"As the standard of excellence for websites continues to increase, web visitors are increasingly picky about what they consider to be an effective website," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association. "Family Web sites tend to have a clear understanding of their target audience and provide strong content to support their user's experience."

The WebAwards competition evaluates family websites on seven criteria that combined create effective websites:

?    Design

?    Innovation

?    Content

?    Technology

?    Interactivity

?    Copywriting

?    Ease of use

Family oriented Web sites have consistently outperformed the ISAR index for the past eleven years. They are one of only a few industries that beat the index year after year. Family Web sites outperformed the 5-year criteria benchmark score in copywriting and have matched the benchmark in ease of use and content. Content and copywriting are this industries strong suit while these sites could use improvement in innovation, technology and interactivity.
