The Web Marketing Association has recognized Blackbaud school websites in the prestigious WebAwards competition for the seventh year in a row. Since its inception in 1997, the WebAwards have been the leading award program for website developers and the online marketing community.
“We are honored to receive three WebAwards again this year,” said Mark Davis, Vice President of Education Products, Blackbaud. “One of Blackbaud’s company values is ‘powered by purpose’ and we are motivated by more than creating great software. We’ve been collaborating with school leaders for more than 40 years, and delivering exceptional websites is one way we help them grow enrollment and further their missions. The WebAwards are a testament to our partnerships, and the passion private and independent schools bring to work every day.”
Independent expert judges from around the world evaluated websites in 97 industry categories. They determine the winners by scoring based on seven criteria: design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting, and ease of use. They selected three Blackbaud websites for honors:
