Halstead Web Masters Earn Recognition for Efforts to Enhance User Experience

The Web Marketing Association has awarded Halstead Property's Information Technology Team with a 2006 WebAward for outstanding achievement in website development.

The Information Technology Team includes James Cahill, Executive Vice President/Chief Information and Technology Officer; Vincent D'Agostino, Web Operations Manager; Garland Centrella, Web Developer; and Phillip Massano, Web Content Manager.

The WebAwards are the standards-defining competition that sets industry benchmarks based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting, and ease of use.

It recognizes the individual and team achievements of Web professionals who create and maintain outstanding Web sites. Halstead's website was judged against other entries in its industry and then against an overall standard of excellence.

"We are very proud that our recently re-launched website has been recognized with this prestigious award," said Diane Ramirez, President of Halstead Property.

"Halstead's website uses the latest technology to create an enhanced user experience, providing a number of real tools and real solutions. By receiving this award, it shows that we accomplished our goal in creating one of the best sites in our industry."

Halstead's "live" website gives users the most up-to-date information; listings are updated every 6 seconds.

The listing system provides Halstead website users with information on over 25,000 Manhattan luxury residences.

Another feature of 180 degree mobility enables the viewer to move freely through the apartment, inspect minute details such as window and closet placement and establish a genuine feel for the apartment. Searching options consist of exact matches, close matches and similar listings to your specified search.

"Our vision with the new site, Halstead.com, was about catering to our customers first, as well as to be the site for their real estate search. Our website traffic shows that we have accomplished that vision and we continue to work at providing the best for our customers," stated James Cahill.

"We are truly honored to have been recognized among our peers in the real estate industry with this award," he added.
