West Simsbury, CT (PRWEB) April 1, 2008 -- The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards (WebAward08.org (http://www.webaward.org/bestwebsites.asp?gad=CLuN0dkDEgiWfXzHcjWjThi6nML_AyC33JU2)), released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR) to help the design industry create more effective and engaging websites.
"As the standard of excellence for websites continues to increase, consumers (and WebAward judges) are increasingly picky about what they consider to be an effective website," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association, Inc. "Design websites tend to push the envelope when it comes to innovation and adapting new concepts for display on their websites."
The WebAwards competition judges design websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:
? Design
? Innovation
? Content
? Technology
? Interactivity
? Copywriting
? Ease of use
Design Web sites have closely mirrored the ISAR index for the past decade with eight years of equal slightly better performance. Despite these average scores, design Web sites have scored higher than the 5-year criteria averages only in the innovation area. All other
scores by criteria fell below the WebAward averages. According to the study, design Web sites are best at content, copywriting, and design.
The 2007 WebAward for Best Design Website went to Walt Disney Internet Group Disney.com / Disney XD. This site also had the honor of taking home the Best of Show WebAward.
Other past winners include:
- 2006 Publicis Net for Experience Wonder You
- 2005 R/GA for the Nokia Nseries Sitelet
- 2004 Gigapixel Creative
- 2003 Arnold Worldwide for the Touareg
- 2002 PriceWeber, Inc for Canadian Mist Website
- 2001 Hillmancurtis, Inc for Adobe.com
A complete list of past winners can be found at design.webaward.org.
Companies and organizations wishing to have their design website evaluated against the ISAR Index and be considered for a WebAward, which can help boost a Website's credibility and marketing efforts, can learn more at WebAward08.org (http://www.webaward.org/bestwebsites.asp?gad=CLuN0dkDEgiWfXzHcjWjThi6nML_AyC33JU2).
