Webb Communications Designs and Launches Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Web Site:

New York ­Webb Communications, www.sitespan.com, a leading new media development consulting firm serving clients in the US and international markets, announced today the design and launch of the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce's new online initiative (www.italchamber.org).

The IACC sought to create a site that will serve as a resource for business relations between the U.S. and Italian markets. Webb' s development team has created a site which merges high-end design with ease of usability and information presentation. Webb worked closely with the IACC, to create a site that serves as a resource for business relations between the U.S. and Italy markets and as a valuable portal for IACC members and the Italy/America business community as a whole.

Webb sought to develop an online presence that reflects the IACC's prestigious image and history of success. Webb also developed a dynamic site content management system that will enable IACC staff to modify site content, making the site a flexible, powerful marketing tool that can be updated quickly and easily by non-technical staff. Other objectives include: promote the benefits of IACC membership to existing and prospective members; provide a central location for information about the IACC, its members, activities, and events; promote member businesses and services to the U.S. and Italy business communities; enable the IACC to increase its marketing efforts; enable IACC staff to update site content in-house and reduce the cost of administering the organization.

The Design & Production Team Webb Communications conceptually developed and designed the site's architecture, navigational layout, visuals, and the dynamic site content management system. John Battista De Santis, VP of Webb Communications and IACC Board of Directors member, coordinated production between Webb's design and production team and the IACC staff to complete this project. Team members included Mr. DeSantis, Creative Director; and Thompson Marzagao, Lead Programmer. Mr. De Santis is enthusiastic about the site's functionality and usefulness, and is looking forward to positive feedback from the end users. "We think the site will be extremely helpful in promoting the Chamber and reaching the existing and potential membership."
