Marc Tieger's Congratulation Testimonial to Charles for CharlesWorks' 25th year

6/15/2023

Hello Charles, Congratulations on 25 years! That is quite a testament to you. Thank you for the excellent service you have provided us with. Feel free to use me as a reference anytime.

Sincerely,
Marc Tieger
TiegerRealty.com

Note from Charles:
I was genuinely touched to receive a handwritten note from Marc in the mail. It’s a rare and thoughtful gesture that, in my opinion, sets Marc apart as an exceptional realtor and businessman. Marc’s taking the time to write a testimonial to me is also a testimonial to himself and Tieger Realty. For all the years I and my staff have been working with him, it has been obvious what a high degree of quality and attention to detail he and Tieger Realty provides to their real estate clients.

Celebrating 25 Years of CharlesWorks: A Journey of Innovation and Excellence

by Charles Oropallo | Jun 15, 2023 | Accolades & Testimonials, Random Info

Hello, Everyone!

We’re thrilled to announce that CharlesWorks, your trusted partner in web development, is celebrating its 25th anniversary today, June 15, 2023! 🎉

From our humble beginnings in 1998, CharlesWorks has grown into a leading web development company, dedicated to getting individuals and businesses on the Internet. Our journey has been marked by innovation, dedication, and a relentless commitment to our clients.

A Vision Brought to Life

Our founder, Charles Oropallo, had a vision: to provide reliable and affordable hosting solutions. Charles, a pioneer in computer-based communications and information sharing, authored and implemented an online Bulletin Board System (BBS) called Access-80 back in November 1977. Fast forward to June 15, 1998, and CharlesWorks was born out of this passion for connectivity and accessibility.

Growing Together

Over the years, we’ve expanded our services to meet the evolving needs of our clients. From private individuals and startups exploring growth strategies to seasoned companies that understand the value of our services, we’ve had the privilege of working with organizations of all sizes.

Our services now span domain names, web hosting, and website creation and development. But we’ve never lost sight of our original mission: to provide reliable and affordable solutions.

A Team That Cares

We’re proud to say that our team is at the heart of our success. We were a one-man operation through 2005. Since then we’ve grown into a dedicated team of professionals, all committed to delivering the best possible service to our clients. We’re not just a company now – we’re a community. And we’re grateful for the hard work and dedication of every member of our team.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we’re not just looking back at our achievements – we’re looking forward. The digital world is constantly evolving, and so are we. We’re excited about the future and the opportunities it brings.

We want to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients for their trust and support over the years. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you. Here’s to the next 25 years of innovation, growth, and success together!

Happy 25th Anniversary, CharlesWorks! 🎂🥳

Topographix LLC

by Robin Snow | Feb 11, 2023 | Accolades & Testimonials

My website is finally finished.

I spent a lot of time and money working with so-called Website (WordPress) Gurus that only screwed up my website until I connected with a fellow vet CharlesWorks LLC (FaceBook). Charles and Robin did the job.

Not only did they do a fantastic job with my website, but their email system also cut spam mail by 80%+. I highly recommend his services if you want a website for your business.

The proof is in the pudding. Check out my new site, the media page, and e-commerce page for book orders.

I hope to have my Bone Finder T-shirts and Ballcaps up on my website soon.

CharlesWorks Celebrates Five Years of Providing Top-Notch Service to Web Clients as BBB Accredited Business

by Charles Oropallo | Nov 17, 2022 | Accolades & Testimonials

BBB Accredited Business badge We at CharlesWorks are excited to announce that today we have now been accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) for five years! We first achieved accreditation on November 17, 2017. We’re really proud to be celebrating this significant milestone with our web clients. And just as proud to reflect on our continued commitment to providing excellent service and upholding the highest standards of ethical business practices.

Some of our Goals

Since establishing CharlesWorks on June 15, 1998, we have always placed a strong emphasis on providing our web clients with the highest level of service. Achieving BBB accreditation five years ago was a reflection of our dedication to our web clients, as well as our commitment to transparency and trustworthiness with them.

Maintaining our A+ rating for five years is a testament to our commitment to providing excellent service to our web clients. BBB ratings represent the BBB’s opinion of how a business is likely to interact with its web clients. Our A+ rating indicates that we have a strong track record of providing excellent service and upholding the highest standards of ethical business practices.

BBB accreditation offers numerous benefits for our web clients. It provides valuable information about our business, including a summary of our services, our history, and web client reviews. Additionally, the BBB offers dispute resolution services for web clients who have a complaint against a business. If a web client is unable to resolve a dispute directly with us, they can file a complaint with the BBB, which will work with both parties to try to reach a resolution.

Being accredited by the BBB also establishes credibility with potential web clients. By displaying the BBB logo on our website and marketing materials, we signal to potential web clients that we are committed to ethical business practices and providing a high level of service. The accreditation is also an indication of our commitment to our web clients and to delivering on our promises.

Five Years Ago

Initially achieving BBB accreditation wasn’t an easy process. CharlesWorks had to meet a variety of standards and undergo a rigorous evaluation process. We must also continue to meet these standards and adhere to the BBB’s code of business practices to maintain their accreditation.

As we now celebrate our five years of BBB accreditation, we remain committed to our web clients and to upholding the highest standards of ethical business practices. Our accreditation demonstrates our commitment to our web clients and our dedication to transparency and trustworthiness.

Going Forward

Achieving and maintaining BBB accreditation for five years is a significant milestone for CharlesWorks. It demonstrates our continued commitment to our web clients and our continued dedication to transparency and trustworthiness. We are so proud to have achieved this accreditation and to have maintained an A+ rating for the past five years. We look forward to continuing to provide our web clients with the highest level of service and upholding the highest standards of ethical business practices.

