The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best medical websites in the world as part of their 30th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site developmentat www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 86 industries, including healthcare, healthcare provider, medical, medical equipment, biotechnology and pharmaceutical websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for medical-related websites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2026.
“In the medical field, a website is often the first step in a patient’s care journey,” remarked William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Patients expect secure online scheduling, physician search tools, telehealth access, symptom resources, insurance guidance, and mobile-friendly portals that simplify complex healthcare decisions. Medical organizations must balance compassionate communication with strict HIPAA compliance, accessibility standards, cybersecurity protections, and accurate clinical information. In a trust-centered environment, clarity and usability directly influence patient confidence and engagement. The WebAward Competition provides medical practices, hospitals, and healthcare systems with an objective evaluation against industry benchmarks, along with the high-visibility distinction of being recognized as an ‘Award-Winning Website.’ That recognition enhances credibility, strengthens patient trust, improves search visibility, and validates a provider’s commitment to delivering high-quality digital healthcare experiences.”
Websites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the Health Care category is judged against other healthcare sites and then against an overall standard of excellence.
All medical-related 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 Web site development efforts.
Winners of a WebAward in the health care category will also receive:
- 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 medical categories based on the score they receive from the WebAward judges.
