<\/a><\/div>\n

The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best technology websites in the world as part of their 17th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at <\/span>www.webaward.org<\/a>. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including technology, computer hardware, computer software, electronics, information services, applications services providers, interactive services and internet service provider 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, 2013.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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\u2019s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.

<\/span><\/div>\n
Winners of a WebAward in the technology categories will also receive:<\/span><\/div>\n
