Fifty Studio

Utah-based Web design firm, Fifty Studio, takes home three 2009 Silver W³ Awards in the categories of Computer Software, Consumer Goods, and Family/Parenting. This marks the second consecutive year that Fifty Studio has been honored with a W³ Award. "We've always believed that not all Web sites are created equal and that the best sites are handcrafted," said Chris Bender, Fifty Studio's Creative Director. "Being recognized by an organization like W³ validates that claim. We will continue to build the best Web sites for our clients that meet their goals both aesthetically and from a business standpoint." The W³ Awards honor creative excellence on the Web, and recognizes the creative and marketing professionals behind award winning Websites, Web Video and Online Marketing programs. Simply put, the W³ is the first major Web competition to be accessible to the biggest agencies, the smallest firms, and everyone in between. Small firms are as likely to win as Fortune 500 companies and international agencies. "Fifty Studio gets it! Through recent work on our social initiative, ParentsEmpowered.org, they helped improve the online presence by creatively shifting the Web site focus from a simple information platform to a fully interactive online experience," said Steven Wright, ParentsEmpowered Committee Member. "As a result of this innovative work, Fifty Studio helps us provide a prevention tool that increases parental involvement and enhances the Web site's usability."
