The process was so easy! And, oh, did I mention it was free?! You start by picking a template and telling them what you want. They create your website and hand it over to you, teaching you how to easily edit it. The follow up support was amazing. I accidentally messed things up and they quickly fixed it, no charge! I can’t say enough great things. Amazing resource. And, oh, did I mention it was free?
