•    Visual Design - High quality visual design that is appropriate and relevant for the audience and the message it is supporting.
•    Functionality - The site loads quickly, has live links, and any new technology used is functional and relevant for the intended audience.
•    Interactivity- Good interactivity allows the user to give, receive, and participate.
•    Overall Experience - Encompasses content, structure and navigation, visual design, functionality, and interactivity, while also including the intangibles that make a user stay.

"It is a great honor for the site to be named an Official Honoree of the Webby Awards," said David Drimer, Associate Publisher of the Forward. "Recognition of this caliber draws even more traffic to the site and highlights the level of quality and standards being set for advertisers."
