Giannella Ligato’s Summary

I started working in IT fields when I was already a grown up girl... However, I fell in love immediately with this job!! Now, I'm a total Internet addict and 100% geek xD

My job consists mainly in SEO / SEM, emarketing, information architecture, and usability tasks (I prefer calling them USEO: user *and* search engine optimization), but I usually end up programming too. In fact, I love doing multiple things at the same time and make them all work together for better :)

Web mining and semantic web are two of my preferred areas right now (I'm constantly researching these! They are my promises for the future).

I have my own little consulting company with my friend and colleague Mauro Gullino. Here I also work as a Project Manager.

Giannella Ligato’s Specialties:

SEO, SEM, emarketing, usability, information architecture, semantic web.
100% enthusiastic. We love doing things right, on time and budget ;)

This company's sites are in english, spanish and portuguese, so it was triple challenge! :)
