It is important for a web site to look stunning, work fluidly, and be extremely usable. The technology behind a site must be transparent – it should be so brilliantly developed that it isn't even noticed. The technology supports the design, interactivity and communication of a brand. It is a given for a site to have strong and stable functionality. However, what will stand a company out from its competitors, is an engaging site with innovative functionality displayed in beautiful design that immerses the user in the brand and gets them what they need quickly and easily. This is the quality of web site design and development that Sweeties and Gangsters provides.
Blogs have become essential for any respected company in a fast pace industry as they provide a source customers can check continually with up-to-date content and industry trends. A company can use a blog to create buzz, showcase how they are an industry leader, and as a tool of promotion with sales, coupons, and sneak peeks. Furthermore, blogs have become important to users that are searching the web for sites in a specific industry. They will find a site due to the blog allowing the search engines, like Google, to crawl a site and all its content. This will give a company much better search visibility for a relatively inexpensive price. A company's blog is one of the most important marketing materials in which to invest.
Sweeties & Gangsters offers full-scale eCommerce development for small businesses, whether that solution is a pre-packaged shopping cart solution or a full-blown, custom-developed business application. An essential part to selling any product is an efficiently processed eCommerce system. This system needs to be able to manage and position marketing for users to "click and buy" quickly, easily and with security. Sweeties & Gangsters provides the knowledge to create or work with all the various types of eCommerce solutions. Also encompassed in this are statistic reports regarding the productivity of the site. This added piece is imperative – it helps the company spot what is and is not working on the site as well as manage its finances and flow of production.
Web banners are a vital contribution to online marketing. A banner that looks great, is approachable, loads quickly and most of all engages a user will get many more customers and potential customers interacting with a brand. In a time when the market is saturated with banners and ad units, it is essential for a company to stand out from its competitors – experiential and eye-catching design and concepts in online marketing do this. Also imperative in successful banner marketing is file optimization that allows for fast download without the sacrifice of high-quality animation. This is essential for distributing marketing materials with external ad centers. Sweeties and Gangsters offers engaging animation and rich-media online marketing with minimal file size.

Anthony is one of the best Flash developers I have worked with due to his ability to approach the technical problems that come with high-end Flash development with a creative mindset and attention to detail.

I have worked with Anthony as a client for the past five years. Throughout this period I've watched his work evolve as marketing mediums advance. Despite what the latest software is, it seems he's capable of evaluating a project with the result of incorporating the right technology to market your content. Importantly, his use of technology does not outweigh ones brand strategy, he designs in a way that reinforces it.

Anthony was brought in to take over a very complicated project that had a short turnaround time. Anthony turned the project around quickly and flawlessly and allowed us to meet our commitment to our client, despite the complexities. I highly recommend Anthony for future projects.
