A Quick Update

Several new plans have been added since the last update and pricing has been adjusted on many of the plans to better reflect the complexity of the individual plans. You may or may not have noticed the many small updates that have been made to the site recently. A quick rundown of some of the latest updates includes a new bookmark button (that will allow you to bookmark or blog about many of your favorite articles on our site), new favicons, updated layouts on a couple of pages including HWC eBooks, updated page designs on many pages so the whole site ties together better and a couple small bugs fixed. One of the most important changes has taken place because of you, the internet shopper. Thank you for increasing the traffic and popularity of Homes With Character.
