Awards are always good and I have to say that an award is a really nice way to round off a successful year. We have won a “Best in Class” Interactive Media Award for the site we made for EH Smith Specialist Facades at www.ehsmithfacades.co.uk.

This award brings our tally to three for the last quarter of 2009 with two for Trident Housing Association’s website.

The site is aimed at architects so we planned a very visual website. The usual content management features were required to run the site. We were fortunate that EH Smith had some fantastic photos of some of the buildings that had used their products so we decided to make a feature of these and placed a large image in the background of the site. We also added a fade-down feature for the site to expose the photo fully.

The notification we recieved said:

Congratulations! We are happy to announce that your entry into the IMA competition, the EH Smith Specialist Facades website (entered October 15, 2009), under the category ‘Building/Construction’, has won the IMA Best in Class Award with an overall score of 483.

The Best in Class award is the highest honor bestowed by the Interactive Media Awards. It represents the very best in planning, execution and overall professionalism. In order to win this award level, your site had to successfully pass through our comprehensive judging process, achieving very high marks in each of our judging criteria – an achievement only a fraction of sites in the IMA competition earn each year.

I am very pleased with this award as we have worked very hard, not only on this site, this year so it shows we are obviously doing something right. Hopefully we will be able to build on this next year to have a fantastic 2010!

We are now the proud owners of an Interactive Media Award. The award was for the Trident Housing Association website at www.trident-ha.org.uk . Judged on an international standard we achieved 478 out of a possible 500 points which I think is pretty darn good!
