The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best technology websites in the world as part of their 28th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 90 industries, including technology, computer hardware, computer software, electronics, information services, SAAS (formally applications services providers) and interactive services websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for technology web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2024.
“In the fast-paced world of technology, websites serve as the frontline in a fiercely competitive battle for attention,” stated William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Benefiting from an unbiased critique of their web presence, companies in the tech sector can significantly enhance their online strategies. Historically, technology websites have excelled in design and interactivity, yet there’s always room for innovation. Judges have noted that embracing creativity not only distinguishes a site from its rivals but also leaves a lasting impression on visitors. The WebAward Competition emerges as a vital arena for spotlighting and advancing excellence in web development, encouraging companies to push boundaries and captivate users like never before.”
Websites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the technology category is judged against other technology websites and then against an overall standard of excellence.
All technology entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific criteria scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward’s professional judging panel on their Website development efforts.
Winners of a WebAward in the technology categories will also receive:
· A limited-edition Commemorative NFT
· Increased visibility for their company
· Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media
· Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO
· Social media posts for your company and personal feeds
· A highlight for your resume.
· Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers
· Unlimited bragging rights
Each year, the Web Marketing Association names the Best of Industry for the various technology categories based on the score they receive from the WebAward judges.