Case Study: CharlesWorks Helps a Business Owner Save Thousands of Dollars

by Charles Oropallo | Apr 29, 2020 | Accolades & Testimonials, Web Hosting

Meet Barry, a local restaurant owner. He’d been paying $450 a month for his website for the past 15 years. Barry had been thinking about moving to CharlesWorks, a web development company whose offices he often drove past. For many years he had never taken the leap. We are now about a month into COVID-19. As it began rapidly spreading, as a restaurant owner Barry was rethinking many business decisions. When he finally decided to make the switch, he was pleasantly surprised at how much money he was able to save.

The Old Website

Barry’s old website had been serving him well for many years, just paying that monthly cost of $450. When he first had it made, the shopping company made it really easy. He didn’t have to do anything but start paying the $450 a month. His website was nice website but offered limited customization options. While the website was functional, it was not tailored to Barry’s unique needs.

The New website

Barry reached out to CharlesWorks to discuss his options. After a consultation with Charles and Robin, CharlesWorks was able to build Barry a customized website for a one-time cost of $1,100. The new website was designed specifically for Barry’s restaurant and included features such as online ordering and his menus.

Cost Savings

By switching to CharlesWorks, Barry was able to save a significant amount of money. Over the past 15 years, he had spent about $81,000 hosting his old website. In comparison, the one-time cost of $1,100 for the new website was a fraction of what he had been paying. Additionally, the hosting cost for the new website was only $19.99 per month, compared to the $450 per month he had been paying previously. Over that time, Barry spent about $77,400 more than he would have with CharlesWorks.

Annual Savings

Moving to CharlesWorks allowed Barry to save over $5,000 per year on his website. This was a significant cost saving that he would now be able to reinvest into other areas of his business. The move to CharlesWorks not only saved him money, but it also provided him with a website that was tailored to his needs as a restaurant owner.

Return on Investment

The return on investment for Barry’s new website was substantial. The one-time cost of $1,100 was recouped within the first few months of use, and the fixed ongoing hosting cost of $19.99 per month was a very manageable expense for his business. Additionally, the new website was able to generate more business for his restaurant, resulting in increased revenue.

The Bottom Line

Moving to CharlesWorks allowed Barry to save a significant amount of money while also providing him with a website that was tailored to his unique needs as a restaurant owner. By making the switch, he was able to save over $5,000 per year and reinvest that money into other areas of his business. The return on investment for the new website was substantial, making it a smart business decision for Barry. Overall, CharlesWorks proved to be an excellent cost-saving solution for Barry and his restaurant.

Building Web Client Trust: CharlesWorks Proud of Achieving BBB Accreditation

by Charles Oropallo | Nov 17, 2017 | Accolades & Testimonials

BBB Accredited Business badge We at CharlesWorks are excited to share the news that we have achieved BBB (Better Business Bureau) accreditation with an A+ rating! This is a significant milestone that demonstrates our commitment to providing excellent service and upholding the highest standards of ethical business practices.

In Business Since 1998

Since our establishment on June 15, 1998, we at CharlesWorks have always made it our mission to provide our web clients with the highest possible level of service. Achieving BBB accreditation is a reflection of our dedication to our web clients and our commitment to transparency and trustworthiness.

Our BBB ratings represent the BBB’s opinion of how a business is likely to interact with its web clients. The rating is based on information the BBB is able to obtain about the business. This includes complaints received from the public. The BBB seeks and uses information directly from businesses and from public data sources.

Benefits to our Web Clients

Being accredited by the BBB offers numerous benefits for our web clients. It provides valuable information about our business, including a summary of our services, our history, and web client reviews. Additionally, the BBB offers dispute resolution services for customers who have a complaint against a business. If a web client is unable to resolve a dispute directly with us, they can file a complaint with the BBB, which will work with both parties to try to reach a resolution.

The BBB accreditation also establishes credibility with potential web clients. By displaying the BBB logo on our website and marketing materials, we signal to potential web clients that we are committed to ethical business practices and providing a high level of web client service. The accreditation is also an indication of our commitment to our web clients, and to delivering on our promises.

A Testament to Our Commitment to You

Maintaining our A+ rating is a testament to our commitment to providing excellent service to our web clients. The BBB assigns ratings from A+ (highest) to F (lowest). In some cases, BBB will not rate the business. This is indicated by an NR (No Rating) for reasons that can include insufficient information about a business or an ongoing review or update of the business’s file.

Our A+ rating shows you that we have a strong track record of providing excellent service to our web clients. It is important to note that BBB ratings are not a guarantee of a business’s reliability or performance. The BBB recommends that consumers consider a business’s BBB rating in addition to all other available information about the business.

Achieving BBB Accreditation

Achieving BBB accreditation was not an easy process. To become accredited, CharlesWorks had to meet a variety of standards and undergo a rigorous evaluation process. We must also continue to meet these standards and adhere to the BBB’s code of business practices to maintain our accreditation.

We’re Proud to be Accredited

We are very proud to have achieved BBB accreditation, and we look forward to continuing to provide our web clients with the highest level of service. Being accredited by the BBB is a significant accomplishment, and it demonstrates our commitment to our web clients and to upholding the highest standards of ethical business practices.

Our BBB accreditation is a significant milestone for CharlesWorks. It demonstrates our commitment to our web clients and our dedication to transparency and trustworthiness. Maintaining our A+ rating is a testament to our commitment to providing excellent service to our web clients.

Again, we are proud to have achieved this accreditation, and we look forward to continuing to provide our web clients with the highest level of service and upholding the highest standards of ethical business practices.
