Best Financial Services Website to be Named by Web Marketing Association in 24th Annual WebAward Competition

Boston, MA, March 05, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best Financial Services websites in the world as part of their 24th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including banking, credit union, insurance, investment, mutual funds and financial services websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for Financial-related web sites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2020.

“The financial services industry understands the importance of having a comprehensive website for its customers,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Financial websites have the additional burden of a high level of government regulation that needs to be taken into account when reviewing a website. Having you web development efforts reviewed by an independent organization can only help improve future efforts.”

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

All financial services 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 financial services categories will also receive:
· Handsome statue 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
· A highlight for your resume.
· Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers
