"The employment 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.

This can be accomplished by creating better design and content and integrating technology into the sites."
Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.
All 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.
Winners of a WebAward in the employment category will also receive:
? Image plaque or certificate of achievement
? 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
