete functional website for free was a realy headturner. The fact that they would take the time to do the site right and make sure you understood each step is unique in the world today and especially as they were not getting paid for it. That they were accessible and answered every email and question that you might have also sets them apart from many others.
Are there any areas for improvement or something The Free Website Guys could have done differently?
I did not think so. Yes you were required to listen and learn as you went along but that is all to the good in the end.
