I hired charlesworks at the beginning of October to create my website (it is now March and I still don't have one). I thought I could trust him as I met him in BNI - WRONG! Not only is this company incompetent at creating anything other than a landing page with your business contact info, but they tried to claim copyright for the content I created when I had to hire a new web site designer who knew what he was actually doing (check their other Yelp reviews I guess this isn't a first). Contact me if you would like the contact info for the amazing web designer I have hired. I even had to do back-end work such as install plug-ins and troubleshoot them because their employees couldn't assist in remedying an issue I was having. They sometimes take days to respond and when you request they call you, they will still send you lengthy emails instead of just calling to answer your question (unlike their website which claims "we give all of our clients consistent, personal attention"). Their website (which should stand as evidence they are not great at creating websites as it looks to be made in 1990 and never updated) claims they can help large corporations. I was told I was the largest website they had ever worked on (in 20 years in business, wow that was shocking). My website would have hundreds of products but I was not asking for anything revolutionary. Additionally, when the new website designer walked me through all the issues charles left me with, one of the most concerning was there was no security on my website that would be taking customer payments. This was the most alarming to me as this should have been done at the very beginning stages. Charles also claims to be able to assist with SEO optimization, as indicated on his website and we discussed as well. When I told him at the beginning this was important to me he said "well it's just basically putting a lot of content on your site". While I knew this was part of it, I thought for sure there was more to it. Well - my new web designer showed me a lot of the backend work and intricacies related to SEO which was another indicator charles has no clue what he is talking about. I asked him for his education and experience credentials and he never responded back so, suffice it to say, this guy is a hobbyist trying to sell people his website design services which he has no business doing. I requested a concession on the amount I paid them because much of their work had to be redone and he hijacked my domain (and accused me of just trying to skip out on paying him). He also put his name at the bottom of my website like he created it even though I was the one who directed the color scheme, design, the logo was mine his company never assisted with any of that, even down to the font I wanted, and exactly how I wanted the header to lay out. I also input all the products/descriptions/parent and child categories, attributes, etc. During one conversation I was even told I needed to contact woo commerce - can you imagine being told that by a website designer you are paying? I need to call woo commerce to figure an issue out? Why am I paying someone if I have to do the work and figure things out, having zero experience in website design? He also goes around touting "websites for $500". Mine was estimated to be triple that which I was fine with but then I just was getting erroneous charges which I feel were fluffed just to get paid for additional hours such as connecting to a third party finance company taking 4 hours? I don't trust charles at all and I hope you heed my warning to find a different website designer as charles is incompetent and has no clue what he is doing. I had many attacks to my website and the site wasn't even being maintained. We found all kinds of issues when I hired the new web designer. He will steal your money and hold your website captive. RUN!! (Also to see he is a liar - check the first review - it was made by him and he is claiming he is as a third party helped by charles works - wow) read more

if you are planning to open a business in this area i strongly recommend you buy your domain name before anyone knows what you are doing otherwise charlesworks will buy the domain and then saunter into your place and offer to gladly do your website for you i have bought two existing businesses where this happened on one i ended up changing the name of the business and this was years ago and to this day they are still squatting on the name for the second one i had to retain an attorney to get my name back not a cool business practice i would say one thing is to buy domain names that later you will sell as people might want the name and another one is to blatantly buy a domain name from an existing business and squat on it in the hopes that you can make a 90s looking website for them read more
