Loved the website. It is so clean and straightforward in conveying what exactly I can get out of the tool. Also, the "good wishes from the founders" line in the pricing page just cracked me up :D Question: How customizable is the tool? Feedback: I would really appreciate it if you could showcase some websites that have used the tool

@amgxvalue Hi Amogh, thanks so much for your feedback! Glad you liked the product. We've tried to showcase 2 websites built with btw, but fully agree they're too hidden. I've built my website with it, you can check: https://www.deeptichopra.com/about. Customizable: It's a simple minimalistic platform for now, we'll set up a template structure soon, so that anyone can built a template of their liking & share (open source!). Do you write/ plan to start writing?

Congratulations with the launch! Do you have analytics systems integrations? I'm sure first things I should do creating website is to connect analytics and social networks pixels. How difficult is it?

t's been a while since I have worked with BTW, and thus far, I have had a very bad experience. First, on the day they were to come, they went to the wrong address, making them 40 minutes late and causing my client to miss our window of opportunity to get any sunlight. Then, when the individual arrived, he told me that he was a contractor with BTW, and I had specifically requested someone who was experienced and worked for them. The individual who came was a pet photographer, and I'm guessing thats why our pictures were of C quality. The pictures that were delivered were supposed to have been True Fusion photos, but they definately were not, and I could't even get in touch with them to discuss it. I contacted them via email 3 times and am yet to hear anything from them. The photographer was taking pictures with trucks in the background that were parked in the street, and he said that I'd need to contact BTW to have them edited out - seriously??? I couldn't even get in touch with them to ask a single question - very unprofessional and inconsiderate. Also the pictures that were much darker than what I would have expected. Very disappointed in the lack of customer service, lack of professionalism, lack of the photographer's skill, and lack of overall concern for their client. At this point, I have cancelled my indoor shooting and will be using another photographer.
