It’s a Hat Trick for Tingalls Graphic Design: Leading Regional Design Firm Voted Madison’s Top Website Development Company for Third Consecutive Year
For the third year in a row, local Madison business leaders have voted Tingalls Graphic Design the area’s best website development company in InBusiness Magazine’s 2017 Executive Choice Awards. The firm also took top honors in the same category in 2015 and 2016. Winners are chosen by fill-in-the-blank majority vote by Madison executives, business owners and decision makers, having achieved top-of-mind awareness in the business community and representing the best of the best in local professional services.
Tingalls Graphic Design, under the leadership of Owner and Creative Director Tara Ingalls, achieved another major milestone in 2017: During their 17th year in business, the firm celebrated serving its 1,000th client. “At the end of the day, happy clients are what make the work we do so fulfilling,” said Ingalls. “Of course these milestones and accolades are wonderful, but my company wouldn’t be where it is today without the support and referrals from satisfied clients.”
One such happy client is Andy Abelman, General Manager of the Fluno Center on the UW-Madison campus. “Our website needs to convey the full scope of our offerings at the Fluno Center, as well as how we connect with the campus community. As I had already hired Tingalls to spearhead our print marketing efforts and felt confident they would do great work on the website,” he said. “Their expertise helped guide the process efficiently and in a way that was in line with our vision and our brand. We’re thrilled with the custom, user-friendly website Tingalls delivered and continues to maintain and update for us. When I receive calls from clients, competitors and business associates asking if I can share who did our website, I’m more than happy to compliment and recommend Tingalls.”
The entire Tingalls team would like to extend a big thank you to all their colleagues who voted in the Executive Choice Awards.

Since 2006, CEC has been named to Systems Contractor News’ Top 50 Systems Integrators list, which ranks projected systems integration revenue
Hiawatha, IA (Dec. 4, 2017) – CEC, a nationally recognized systems and technology integrator based in Hiawatha, IA, is excited to announce that, for the 11th consecutive year, it has been named to the SCN Top 50 Systems Integrators List.

EatStreet co-founders named to the Forbes 30 Under 30
High-profile honorees include Madison company’s CEO and chief technology officer
Madison, Wisconsin – Forbes has named EatStreet co-founders Matt Howard and Alex Wyler to its prestigious 2018 30 Under 30, unveiled today.
Howard, CEO, and Wyler, chief technology officer, were named to the consumer technology category, marking the first time Wisconsin tech startup leaders were chosen by Forbes for this category. The 30 Under 30 includes 600 winners, ranging from top entrepreneurs and innovators to philanthropists and difference-makers.
“Matt and Alex had a vision from day one to build a pioneering, tech-based business in the Midwest,” said Joe Kirgues of gener8tor. “Being named to Forbes 30 Under 30 is reflective of their dedication to creating a successful business and solving a problem consumers care about.”
Inclusion on the list further solidifies that EatStreet’s ongoing growth and customer-focused strategies are not only effective, but also respected nationally. The recognition comes on the heels of consistent national sales growth, the addition of delivery as a core service and more than $38.5 million in venture capital funding.
Howard and Wyler co-founded EatStreet in a University of Wisconsin dorm room in 2010 to address food delivery problems they faced: trivial consumer delivery fees and lackluster service to restaurants. They’ve since built an intuitive online food-ordering and delivery platform, including a website and apps, to provide an experience that erases the distance between hungry and happy for 1.7 million diners in 250-plus U.S. cities.
“It’s amazing to be recognized on this list with other young people who are improving and changing the world,” said Matt Howard, CEO of EatStreet. “This recognition is a big deal for us, but we hope it goes beyond that by bringing more attention to our Midwest tech community, which is vibrant and full of talent.”
