Extremely well. First and foremost, I've dealt with more than a few web designers and Anthony -- by far -- blows them out of the water with responsiveness and ability to translate what's described in words into fruition. Anthony's design and ideas are top notch. I loved the ability to give him an idea of what I wanted, then let him and his talent take care of the rest. Because of his fine style and attention to detail, I did not have to sift through the website to make corrections/alterations like I had with my previous experiences. I still can't get over the unparalleled communication and responsiveness. Honestly, he could have been a half-assed web designer and I would still be happy because I felt like he cared about my time -- that's important as a business owner that needs to get things done.

Working with Anthony and his crew was great. His ability to see a story in the making and capture footage on the go is a skill that not many videographers develop easily. Communication was excellent throughout the entire project and the video turned out better than expected. Will definitely work with again in the future. More...

Mad drone skills, well traveled shooting on many continents, and most importantly has a sharp eye - oh, and he's a super nice guy that is ALWAYS up to getting those difficult shots. He's your guy, proof is in the pudding so check out his work, that's what it's really all about, right? More...

I used Motivo Media for a video collage I wanted and the owner, Anthony Tori, went above and beyond what I envisioned. Everyone loved my video so much I worked with Anthony on a few other projects. Anthony showed me he really cared about what I wanted and you could see that in the final product. Definitely recommend Motivo Media and will use them on my next project! More...

Motivo designed our companies most recent website. We're a small shop (start-up) and didn't have a clear idea on how to approach the build process but their team guided us, made recommendations and simplified the end-to-end process. They also stayed on top of us every few days to make sure things we're getting done on our end to get it launched in a timely manor (always tricky having multiple opinions among leadership). I won't hesitate to use their services again. More...

We've hired Anthony numerous times, both for my video production company as well as my wife's real estate brokerage. His drone skills are above and beyond, and his work ethic is spot on. He's there early and stays late - and he truly loves what he does and it shows. I cannot recommend this guy more - we are lucky to have him in Austin, Texas. Don't believe me, just check out his footage... More...

A couple of years ago I got an idea for website. It made me excited enough that I started interviewing web designers to try and bring my idea to life. But after meeting with six different companies, I began to get discouraged. Nobody seemed to understand my concept or they were way too expensive. On a whim, I checked Angieslist to see if there were any recommendations for web designers and that's how I stumbled upon Motivo Media. I checked out their website and really liked the quality and design of their site so I decided to give them a call. I spoke with Anthony over the phone and he seemed to be receptive to what I wanted to accomplish. AT our face-to-face meeting, I was so pleased with what he had come up with for my site. Not only did he fully understand my concept, but he offered ideas and insights on how to make my site even better. Throughout the process, Anthony was encouraging and kept me on task when I started to get side-tracked (which I can easily do). He has a great ability to act like a coach and business partner. He was very easy to get in touch with and always made me feel like I was his most important client. Before I started the building process and was given my quote for this project, I felt their pricing was very fair. It was not the cheapest quote I received and certainly no where near the most expensive. Now that Shared.Style is built, I feel like I was given extra value for what I paid. I am so happy with the way everything turned out and I am incredibly satisfied with the customer service involved. If you want to see your ideas come to life, I would highly recommend Motivo Media.

I am so happy that Anthony Tori from Motivo Media helped me launch a new Web site for a fundraiser run to benefit Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The site design is clear, bold and easy to navigate. He also is very helpful on the technical/hosting side of things which was a major help to us. Anthony is also very responsive when it comes to updates and is a true professional. I'd recommend Motivo Media highly! More...

Q&As

After ten years of web development, I found that simple websites with beautiful visuals are the most effective. There will always be trends in web design, but keeping it simple is the way to go. I also recommend focusing on a review management strategy. A business with a decent website and great reviews will perform better than a business with a great website and mediocre reviews.

I always start with why? Why are we designing the website? That's why I only work with small businesses. I want to know the story behind your business and why we're building the website. It makes me feel more connected to the end goal and not just a project.

Watching small businesses grow. I've worked with large companies throughout my ten years of development, but found that I only like working with small businesses. I build relationships with my clients and truly enjoy receiving a call or email from them, whether it's about an upcoming trip, new business book that they found helpful or a "learning lesson" they experienced with the business.

I quit my corporate job ten years ago and started my first business. I hired a web developer with the last of my money and he decided to go missing in action. My only option was to learn how to develop my own website. I realized I enjoyed designing websites so I started to build them for friends and family. The business continued to grow organically each year and I started to work on large projects for corporations. After a couple years of that I realized I missed working with business owners. I decided to stop working with large corporations and focus on my favorite part of my job; building relationships with small business owners and watching them grow.

The most important reason is communication. It's rare for me to not respond within an hour or keep a client updated on the progress of the project. Another reason is that I'm a business owner first. I've started multiple businesses in the past ten years and continuously experiment with marketing strategies. I've learned A LOT by doing that and I share my lessons with clients. Over the past ten years, my business has adapted and it will continue to do so as the marketing environment changes. I took off an entire year of new web design projects so I could focus on video production and social media strategies. Those are two marketing channels that every business needs to explore so I wanted to learn how to use them for my clients. I'm always curious of what's next and will never stop growing as a person or web designer.
