Anne Palumbo, MHS, Owner
The ANN came to fruition from a love of all animals domestic and wild. Mrs. Coyle and Ms. Palumbo work seamlessly to brainstorm ideas that will serve the ANN community. With Joanne Coyle, the ANN has blossomed into its current digital success.
Anne Palumbo is the owner of AP Consultants which was established in 1993 providing workshops and seminars for management staff. When the internet began to breathe its life into its current form, AP Consultants traded the ground
for the net. Anne Palumbo and her entourage of 2 companion felines began consulting to those wishing to develop an internet presence.
Today, Ms. Palumbo's skills have developed along with the growth of the internet and prefers to work with small to mid-sized companies and sole ownerships. Her love for animals helped her to realize her niche for companion animal
related web development. While most in her field are good at either web development or programming, Ms. Palumbo is a polished graphic designer, Perl & PHP programmer and is proficient in internet technology. Her experiential and
educational background in psychology is industrious in analyzing the best fit for each customer's site.
AP Consultants has been developing websites and providing web & website hosting solutions for those in all animal professions for over 10 years. You are welcome to visit our Customer Portfolio to view some of our work.
