Best Automobile Website Trends Detailed in New Report from the Web Marketing Association
West Simsbury, CT (PRWEB) April 2, 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 automobile industry 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. "Auto Websites continue to be effective because they recognize that web-savvy customers prefer to engage in online research in the privacy of their home and make it easy for them to do so."
The WebAwards competition judges automobile websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:
* Design
* Innovation
* Content
* Technology
* Interactivity
* Copywriting
* Ease of use
Each year the automotive industry consistently outperforms the overall ISAR index. It is one of the few industries that have beaten the index since the inception of the WebAwards. Automotive Web sites have outperformed the 5-year criteria benchmark averages in each of the seven categories. They are strongest in content, design, technology, and copywriting.
The 2007 WebAward for Best Automobile Web site went to Zugara for Toyota PitPass.
Other past winners include:
* 2006 Nobox Marketing Group for Una Noche IS
* 2005 Arnold Worldwide for Volkswagen 2005
* 2004 Oasis for Toyota Scion
* 2003 Jaguars Cars/Global Beach Group for The all-new XJ
* 2002 Critical Mass/Mercedes-Benz for MBUSA.com
A complete list of past winners can be found at auto.webaward.org
