Best Transportation Website Trends Detailed in New Report from the Web Marketing Association
West Simsbury, CT (PRWEB) April 6, 2008 -- WebAward08.org (http://www.webaward.org/bestwebsites.asp?gad=CLuN0dkDEgiWfXzHcjWjThi6nML_AyC33JU2) - The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards, released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR) to help the transportation industry learn to 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. "The Internet has helped to take the transportation industry from a mail room vendor to an indispensable business tool. Transportation websites include many features that at one time were innovative, but now seem commonplace."
The WebAwards competition judges transportation websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:
? Design
? Innovation
? Content
? Technology
? Interactivity
? Copywriting
? Ease of use
Transportation Web sites have outperformed the overall ISAR index four times and have underperformed seven times in eleven years. While their scores were greatly improved in 2007, the three years prior scores resulted in the transportation industry lagging behind the 5-year criteria benchmark averages in all areas. Transportation sites are strongest in content and design and weaker in innovation and technology.
The 2007 WebAward for Best Transportation website went to Wunderman for Team Detroit Reach Higher.
Other past winners include:
- 2006 Arnold Worldwide for Freedom of the Seas website
- 2005 eCourier for ECourier's website
- 2004 Onlinefocus for FedEx Identity
- 2003 IS Solutions for GetMe There
- 2002 FedEd InSight Team for FedEx InSight
A complete list of past winners can be found at transportation.webaward.org.
