SteadyRain Honored with Two TAM Awards for Web Development Excellence

St. Louis, MO, October 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- SteadyRain, an innovative internet strategy, web design and development firm, has been honored by the Targeted Advertising & Marketing (TAM) Awards for the sixth consecutive year. The 2009 awards were presented to SteadyRain for the design and development of the ISC Surfaces Natural Stone website and the Ecommerce solution created for Kakao Chocolate Company.

The prestigious TAM awards, sponsored by the Business Marketing Association of St. Louis, recognize the best business-to-business marketing campaigns in the St. Louis region and honor the agencies, companies and individuals who create them. SteadyRain was recognized in the categories for best Web Site Development Internet Site and the Ecommerce site, respectively.

“SteadyRain is honored to be recognized again by the prestigious St. Louis Business Marketing Association’s TAM Awards,” said Thompson Knox, Vice President of Internet Strategy. “These awards demonstrate SteadyRain’s dedication to providing our clients with the highest quality web strategies from our immensely talented team of consultants, interactive designers and web programmers. They also reinforce our success and motivate us to continue to push forward even harder—this year into wireless website and mobile application development.”

SteadyRain created a Website with eye-popping imagery, multimedia and an online store for Kakao Chocolate, who is known locally for their outstanding handcrafted treats. The new store, a PayPal solution that integrated seamlessly into the site, was extremely well-received and online orders began the day after the updated site was launched. This is simply the first, experimental step for Kakao in online sales and an upgrade of the Ecommerce solution is being budgeted for FY 2010.

The ISC Surfaces website project included an interactive shopping experience, custom-built by SteadyRain and titled “My Design Workshop.” This tool, while resembling a shopping cart, does not result in sales for ISC Surfaces, but acts as a lead generator for their design staff, allowing a registered user to submit specifications for product that most interests them. To meet the needs ISC Surfaces had in terms of content management, SteadyRain implemented a custom module within the DNN (DotNetNuke) Content Management System of the website. This custom tool put in place on the Natural Stone site makes it relatively easy for ISC Surfaces to manage new and existing products online that they wish to offer. Plans to expand this design and feature set are being planned for FY 2010 both for the main, corporate website and for other product lines within the wholesaler’s business.
