September 4, 2008
Two FLEX360-designed Web sites, ArkansasBusiness.com and FloridaTrend.com, won awards at the 2008 Editorial Excellence Awards, which recognizes leading business publications across the nation.
The awards, sponsored by the Alliance of Area Business Publication, were presented to 99 newspapers and magazines on June 21st, 2008, at the three-day annual Summer Conference in Charleston, SC.
In the category of Best Website, FLEX360 client FloridaTrend.com was awarded the silver honor for offering “a wealth of interactive resources that provides users with crucial, dynamic information they’ll want to return to. It’s clear that this site is one that Florida business owners bookmark. The site also entertains readers by providing unusual content next to vital resources.”
ArkansasBusiness.com received the bronze and was praised for its “calming, relaxing color scheme that hints at an easy, leisurely reading experience. Navigation tools were exceptional and complemented the content in unusual ways. The “To Do” list was a catchy, not pushy, way to ask for user involvement with their product.”
There were 717 entries from 47 publications in 34 categories for the 2008 Alliance Editorial Excellence Awards. The contest attracted 55
entries in the newly expanded Web site categories. Divisions include Magazines, Newspapers and Open. Gold, silver and bronze awards were available in most categories.
