Best Institutional Services Website Detailed in New Report from the Web Marketing Association

West Simsbury, CT (PRWeb) March 26, 2007 -- institutional services industry create more effective and engaging websites.

"As the standard of excellence for websites continues to increase, consumers (and WebAward judges) are increasingly picky about what they consider to be an effective website," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association, Inc. "Institutional Services typically rely on a strong sales force and have often not invested in leading edge web development."

The WebAwards competition judges institutional services websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:
•    Design
•    Innovation
•    Content
•    Technology
