Best Healthcare Provider Web Site of 2007 to be Named by Web Marketing Association in Annual WebAward Competition

West Simsbury, CT (PRWEB) May 14, 2007 -- The Web Marketing Association announces the call for entries for its 11th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at Web Award Web site. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including healthcare provider web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for healthcare provider web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2007.

"The healthcare provider industry is very competitive when it comes to Web development and companies can benefit from the independent evaluation of their online efforts," said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. "The healthcare provider industry is new to WebAwards. Both years, judges have scores these websites below the WebAwards average, although they scored the highest in content. By integrating technology and interactivity aspects, healthcare provider websites can better engage visitors."

Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.

All entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific 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 healthcare provider category will also receive:
•    Image plaque or certificate of achievement
•    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
•    Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers

Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Healthcare Provider Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges. Recent winners of the Best Healthcare Provider Web site include:

2006 - Clockwork Active Media Systems for J&D Dental
2005 - Twist Image for Mount Sinai Hospital Montreal

Using the quantifiable data collected from more than 15,000 Web site evaluations over the past decade, the WebAwards has defined and recognized industry-specific benchmarks for successful Web sites in each of the seven judging criteria and released an Internet Standards Assessment Report to detail the findings of the study. A copy of the 2008 Internet Standards Assessment Report, including details regarding the healthcare provider industry, will be provided to all participants.

Judging for the 2007 WebAwards will take place in June through August, with winners announced in September. Judges will consist of a select group of Internet marketing professionals who have direct experience designing and managing Web sites with an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in Web site development and technology.
