Best Restaurant Websites to be Named by Web Marketing Association

Boston, MA, March 27, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The Web Marketing Association is looking for the Best Restaurant Websites in the world as part of their 21st annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at the WebAward Web site. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including restaurant web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for real estate web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2017.

“Restaurant industry marketing has been truly transformed by the Internet,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “People have many choices when it comes to how to spend their dining dollars and the first thing they turn to is a restaurant’s website. Having that aspect of your restaurant website reviewed is just one benefit of participating in the annual WebAward program. Being named an ‘award-winner’ can help with marketing as well.”

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

Here are the past Best Restaurant WebAward winners:
