Starkmedia Receives WebAward for International Crane Foundation Site Redesign

MILWAUKEE, WI - September 27, 2005

Starkmedia continues to receive accolades for its interactive marketing endeavors as it accepts its first WebAward from the Web Marketing Association (WMA). The firm received an Outstanding Website WebAward for its redesign of the International Crane Foundation (ICF) web site, savingcranes.org. The site was chosen out of entries submitted by a wide range of agencies located throughout the world.

All web sites entered into this year's WebAward Competition were judged on design, innovation, content, technology, copywriting, and ease of use. With the maximum possible score being 70, savingcranes.org received between sixty and seventy points to achieve Outstanding Website status. According to the Web Marketing Association, the judges assigned to the site enjoyed the interactive features of the web site, which include the sounds of different crane species, a research library, and travel journals. They also praised the aesthetic appeal and simple navigation of the site.

"It's great to receive an award for outstanding work that communicates our commitment to excellence," said Ken Stark, president of Starkmedia. "It's even more exciting that our work is being recognized among some of the top agencies in the industry."

To celebrate the collaborative effort put into the development of the site, both Starkmedia and the ICF will receive a commemorative plaque from the WMA. Ann Burke, Director of Public Relations at the ICF, said, "People frequently write to tell us that not only is the website beautiful isually, but how well written and organized the content is. The web developers at Starkmedia really communicated our vision for this website, and we continue to be thrilled with the results."
