Virtual Real Estate, Inc. builds GREAT but CHEAP web sites for non-profit organizations. Early in the nineties, the company pioneered web-site development in a storefront in Soho, NYC. "We taught many of the NYC designers their first line of HTML." – rc

In 1998, Remo Campopiano moved his company and his many talents to Seekonk, MA, just outside of Providence, RI. In addition to building great web sites, he is the webmaster for a variety of non-profits, including the Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island, the Blackstone Valley Chapter RI Arc, Fund for Community Progress and Joyaux Associates (this site). For organizations that prefer to maintain their web site in-house, Campopiano builds into his designs easy-maintenance systems with online instructions for in-house staff.

What interests non-profits most about working with Remo is his ability to bring people together in a consensus-building dialogue. This group e-mail process, which he calls web-team consensus building (WTCB), establishes a feeling of ownership and pride in the new web site by the various department heads in the organization. “If they plant the flowers, they’re more likely to do the weeding. Maintenance is the downfall of most web sites.” – rc
