Earlier this year, we were honored to be nominated by .net magazine as Agency of the Year. We’re still blown away by it, and it got us thinking: A little while ago, .net announced their 25 favorite books for web designers and developers. We thought their list was pretty stellar, so we decided to celebrate…
Tomorrow at Centresource, we’re turning it red! Our team is partnering with the local non-profit blood:water mission to ‘Turn It: Red’ on World AID’s Day. Over 33 million people in the world are infected with HIV/AIDS, and two thirds of them live in Sub-Saharan Africa. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution to AIDS, blood:water mission…

Odds are, that guru failed to consult with…

A little over a year ago, we at Centresource made a pretty significant shift in the way we evaluate the job performance of our staff by introducing The Merit System™, a great way to help our team know how they’re doing on a bi-weekly basis. One big part of the merit system is our Badge…
