Web Marketing Association Makes Call for Entries for Annual WebAward Competition
Type: News

The Web Marketing Association announced the call for entries for its 15th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at webaward.org.

The WebAwards is a competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including legal websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site, according to the group. The deadline for legal websites to enter to be judged is May 27.
"The legal industry is very competitive when it comes to Web development and companies can benefit from the independent evaluation of their online efforts," said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. "Not surprisingly, legal websites are not known for taking risks it's the way their industry is. They score well in terms of ease of use, design and content, but past judges have noted they would like to see more use of technology and innovation."

The group noted web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the legal category is judged against other legal entries and then against an overall standard of excellence.

All legal entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward's professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.

Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Legal Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges. Recent winners of the Best Legal Web site include:

2010 - WilmerHale for WilmerHale Careers
