Design4goodFrom day one, TRIAD has loved helping our clients, friends and area non-profits, especially when it's a great cause. We also know we can do a better job in reaching out and helping more organizations, so we've formalized our process for our pro bono partnership program, Design4Good.

We ask that any interested community non-profit groups/organizations complete the application and mail it back to TRIAD by November 30, 2010. We will review submissions and notify those selected by December 31, 2010.

Please visit triadadv.com/design4good to get started!

"John has the insight and enthusiasm that will lead his interactive team into the future and to the next level."

Congratulations, John!

KIDJAM! Radio mobileWith nearly a quarter of households having smartphones and the ability to view the Internet from wherever they are, many consumer-oriented businesses may want to consider a mobile-friendly website. These sites direct viewers to a stripped-down version of the site that allows for easy resizing of the text, and shrinks graphics to thumbnail size.

Check out newly launched KIDJAM! Radio on your desktop, iPhone or iPod - then give us a call. We'll provide an estimate for creating a mobile version of your site.
