Imagine Blast Internet Services' pride on learning that the online presence it designed for The Training Network has been recognized by Compliance Magazine as one of the Most User-Friendly sites on the web. Winners are to be announced in the publication's May issue, with awards presented during the American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Exposition on May 12.

Betty Hintch, Editor of Compliance Magazine, says, "Compliance Magazine's Best of the Web Safety Award was designed to recognize efforts by safety companies to develop excellence in Web design, site content and organization, e-commerce features, and online training offerings. Our panel of judges was impressed with the quality of the entries."

Blast created the overall design for The Training Network site, and also developed a business to business e-commerce solution that allows for their unique preview program and promotional offers of the company's safety videos. Account Manager Doug Phelps says, "The Training Network presented us with some new challenges. They have a very well thought out strategy and approach to achieving their online goals. Creating the tools to allow them to meet their objectives, while maintaining an easy to use site for their clients, required a great deal of collaboration between our programming and design teams. I think the final product delivers the perfect balance of features and usability."

Laura Grover, The Training Network's Sales and Marketing Director says, "We brought Blast in to work on our web site because we knew of their expertise in developing online catalog sales' sites. They have been an excellent match for accomplishing our objectives."
