The appraisal of bank websites covers seven areas: design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each entry in the bank category is evaluated alongside similar bank entries and then to a universal standard of web excellence.

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

Participants in the bank category are rewarded with valuable feedback, showing where their scores stand compared to the averages in their industry. They also have the chance to receive particular feedback from the WebAward’s judging panel on their website development efforts.
