Internet Website Consultant: Website Design, Production, Building, Development, Deployment and Maintenance

One of the reasons this site is here is so anyone interested in having CharlesWorks develop their site can see a sample of our work. Note that everything offered for sale on this site is in fact for sale. Although CharlesWorks does well selling used computer components, our hope is that you are able to realize the full potential of having a website (often referred to as a "web presence") of your own.

Having your own website, whether it is for personal or business use, is what CharlesWorks endeavors to make happen for you.

One reality in life is that we must focus on what it is we do. If you are one of the countless millions who does not have the first clue as to how to set up a web presence, then you are at the right place. Whether you are looking for a personal website that will allow you to share your photos with family and friends or trying to get your small business or professional office launched on the Internet, I can take care of all the details for you. I have developed personal websites as well as websites for doctors, artists, service people, and various profit and non-profit organizations. Check out a CharlesWorks directory by clicking here.

This site is a great example of how an inexpensive, affordable web presence can be developed and deployed to run a small Internet business.

Let me tell you a little about myself and my website philosophy. I'd like to think I am a bit conservative when it comes to starting a business. To me, exercising prudence by keeping it simple and taking small steps at first is important. As for keeping it simple, folks using the Internet don't like to have to wait a long time for pages to load. Large numbers of fancy graphics slow down the user's access to a site. Consumers are pretty savvy these days and know that if a business is spending a fortune on advertising, its customers are paying the bill. I don't place tons of graphics on a site when its important for it to load quickly.

I'd like to think I deal with websites in a practical manner. That's what I want to do for you: create a practical, working site for either your personal or business use.

Charles Oropallo, CharlesWorks LLC founder, has his involvement with computers rooted in the mid 1970's. By the late 1970's he had put one of the early bulletin board systems online, called "Access-80" (which has been long gone now). "Online" back then meant dialing up with your computer using a 300 baud modem. If you are accessing this site with a 56k modem then you are able to receive data approximately 187 times faster than it was happening when Charles first put Access-80 online!

CharlesWorks currently has its own website servers in three locations in New Hampshire: Keene, Nashua, and Peterborough. This arrangement allows for continuously available backup systems in the case of Internet connectivity difficulties during peak traffic periods. Each location has at least two separate CharlesWorks servers.

CharlesWorks will work with you to accomplish your goals. We can work together in any of several ways. If you are so inclined, you can learn how to manage your website. Most people are extremely busy and have neither the time nor the inclination to do so. For them, CharlesWorks offers affordable website up-keeping solutions.

You will benefit from Charles's experience. He has done a tremendous amount of research on setting up websites. Check some of them in the portfolio along the right side of the page at http://CharlesWorks.info when you have the opportunity. Another huge plus you will have by having CharlesWorks build your website is that you can actually reach Charles. Not a recording that tells you that your call is important to him. (Although there is voice mail for those times when no one is available to answer the phone.) CharlesWorks has regular hours during which Charles can nearly always be reached for technical advice. In person. There doesn't seem to be much of that anymore these days.

CharlesWorks domain registration and hosting prices are very competitive and are listed on the http://CharlesWorks.net website.

In addition to a reliable web hosting service, with every CharlesWorks hosting account comes a free text based ad that runs from the CharlesWorks ad servers and free directory listings on CharlesWorks directory pages. Your free ad appears randomly on various websites along with ads from our paid advertisers. Note that your site will not have any advertising requirement. You can, if you wish, agree to run ads for a reduction in hosting fees.

Below is an outline of CharlesWorks rates for various tasks. Email or call Charles if you are interested. When you deal with CharlesWorks to have your site developed, you deal with Charles or one of his associates directly. He'd love to at least help you get started.
