Web Development Department

Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett, an experienced web developer, joins the Classic Exhibits Inc. to launch the Web Development Department. The Web Development Department was formed to assist Classic Distributors with the creation, revision, and maintenance of their websites.

As a designer, Tony has created custom and open source based content management systems dependent on project needs. He has assisted clients with search engine optimization strategies to drive more web traffic to their sites, performed necessary hardware and software maintenance on local web servers, and worked to develop web solutions which best fit the customer’s needs.

Over the past six years, Tony has been instrumental in the creation of Exhibit Design Search, the industry’s largest and most sophisticated exhibit search tool. In addition, he’s worked on over a hundred exhibit-focused websites to create their branded Exhibit Design Search, design new sites, or modify their existing websites. Tony has developed sites for clients in a variety of other industries including dental, boating, fine arts, tattoo, real-estate, automotive, religious non-profit, and health and fitness.

“There’s probably no other web developer who has reviewed and modified more display-related websites than Tony,” says Mel White, VP of Marketing and Business Development.” He’s seen it all, from five page websites to sites with hundreds of pages. His knowledge of web development, multiple programming platforms, and the exhibit industry makes him a valuable and indispensable resource for our distributors. Effective websites are no longer a luxury, but a necessity for every portable, modular, or customer distributor. We are excited to offer this service to our distributor network. ”

According to Tony, “I’m an experienced Web Developer with a passion for the ever changing technology landscape. I’ve been doing web development full-time since 2006. I’m proficient with Photoshop, CSS, HTML, PHP, jQuery, Drupal, etc. As a web developer, I have a good eye for design. Many of you already know me, but to those who don’t, I welcome the chance to show you what Classic can do.”
