“Pretty Simple and clean”

I have a couple of websites at freewebstore.com. The learning curve is very short. They have some videos that help out a bit too. It's pretty cheap as well.

“The store builder they don't want you to know about!!”

★★★★★

written by ThatZucchelli on 08/01/2013

Generate inventory file, click, DONE. UNBELIEVABLE SIMPLICITY. No upload hassles. NONE! Where was this a year ago when I first got serious. And check out the features that come with their premium memberships. For that little bit of money, I've never seen anything that even begins to come close. And believe me, I've looked hard. I'm just astonished! When I'm ready to get back into it again these are the people who'll get my business.

“Excellent platform for any one wanting a webstore”

★★★★★

written by coffee-connection on 10/12/2012

I've looked around and compared many e-commerce solutions for our business. I must admit I was somewhat skeptical when something is free as I was looking for a hook or to have minimal functionality. Boy was I surprised. I am so impressed with Free Webstore as it offers me as much flexibility as I need and wanted. I upgraded (simply because we have almost 50 items to sell online) but well worth the minimal cost. Other similar sites would have cost me over $250.00 USD per year. I've had nothing but great comments and more importantly great results from setting up our webstore with your services. Hats off to the free webstore team and keep up the great work. Regards,

“Great platform to work on for new users”

★★★★★

written by Johnnycash178 on 18/11/2012

Started with this company and have tried many others as comparisons. This one has ease over others. Seems like they have thought of many aspects of an e commerce business. I've been with them for 6 or 7 months so far and to my amazement my business have grown. Of course like any other businesses the more time you spend on it, the better it becomes. At the start there was a lot of tweaking around. Once you're up and running, it's the fulfilling of sales and orders you're worried about. Their backend system works really well and the layout is excellent. Managing products are a breeze. I've asked their support team about mobile optimization. They are planning to integrate that into existing themes early 2013. Can't wait for that to happen! Definitely recommended of anybody that just simply wanna sell online with great results!

“You are my everything”

★★★★★

written by kismetshop on 12/11/2012

What can I say? I am from Greece and I have an e-shop by freewebstore. For my first step I wanted to use something cheap or free at least because I didn't know if my business will be succesful or not. I didn't have a domain name for my own. I didn't want to risk time and money to have a pre-paid and expensive website at first. So thank God I found freewebstore. I managed to place all my products and when I was done I was hoping to work. I pushed it a little bit by placing free advertisment wherever I could but that's all I did. See I am not an internet exprert. I am just like the most of us but freewebstore's control panel was a piece of cake for sure. And plus...it has everything, every option you wish for, is there. 2 weeks later I had my first order. I coulden't believe it. My hands were shaking. Now...2 and a halh years later I managed to earn, believe it or not, almost 10,000 euro per month (yes even though we are in the middle of this terrible economy). And my store became the most famous of it's kind in Greece. I work almost 12 hours a day but it's alright. My only problem is that I feel bad because freewebstore costs only almost 25 euro per month and I believe that this servise worth more. I really don't know how can I repay them for that good. I also wanna thank the support team because they are really fast, kind, and educated and the solve everything I ask. If I recommend freewebstore to e friend? I already did it and most of them have now their own bussines. Because believe it or not internet bussines are becoming more powerfull day after day and most people use e shops for buying everything. Even me!!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. P.S. As I said I am from Greece, I've never been out of my country so forgive me if my English are not very good

“VERY difficult to navigate”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 29/09/2012

I have been working on a website design for 2 days now and not a lot oc success. I upgraded to a "NOT FREE" option so that I would have more control over the site, but that has not been the case. I am designing a VERY SIMPLE 4 page site black background with a logo on page one items for sale on page 2 cart page 3 everything else page 4 the design prompts and control over Banner, pic, background color etc.. are extremely difficult and the customer service is very hit or miss. you can only access support by email and then have to WAIT WAIT WAIT for a reply, sometimes helpful, sometimes not so much. I am bummed that I have spent all this time on a less than stellar site. and hate to start over, but the lack of customer support is making it impossible to stay. I wish I had known how problematic this was before commiting, beware THe price ws very inviting, but If my site is not up, it is not a value

One thing that you really can't say about Freewebstore support is that they are slow - absolutely no way. Been with them a couple of years and every question I've asked has been replied to within hours.

If you can't work out how to use their control panel I don't think you should own a computer !

Hello there,

Today is Sunday Sept.. 8, 2013 and I can honestly say that freewebstore support is slow. I have been having log in issues. I was able to log in successfully a day or two ago with the same password I have had for months and now their system is saying its not recognizing my log-in even after I reset my password. This is my first problem I have encountered with the site and I dearly hope I don't encounter anymore problems now and in the future with freewebstore.org. I like sites that are problem free. It's difficult to run a business as it is so no need for them to make it difficult for me to log into my account. I have contacted customer support today regarding the issue and I have not yet received a response.

