\"\"<\/a>The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best small business Websites in the world as part of their 24th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at the WebAward Web site<\/a>. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including a category for small business websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for small business web sites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmall business marketing has been truly transformed by the Internet,\u201d said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. \u201cA small business company\u2019s websites can now allow that company to do business all over the world, if that website is effective. Having that aspect of your small business website reviewed is just one benefit of participating in the annual WebAward program. Being named an \u2018award-winner\u2019 can help with marketing as well\u201d.<\/p>\n

Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use.
