Here at Charles Buchwald & Friends we keep focused on one goal: meaningful growth. We’ll help you and your business, organization or community achieve that through bigger margins, a better triple bottom line, or renewed clarity and focus… however you define meaning and success.
Sometimes it means going back to basics and working with success coaches and advisors to refine or redefine your goals. Often it means our coordinated efforts help integrate all your business materials across a range of media with focus and clarity, making for a message that is direct, consistent, and powerful.
Whether yours is a small solopreneurship, a charity, or an established Fortune 500™ firm, we have worked with clients like you, and we can help. Our experience and capabilities encompass web, print, rich media, identity systems and traditional advertising. Small or large, we treat you and yours with intention, care and respect.
The challenge: get additional market exposure for an outstanding waterfront acreage and house for sale on Saltspring Island.
The solution: build a clean and simple, optimized site using the WordPress CMS. Highlight the best features of the unique location, the exceptional natural values of the property, and the benefits of the house, dock and boathouse with a rotating header area and an accessible gallery; configure it all so that the owner can update and upgrade the content simply and quickly, as time allows.
The site: waterfrontsaltspring.com Check it out!
Cedar Beach Resort, one of the largest resorts on Salt Spring, has gone live with Charles Buchwald & Friends. The newly revised site is a major upgrade and expansion of their former site, incorporating new photo galleries, interactive maps, contact forms, a revised and updated logo, online reservations, and a state-of-the-art Content Management System (CMS) allowing them to maintain and grow the site themselves.
With estimates of as much as 90 percent of travel planning taking place online, this family oriented resort was feeling the need to open up a clearer conduit between staff, customers, and potential customers. The former static, brochure-like site’s outdated look and feel, lack of functionality, and difficult maintenance had become liabilities. Outdated photos and information gave an inaccurate picture of facilities that have undergone significant renovations. After a thorough selection process, CB&F was brought in to make changes.
We created a flexible framework to show not only the updated facilities, but just as importantly the carefully cultivated family friendly atmosphere at the resort. The result is a site that can be easily and quickly kept current, and shows off the business to good advantage. Key communication channels are quick, easy and reliable, encouraging quality contact from returning and potential customers.
Check it out! And if you’re coming to Saltspring with your kids, and need a place to stay and swim and soak in the island atmosphere, be sure to contact the friendly folks at Cedar Beach Resort.
Friends went on an evening trip to see the full moon, and took me along.
