Why Anthony Santora Web Design?
If the web designs alone don't sell the service, here's a fact that you may appreciate: All Anthony Santora web designs are standards compliant, built to ensure that every website displays properly among all popular web browsers and is detected by search engines. In addition to conforming to the latest web design standards, my websites are developed with scalability in mind, leveraging CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) technology to enable this capability. CSS separates design presentation from content, allowing for future design updates without impacting the content. This translates into shorter implementation time and decreased costs for website maintenance.
More than just a designer... Beyond web standards compliance and scalability best practices, Anthony Santora web designs focuses on functionality, and the possibilities are endless. A balanced set of competencies in web design and development results in the creation of websites with greater features and control than traditional websites. For instance, some of the websites in my portfolio are 100% controllable by my clients. One such website allows the client to create unique and custom Real Estate Virtual Tours for Real Estate Agencies. Using the administrative tools developed for my client, a webpage with Slideshows, 360 Panoramic Tours, Music, Narration, Google Maps, Home Information, Customized Layouts and URL submission to MLS listings can be created in a matter of minutes. To see an example of the end result, visit RealTour Designs.
Though most organizations do not require this amount of control over their website, the point is, Anthony Santora web design can develop unique functionality if required. From real time news and weather pulled from Yahoo to embedded YouTube videos, it can be a part of your website.

Blogs (Web Log) Blogs are huge these days, everyone including large corporations such as Kodak, Delta Airlines, Boeing, Dell and their CEOs (Mark Cuban, Owner Dallas Mavericks, Reed Hastings, CEO Netflix) have blogs.

With the proper blog software, one can easily insert a video, photographs, audio clips and more into the content of your blog entry.
