a few nice words about will amato...
If the moon were made of cheese, and I could choose one person to be graphic about it, that person would be Will Amato. He is talented, original, funny, and very tall for his age.
— Mary Amato, children's book author
Will is full of great ideas and web skills and animation sparks and he also is very fun to collaborate with-- it was a treat bouncing ideas off him and seeing what he came up with. A flying colander! Filled me with delight.

I told Will I wanted a "Web site that's, you know, colorful. And, like, fun. Maybe kinda useful." From that pathetic direction, he spun a vision that I could never have imagined myself, but was somehow exactly what I wanted. He's got that perfect combination of imagination, talent, patience and good humor, and he's incredibly easy to work with. .

Will is smart, funny, cool, easy, and a pleasure. Plus he's a total psychic, which is always helpful. I recommend him and his fantastic creative brain to anyone for anything without hesitation.

...uncannily marries the techno-absurdity of today's World Wide Web into smokestack visages of post-modernism.

I've never met Will. He's a deep voice on a phone in California, possibly not even human. He listens, he interprets, he reacts and you end up with a website that's much more than all those half-baked ideas you threw in his direction. He expresses what you were trying to express, only better.
— Nicholas Griffin, author
Will seemed to intuit that most actors overdo everything...and so he designed my website accordingly, and (mostly) kept my actorly ego in check. He was able to take what I wanted and fuse it with his own creativity. For that I am grateful! He is a fantastic artist and I aim to use him for the rest of my career.
— King Jay Laisne', actor, both serious and comedic
Will Amato is a man, a plan, a canal, Panama. I'd trust him with my website.
— Jonathan Lethem, author
William taught me one invaluable lesson - namely 'stop whining'

Will Amato's brain is just full of good stuff. It is a cornucopia of creativity. Working with him was as easy as finding a magic lamp and making a wish for the perfect website. I think that Will must be something of a mind-reader. He has a way of tapping into your head and pulling out the vision you have sitting there (but can't seem to put into words). And then, the genius part is that what he creates surpasses that thing you imagined in the first place. He is a true artist, a skilled technician, and a serious perfectionist-- this guy won't stop until he gets it just right. Will Amato rules the Wonderland of Websites.

...culturally seasoned with heady undertones and a hint of whimsy.
— Cathy Olsen, artist and animator
With Will Amato as your web designer you get a person with some pretty great technical chops. But big deal. There are a million punks out there who can slap together some whizbang HTML. The difference is with Will, you're getting an artist. Not just an artist in the sense that his work is really good, or even really creative (though it is)... But a person who elevates the task, adapting and condensing that essence of yourself that you're trying to convey into a succinct, logical, intuitive, and fun analog. And probably the most flattering portraiture you could ever commission.
Will is, in fact, brilliant, and one of the most culturally literate people I know. He's obsessively observant and his nature is to see the connectivity between all avenues of contemporary life. And he'll see the bigger picture in your work as well.
All that... and a guy you'd like to have a cup of coffee with.
— Mitchell Rose, writer, film-maker, impresario
Will Amato is a visual magician - witty, hip and deeply thoughtful. And he even knows his postmodernists!
— Mark Sarvas, novelist and blogger
Will Amato is brilliant. I can't recommend him highly enough, but I'll try: he took my half -- or less-than-half-- cooked idea and turned it into a funny, cool-looking, idiosyncratic, clear website. Working with him was the most painless collaboration I've ever been a part of. Do yourself a favor and work with him.
— Darin Strauss, author
He never fails to titillate and amuse..
— Sarah Tonin, musician, poet
