Tachyon Solution , the company behind the magnificent ecommerce redesign of Sally Beauty Supply, recently received a Silver Award in the 2009 W3 Awards competition of the International Academy of the Visual Arts.

The academy is an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from media, advertising and marketing firms, and the awards are handed out to outstanding websites, web marketing and web video. Nearly 3,000 entries were received this year.

“Creating the Sally Beauty Supply site was one of our favorite projects this year, and we had a wonderful collaboration with the ecommerce team at Sally Beauty Supply,” says Marion Lewis, Tachyon Solutions chief executive officer. “We are all proud of what we accomplished, and we are gratified to have won this award from such a prestigious international organization.”

Richard BenBassett, Sally Beauty’s senior director of ecommerce, adds, “Tachyon was a creative and responsive partner for the redesign of our site. We are pleased with the results and are gratified that the site was chosen for an award.”

These days SBS—the world’s largest retailer of professional beauty supplies with more than 2,800 brick-and-mortar sites—is doing a heck of a lot of things right. On Nov. 19 in its fiscal 2009 fourth-quarter results, it reported sales up 2% as well as 3.1% same-store sales growth from its fiscal 2008 fourth quarter. Look for SBS to continue expanding its online beauty retailing into 2010 and beyond.
