- - - Something to Think About - - -
Every time Internet Technology changes, which it does on a regular basis, just think back to the last electronic device you purchased. Whether it was a PC, Tablet, Laptop, Cell Phone or TV the technology that you purchased begins aging the minute you walk out of the store.
It's no different with your Web presence. Web Technology is also constantly changing, and it's important to be aware of the changes and proceed
appropriately.
- - - A Special Note For Our Existing Turnkey Design Clients - - -
We are offering the special price of $500 to upgrade your existing Turnkey Site with Mobile Plug-In to our Responsive Design theme. If your site went live before May 1, 2013 and you are interested in upgrading, please contact us at sales@acorn-is.com.

Acorn IS PARTNERING with
Google's Niantic Labs Field Trip App
 In last quarter's newsletter, we shared that we were going to work on a project that would hopefully allow us to feed data to the Google's Niantic Labs Field Trip App that was Released on March 7, 2013.
We knew at the time that the requirements to have a feed be considered for integration by this app were quite stringent.
We are so happy to share that our new Go-Trippin Web site, powered by Acorn IS, has been selected as one of 100 different "things to see and do" informational feeds that have been accepted to go into Google's Niantic Labs Field Trip App!
At this time, we are the ONLY Company in our Industry that has been accepted.
Learn More about the Field Trip program at Field Tripper
Stay tuned for more information and a sneak peak of our first feed, and many thanks to our 20 Acorn University Students who became Beta Contributors for this project. It was YOU that helped us make this happen! YOU ROCK!
