As well as developing websites for many blue chip companies, Triad also works with smaller local companies.

Canoe2 came to Triad wanting to create a website for their new venture that was visual and fun to reflect the fun aspect of relaxing out on the River Nene.

Canoe2.co.uk was launched in April to help promote the company online to potential customers.

The website uses Google Maps to allow users to view the routes available on the River Nene and also view the points of interest alonfg the way.

Also within the website is a simple CMS to allow their staff to keep the site up to date with current News and Events.

Ian Blackwell, Director at Canoe2 gave the following comment – “We’d like to say a massive thank you to everybody at Triad for delivering a fun, vibrant and professional site for Canoe2.  The whole development process always felt like a real two-way street, and it has to be said that your patience knew no bounds!  We’re already zooming up the search-engine rankings, and receiving loads of enquiries (often accompanied by compliments regarding the website).  We at Canoe2 are looking forward to a great long-term partnership with Triad as our business grows, and our online marketing evolves.”

So if you fancy a paddle on the River Nene on a sunny afternoon why not Canoe2!!

The website has been given a face lift by our designers to give them a more professional cutting edge look.

The site features a full CMS allowing I Holland staff to maintain all the content of the website in-house to ensure it is always up to date.

Secure Agent and Customer areas help them keep customers and agents up to date with the most recent product news and promotions.

We love our football at Triad and as Triad was born in Milton Keynes 22 years ago, we couldn’t resist helping out with the Milton Keynes World Cup Celebration Dinner.

So we’ve designed the promotion material for the dinner which celebrates Milton Keynes as a Candidate Host City for the 2018 World Cup. The Dinner itself features the England v USA World Cup match live from South Africa, complete with celebrity pundit panel. It should be a great night, let’s hope Rooney is fit!

Well the 2009 working year was nearly over, but it was finally our time to put our feet up enjoy some good food and have a few drinks.

The Venue: Highgate House restaurant for some quality food and then the bar.

Entertainment: Our games host Kerry Beasant, highly recommended for any corporate party.

We all had an enjoyable time, well for those that can remember it that is, as Scott was more than drunk after several wines, lager, double vodka’s all night with a few tequilla slammers added in for effect, he’s just so funny when he’s drunk as his voice suddenly goes very squeaky and he just talks and talks, but we’ll let him off as it was his birthday!

But the next day… umm! that was a tender day for a few of us.

Anyway, happy new year to you all.

In June 2009 we were given the opportunity to present our ideas for a new direction in presenting their clothing collection, this was to produce a digital ebrochure which would overall be a cost saving and a greener approach to printing plus the benefit of updating it anytime you want.

The aim of the ebrochure would be for staff to view the collection anytime anywhere and enjoy the experience of interacting with the brochure where they could view pop up VRs, zoom into clothing for more details and the real bonus was to use real people chosen from banking staff around the country to show how the clothing worked in various sizes, not just models in size 8.

So after being given the go ahead, we’ve spent the next 4 months designing, producing, programming and testing the ebrochure and for a job of this size all the pieces fitted perfectly into place with one smooth transition from concept to photoshoot to going live on the 23rd November 2009.

Here’s some comments from staff:

“Just thought I’d say congratulations to you and the team! The catalogue looks great and I’ve had so many people email me today to say how professional it looks!!”

“This looks fab – I like all of the interactive elements too! Good job!”

“I think the brochure looks fantastic! The technology makes it really easy to view and the clothes look great.”

“It does look really good Shelley – I like the bit on how to tie a scarf too (I’m not very good at that sort of thing…!)”

Anyway, instead of me babbling on about how excited we are about this job, why not take a look for yourself…

Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce has appointed Triad a Chamber member company to redevelop its website.

Triad Design, which is based in Holdenby, Northampton, was selected for the job following an intensive tender process which saw 16 companies submit proposals. These 16 were then shortlisted to six firms, who were invited to come and present to a Chamber panel.

The mammoth project will see a whole new look for the Chamber website and include implementation of online booking and payment facilities, advertising opportunities, more interactive functionality for members, clearer navigation and much more. The new site is scheduled to go live in April 2010.

David Sandell, Managing Director of Triad Design, said of the appointment: “We are in no doubt of the importance of this project to the Chamber. What they have achieved in 2009 despite the very challenging conditions is very impressive. The website redevelopment is now key for the Chamber and its members in 2010 and beyond, who will want to maximise opportunities and meet new challenges. All at Triad are very excited about the prospect of working with the Chamber on this project.”

Tracey Branson, Head of Operations at the Chamber, will be managing the project. She said: “We are very excited to be planning this new website and look forward to working with David and his team at Triad. This job is very much in its infancy at the moment, but some of the ideas we have discussed will really make a difference to our members. They will be able to do a lot more through their own profile pages, interact with other members, keep up to date with business and local news, book onto events and training courses and much, much more. It is quite possible that businesses will want to join the Chamber just to have a profile page on the new site.”

We’ve been working with Deichmann UK for over 5 years now and produced every kind of promotional graphics and literature POS going. 

For 2009 on the BTS promotion we were asked to produce a brand new concept, we came up with a variety of fun ideas and this was the chosen concept, which was based around the idea of what a pupil would come up with by using the doodle style icons, sketched headlines and the use of polaroid style picture frames to hold pupil imagery and then all overlayed on lined paper.

We then took the sketched BTS logo and applied it to all the instore POS which incorporated the large star burst. 

The concept worked really well instore and related well with the end user!

Did Deichmann sell more school shoes? The answer is “Yes”

Was that down to our campaign? ”Of course it was, but I would say that”

Team Triad got on their bikes this month to ride in a charity bike ride in Northampton to raise money for charity.
