Best Home Building Websites Trends Detailed in New Report from the Web Marketing Association
West Simsbury, CT (PRWeb) March 20, 2007 -- www.07webaward.org- The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards, released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR) to help home builders create more effective and engaging websites.
"As the standard of excellence for websites continues to increase, consumers (and WebAward judges) are increasingly picky about what they consider to be an effective website," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association, Inc. "Going forward, home builder websites will need to integrate more multi-media to allow visitors to virtually tour homes and neighborhoods.
The WebAwards competition judges home builder websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:
•
Design
•
Innovation
•
Content
•
Technology
•
Interactivity
•
Copywriting
•
Ease of use
Home building websites joined the WebAwards in 2003 and have out performed the overall ISAR Index every year in which it competed - although only narrowly in 2006.
According to the ISAR Study, home building websites beat the 3-year criteria averages across the board, other than content and copywriting, which they equaled.
The 2006 WebAward for Home Building website went to Hanley Wood LLC for BUILDER Online.
Other past winners include:
- 2005 Critical Mass for Andersen Windows
- 2004 Liggett-Stashower Interactive for Crane Performance Siding Web Site
- 2003 Emco Building Products Corp for DreamRoofs.com
Companies and organizations wishing to have their home building Web site evaluated against the ISAR Index and be considered for a WebAward, which can help boost a Website's credibility and marketing efforts, can learn more at www.07webaward.org.
