The Thomas Jefferson Partnership for Economic Development (TJPED) website, which we launched in 2010, recently received an Honorable Mention for Excellence in Economic Development Award in the category of General Purpose Website for communities with populations of 200,000 – 500,000.

The honor was presented at the International Economic Development Council’s annual meeting and is our second IEDC award for a client.

We’re happy to announce the launch of a website for our economic development and tourism practice, www.EconDevWebsites.com.

After three years and eight economic development clients, we decided to create a special website to showcase these projects and explain our capabilities that are suited for economic development website design.

The website was launched before the 2011 International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Annual Conference.

The site itself has some newer technology that we’ve been working on. It’s built on the same content management system we build client projects on, and the website automatically resizes itself to fit multiple mobile device formats, eliminating the need for a separate mobile version.
