Town of Sylvan Lake recognized for website development excellence
Posted on:
September 7, 2017 – The Town of Sylvan Lake’s new website, sylvanlake.ca, is the winner of an Outstanding Website award for the 2017 WebAwards Competition – an international internet marketing and development competition judged through seven criteria:
- Design
- Innovation
- Content
- Technology
- Interactivity
- Copywriting
- Ease of use
Developed in partnership with eSolutionsGroup, a leading modular website and mobile applications provider to Canada’s public sector, the municipal website redevelopment project took approximately eight months to complete, and included input from the public. The final result is an interactive, user-friendly website that is the Town of Sylvan Lake’s primary tool of communication.
“We were committed to developing a website that our public could know and count on as a trusted source of municipal information. We had a great group of Town staff that spent a lot of hours working on this, a lot of great feedback from our community, and we’re proud of the final product.” – Joanne Gaudet, Communications, and Website Project Manager
Produced by the Web Marketing Association (WMA) and now in its 17th year, the WebAward Competition is the longest running annual website award competition. Each year, the competition names the best websites in 96 industries, setting a standard of excellence for all website development.
Open to organizations and individuals involved in the process of developing websites for organizations, companies and government, the WebAward Competition provides valuable feedback for future development whenever possible. Entrant scores are presented as benchmark data, showing an entrant’s score for each criterion against the industry average and WebAward average.
