Best Airline Website Trends Detailed in New Report from the Web Marketing Association

West Simsbury, CT (PRWeb) March 19, 2007 -- www.07webaward.org -- The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards, recently released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR), which includes specific benchmarking data to help the financial industry create more award-winning websites.

"As the standard of excellence for websites continues to increase, web visitors are increasingly picky about what they consider to be an effective website," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association. "The airline industry continues to exceed consumer (and WebAward judges) expectations, clearly defining themselves as leaders in website development."

The WebAwards competition evaluates airline websites on seven criteria that combined create effective websites:
•    Design
•    Innovation
•    Content
•    Technology
•    Interactivity
•    Copywriting
•    Ease of use

Airline websites are one of the few industries that have surpassed the overall ISAR Index every year for the past decade.

Airline Websites have the distinct honor of climbing to number one, highest total average score in the ISAR Index for 2006.

Airline Websites score well above the WebAward 3-year ISAR averages across all seven judging criteria.

According to the ISAR study, the airline industry scores strongest in content, copywriting and design.

The 2006 WebAward for Best Airline website went to TM Interactive for the American Airlines site, We Know Why You Fly.

Other past Bet Airline Website winners include:
- 2005 TM Interactive for American Airlines
- 2004 Cramer-Krasselt for AirTran Airways - E-Annual 2003
- 2003 Agence Braque for Jetsgo
- 2002 Air Jamaica for Air Jamaica Website
