FRISCO, TEXAS – April 28, 2022 – Hooked On Code was named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the Achievement in Customer Satisfaction category in The 20th Annual American Business Awards® today.

About Hooked On Code

Hooked On Code is a women-owned B2B Website Agency with a mission to cut the B.S. out of web design. They are a small, mighty team that specializes in building websites using a proven process and specific toolset which helps them combat negative experiences such as missed deadlines, poor communication, and hard-to-edit websites. A notable achievement is the launch of the maintenance branch of their agency in mid-2019, offering monthly website “Care Plans.”

Torre recalls how the COVID pandemic affected their team. “In 2020, we saw project work virtually disappear with the pandemic. Our team dedicated themselves to the happiness of our current client-base which would, if retained, support their team’s salaries through the decline. We launched a Customer Appreciation Program including Client Appreciation Week when clients were publicly recognized on social media and each client was personally called by team members. We refreshed training for the support team, compiled a new manual for working on client tickets, and started tracking client compliments and complaints so we could address any issues early-on.”

A Judge had this to say about Hooked On Code:

“Hooked on Code has had a great success story for their growth, but their customer satisfaction is paramount. Their customer satisfaction is so exemplary that they take a 30-minute survey with 100% participation to complement their experience. I would have liked to hear more of the history/story of the company.”

Another Judge stated: “Good customer satisfaction and the growth as well as the customer ratings provide testimonials to the high level of customer service. The achievements show that the company is doing well with meeting customer needs in a manner that exceeds the performance of a lot of its peers.”

The sentiment seemed to echo across the judging panel as reflected in another statement by a third judge: “Excellent job what impressed me most was that you never missed your commitment on project launch dates. This will increase confidence of your partners and customers.”