“Highly Recommended”

★★★★★

written by on 20/09/2012

After lots of money wasted on time wasting website design companies I came across Freewebstore. I have been using this site nearly 3 years now and made thousands in sales. Customer service is excellent and its so cheap and easy to setup. Any problems I send customer service an email I get a response back the same day. I am on a basic package and it covers everything I need. Also my SEO company said the freewebstore site is easy to get to the top 10 in google I am at number 1 postition on my keywords and that says a lot!! The downside is it needs more international checkout services to support but paypal and google checkout are great to use.

“Don't go anywere else!”

★★★★★

written by auroragemstones on 17/09/2012

I've had my website for 4 years now with freewebstore and introduced two other friends to them. I always get fast responses from them when I come across any issues - which doesn't happen very often. As I sell handcrafted jewellery, the competition to get my website seen is feirce. The really easy SEO settings help my store to be seen. I've been offered websites from other companies but I've refused every single one. I won't budge from freewebstore.

“Amazing Value For Money. Quick & Easy”

★★★★★

written by john_j1989 on 11/09/2012

we started using freewebstore as a tool to see how our product pictures and descriptions look and feel on a website. before we had even decided who to have make our site we had two sales (while we were still using the free version without a domain name) and that sealed it from that point on we knew we had our company. It then took us minuites to transfer our domain name with straight forward instructions. we couldnt have asked for anything better it is now up and running and making sales thanks fo freewebstore and thier easy seo tools we are also on the front page on google for some search terms. currently we only have limited products but when our product range grows so will our relationship with free webstore John www.xassi.co.uk

“Very impressed!”

★★★★★

written by on 03/09/2012

I have been using Freewebstore for about 4 months now. I had never made a website before.... the last one i had was made by another company and cost about £1000.00 Freewebstore is so simple to use, if you already have a customer base and want to build a quick site that takes online payments, this is for you. You can be set up within a few hours and it is simple to use. But it does get a bit addictive! Once you look a bit deeper you find many features that if a novice like me you'll be pretty impressed that you managed to do yourself. The last site i had and paid a lot for was no where near as adaptable as this. One thing you have to remember is you can build the best website in the world, but if no one can find it you wont make any sales. Freewebstore, supports google uploads and many shopping channels and also has a wide range of ways to take payments which helps you on your way. i will admit i have spent a fair bit of time on my site, changing colours and txt etc. But it depends what you want... Build a quick/basic site and get selling or spend time and build a site that rivals the paid for sites. You get to list 15 products for free or £6.99 for 50 products. And here's the best bit, i have contacted support 3 times because i wanted to change a few bits that were'nt available. Dont hold me to this, but i have always had a reply within 1-2 hours and everytime they did'nt just tell me how to do the change they did it for me! when i compare this to my last site, they charged £90.00 p/h for premium support! or offered free support with no guarantee of a reply! And any work you wanted done was £150.00 p/h!!!! If you thinking of going with freewebstore, check my site. It may not be you kind of site, but it was what i wanted. Feel free to email via my site if you have any question you want to know about freewebstore and i'll do my best to answer

Free web hosting, free software to do web development, nice and responsive customer service, nice newsletters w/ SEO tips.....I can't ask for more. Got my store set up in hours, functional and looking great. Being a web dev myself, I probably can get something of the equivalent done in a few months. Thanks so much Free Webstore. You've done A LOT behind the scene for us. http://www.snapnzip.com

“Excellent Service”

Have always found freewebstore to be very helpful. They have always helped us out even going to the lengths of editing parts of our site that we were not supposed to be able to edit. They don't mind helping out the customers and are always friendly and polite and very quick at doing what is asked of them. 10/10.

We have been using an alternative product until now and then we found Freewebstore. The product is simple to use and creates modern, professional looking sites. Technical support is super with fast clear answers. The interface is very easy to use. Setting up products/categories couldnt be easier. We are getting lots of positive feedback from our customers. To sum it up, we are extremely happy.

“My web store”

★★★☆☆

written by on 16/09/2011

I can't get into my website on the freewebstore.org site. This has been 3 days now, and they will be taking another monthly payment from me in a few days from my bank account. I am very concerned about this as I haven't been able to use it. Is this website down for some reason??? I'm having a panic attack here. I'm in the U.S. and I joined this a month ago, giving my bank information and other information. Now I can't get a hold of anyone to tell me what the issue is with the site.

I have been having the same problem and it's driving me mad. Over the last couple days it's been freezing up or not opening up at all. I almost resent putting out the money each month when this keeps happening to me. This has also not been the first time.

We still use Freeweb store for one of our other sites and stand by what we said in our review. If you are looking out to start a new store then these guys are great

We just needed a little extra

Hope that clears this up
