The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best technology websites in the world as part of their 30th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 86 industries, including technology, computer hardware, computer software, electronics, information services, SAAS (formally applications services providers) and interactive services websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for technology web sites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2026.

“In the technology sector, a company’s website is often the first proof of innovation,” stated William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Tech brands must communicate complex solutions with clarity while delivering fast, secure, scalable digital experiences that reflect the sophistication of their products. From SaaS platforms and AI integrations to developer portals, product demos, documentation hubs, and interactive roadmaps, technology websites must convert technical depth into accessible value. In a space defined by rapid iteration and intense competition, performance, usability, and thought leadership are critical differentiators. The WebAward Competition provides technology companies and their development partners with an objective evaluation against industry benchmarks, along with the high-visibility distinction of being recognized as an ‘Award-Winning Website.’ That recognition strengthens market credibility, enhances search visibility, attracts investors and enterprise clients, and validates leadership in both digital execution and technological innovation.”

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.

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’s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.

Winners of a WebAward in the technology categories will also receive:

• 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
• Social media posts for your company and personal feeds
• A highlight for your resume.
• Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers
• Unlimited bragging rights

Each year, the Web Marketing Association names the Best of Industry for the various technology categories based on the score they receive from the WebAward judges.

About the WebAwards

The Web Marketing Association was founded in 1997 to help define the standard of excellence for online marketing. Our internationally known award programs, such as WebAward Competition for Website Development, Internet Advertising Competition and the MobileWebAwards, recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing the most effective online marketing programs on the Internet today.  Entrants benefit from assessment of their marketing efforts by a professional judging panel and the marketing opportunities presented by being recognized as an award-winning web developer.

Excellence deserves recognition and the Web Marketing Association is looking for experienced Internet professionals who can help judge the Websites that are entered into its 30th annual international WebAward competition, the standards-defining award program that sets industry benchmarks based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. Interested individuals can submit their names for consideration using the WebAward Judges Nomination Form.

The 2026 WebAward Competition for Website development is currently accepting entries until May 29, 2026. Judging will begin in mid-June and run through early August.

“The WebAwards is different from other Web site award programs because we’re not just a beauty pageant focused on name recognition of big-time brands and pretty designs,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association.  “Our judges are hand-picked experts who have hands on experience either leading or developing some of today’s top Websites.  These individuals understand that participating as a judge in the WebAwards is one excellent way to give back to the online marketing community and help it to grow and evolve.”

Judges will consist of a select group of Internet professionals who have direct experience designing and managing Web sites – including members of the media, interactive creative directors, site designers, content providers and webmasters – with an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in Web site development and technology. Past judges have included top executives from leading organizations such as SapientNitro, T Rowe Price, Disney, Euro RSCG, Boeing, Huge, IBM, ING Direct, VML, Facebook, J. Walter Thompson, Gartner, Possible Worldwide, YUM!, Cuker Interactive, PayPal, Razorfish, Munich Re, Refinery, Ernst & Young, Magellan Health Service, Microsoft, R/GA, Family Cookbook Project, Saatchi & Saatchi, SAP and Universal McCann,

If you or someone some one in your organization would make a good judge, they can learn more and enter their name for consideration on the WebAward Judges Nomination Form.

“The vast majority of our judges return each year to participate again as a WebAward judge, but some need to take time off from judging and because of the popularity of the WebAwards there is a constant need for new judges”, said Rice. “Prior to the beginning of the judging, we spend several weeks discussing the current state of Web development and how it should be recognized through the WebAwards.  Being a WebAward judge is a valuable experience that helps the individual better understand overall Web development and of course looks impressive on a resume or corporate bio”.

About the WebAwards

The Web Marketing Association was founded in 1997 to help define the standard of excellence for online marketing. Our internationally known award programs, such as WebAward Competition for Website Development, Internet Advertising Competition and the MobileWebAwards, recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing the most effective online marketing programs on the Internet today.  Entrants benefit from assessment of their marketing efforts by a professional judging panel and the marketing opportunities presented by being recognized as an award-winning web developer.

The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best legal websites in the world as part of their 30th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 86 industries, including legal websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for legal websites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2026.

