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

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

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.
