Best Political Website Trends Detailed in New Report from the WebMarketing...

WebAward.org (http://www.webaward.org/bestwebsites.asputm_source='s38;utm_medium=release's38;utm_term=Political's38;utm_content=ISAR's38;utm_campaign=WebAward) - The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards, released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR) to help the political industry learn to create more effective and engaging websites.

The political industry is very competitive when it comes to Web development and companies can benefit from the independent evaluation of their online efforts, said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. Few would doubt that political web sites had a significant impact on 2008'ss election dynamics. All candidates recognized the amazing reach that an effective website can have on voter opinion and donor solicitation.

The WebAwards competition judges Political websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:

>    Design

>    Innovation

>    Content

>    Technology

>    Interactivity

>    Copywriting

>    Ease of use

It is no surprise that an election year brought huge success in the political industry'ss ISAR scores. New to the ISAR study last year, political sites earned the fifth highest overall score in this year'ss ISAR. Political sites had the highest copywriting scores, second highest interactivity scores, third highest in ease of use, and fourth highest in both content and technology.

The 2008 WebAward for Best Political Website went to Syrup for Hope. Act. Change.

Other past winners include:

>    2007 Molecular for the Mitt Romney for President Website

>    2006 Brody PR for the Wall Street Journal'ss OpinionJournal.com

>    2005 Brody PR for the Wall Street Journal'ss OpinionJournal.com

A complete list of past winners can be found at political.webaward.org.