“In the legal industry, a firm’s website is often the deciding factor in whether a prospective client makes contact,” remarked William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Today’s legal consumers conduct extensive online research, comparing expertise, case results, client testimonials, thought leadership, and responsiveness before initiating a consultation. Law firm websites must balance professional credibility with strong conversion strategy, mobile-first performance, accessibility compliance, and secure communication tools. In a highly competitive, search-driven marketplace — particularly in practice areas like personal injury, corporate law, and family law — digital visibility directly impacts case acquisition. The WebAward Competition provides law firms and their development partners with an objective evaluation against industry benchmarks, along with the high-visibility distinction of being recognized as an ‘Award-Winning Website.’ That recognition strengthens market authority, enhances search presence, builds client trust, and validates excellence in delivering both legal expertise and digital performance.”

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

All legal 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 legal category will also receive:

• 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
• Social media posts for your company and personal feeds
• A highlight for your resume.
• Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers
• Unlimited bragging rights

Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Legal Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges.

Our internationally known award programs, such as WebAward Competition for Website Development, Internet Advertising Competition and the MobileWebAwards, recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing the most effective online marketing programs on the Internet today.  Entrants benefit from assessment of their marketing efforts by a professional judging panel and the marketing opportunities presented by being recognized as an award-winning web developer.

The Web Marketing Association is pleased to announce the call for entries for its 30th annual international WebAward competition.  The WebAwards are the standards-defining competition that sets industry benchmarks based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site.  This esteemed award program recognizes the individual and team achievements of Web professionals in 86 industries from all over the world who create and maintain outstanding Web sites.  The deadline for entry for the 2026 WebAwards is May 29, 2026.  A complete list of past winners and this year’s entry form can be found at www.webaward.org.

“Website development continues to evolve at an extraordinary pace, driven by advances in AI, personalization, performance optimization, accessibility standards, and ever-rising user expectations,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Excellence in this environment deserves meaningful recognition. The WebAwards evaluate the complete digital experience — not just visual design, but strategy, innovation, technology, content, usability, and measurable impact. It is not simply a showcase of attractive websites; it is a benchmark-driven competition grounded in real-world performance standards. The goal of the WebAwards is to recognize the teams and organizations building the most effective digital platforms on the Internet today, while also providing entrants with valuable, objective feedback on how their websites compare to industry peers and established standards of excellence.”

Websites are judged on seven criteria, including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use and receive a numeric score.  Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.  Entrants also benefit from receiving valuable feedback from the WebAwards professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts. 

WEBAWARD WINNERS

Winning a WebAward is an outstanding marketing opportunity for both the “Award-Winning Website” and the company and developers who brought the site to life. Winning Websites are honored with a dedicated Winner’s Page on our highly-ranked competition website providing significant SEO benefits, as well as recognizing the teams and individuals responsible for remarkable web development.

Physical award statues, trophies, plaques and certificates will also be available to winners at the conclusion of the competition.

TOP AWARDS

This year’s top awards will include:

A “Best of Industry” WebAward will be given in each of the 86 industry categories, including education, financial services, healthcare, small business, travel, advertising, transportation and government.  

The competition’s highest honor, the 2026 WebAward “Best of Show,” will be given to the one site that the judges believe represents the pinnacle of outstanding achievement in Web development.  Last year’s Best of Show winner was presented to Ava Labs for their outstanding work on the Ava Labs: avax.network Website.

The Web Marketing Association will also recognize the interactive agency winning the most awards in the competition with the “Top Interactive Agency” WebAward.  WSI was also named Top Agency at the 2025 WebAward Competition, taking home 12 WebAwards and earning 41 quality points. The Top Agency Award is given to recognize the consistently outstanding development going on at interactive firms.

The WebAward Top Agency award recognizes consistency of effort and is given to the interactive agency that wins the most WebAwards in a given year. All locations and offices of a specific agency will be consolidated for the purpose of determining the winner of this award. Each entrant will be awarded points based on the level of award for each award received. A Best of Show will be worth 10 points, Best of Industry 5 points and each Outstanding award 3 points and a Standard of Excellence 1 point. The agency with the most points will be awarded the Top Agency Award for 2026.

Each year, many agencies and some corporations win multiple awards and deserve additional recognition. This year, we will recognize each organization that wins 6 or more WebAwards with an Outstanding Interactive Developer trophy. In 2025, there were 10 agencies/companies recognized with this prestigious award: Tyler Technologies, Miles Partnership, Scorpion, welcome, Jack Henry, Milestone Inc., Risdall Marketing Group, Findlaw, The Deciding Factor, and Maximus.

Judging for the 30^th annual WebAwards will take place in June through August and winners will be announced in September.  Judges will consist of a select group of Internet professionals who have direct experience designing and managing Web sites –including members of the media, interactive creative directors, site designers, content providers and webmasters – with an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in Web site development and technology.
