Celebrating Websites that Work
Welcome to our
Website Awards, celebrating the websites of
Huddersfield based firms
like you. We want to show the consumers and businesses of
Huddersfield that they can get the services and goods they need
right here within a few miles of their home or office PC.
We are looking to show off all types
of websites from single to multi pagers, flashy to functional,
clean and precise to emotional & quirky. We are looking for what
works. Our panel of judges (all invited from the local business community
each month) will
select a website based on its functionality, ease of navigation
and visual appeal with each website's individual target market in
mind.
It's FREE
to enter and the Winners will be given lots of publicity
designed to get them more customers and the chance to win
Website of the Year. So simply email
webawards@virtualhuddersfield.com, and tell us your web
address, or that of a company you wish to nominate.

but this was no bad thing as it made me want to know
more! The use of blogs and twitter feed made the
pages feel current and engaging. "
