The Free Website Guys

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!

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Sven and the Freewebsiteguys are absolute lifesavers and do incredible work. I had absolutely no idea of how to build a website, but needed it to be multifaceted so it could grow as my professional skills grow as well. 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.
