"I am the owner of Carytown Optical. My name is Cynthia Allen. I have been in the same location in Richmond Virginiafor 25 years. Business throughout the years was a struggle and the ups and downs of the economy proved near devastating for my small business. After a fire in 2010 and a rebuild with new inventory I decided to go for it in terms of a new website. I spoke to many web designers and I looked at many, many websites and I decided to work with Fred Hefer with CSL solutions. If you take the time to look at my website you will see the uniqueness of the site, the meticulous design and the ease of navigating the site. As a true testament to Fred Hefer's work I can tell you, before my bookkeeper gave me the report of a 40% increase in year 2012, that I knew it was radically increasing because every single day someone walked and continues to walk in my door who would have otherwise never known about me or my little shoppe had it not been for my website. I also get calls everyday and they are often from those from other cities or states. I have sold eyeglasses to those in Staunton and Roanoke and Washington D.C, Williamsburg and more simply by their reading about me and meeting me via my website and I don't even have a shopping cart. I understand that Google reviews websites and will put those that are well designed up over those that are not and over those that are not kept fresh. Fred also maintains my website and makes sure it is found through the search engines. You may think you can't afford to pay for a website but I am here to tell you that it is an investment in your business that you can't afford not to do. A website designed and maintained by Fred Hefer will increase your business and what you invest in it will come back to you over and over and over again."
