Quincy, MA - October 2006 - Devine & Pearson, a strategic communications agency with over 25 years of experience using creative insight to build client businesses, announced that it has received three prestigious Standard of Excellence awards for "outstanding achievement in website development" as part of the 2006 International WebAward Competition. The Web Marketing Association recognized Devine & Pearson’s web site design in the electronics category for its Boston Acoustics’ web site, and in both the biotechnology and technology divisions for its Johnson & Johnson Corporate Office of Science and Technology web site.
"We are particularly thrilled for having won this award on behalf of two valuable clients, and feel it is a testament to the breadth and balance of our creative insight and strategic skills," commented Jon Olson, Vice President and Creative Director at Devine & Pearson. "Our close collaboration with these clients enabled us to develop these two highly effective, successful sites."
The Web Marketing Association is dedicated to promoting high standards for Internet marketing and web development worldwide. Their annual WebAward Competition celebrates the best and most effective websites across 96 industry categories. Expert judges from 17 countries review each entry and compare them directly with other sites from the same industry using a consistent and rigorous set of standards. Scoring is based on criteria in seven areas of web site development: design, copywriting, ease of use, innovation, technology, interactivity, and content.
Both of Devine & Pearson’s award-winning sites received consistently high scores across the criteria headings, with overall scores that exceeded both the industry and WebAward entry averages. The sites’ marks were exceptionally high for design, copywriting and ease of use, having scored over 8 out of 10 points in each of these areas.
Excelling in three separate industry categories, based on seven distinct criteria, is a reflection of Devine & Pearson’s comprehensive skill set and ability to consistently produce competitive web sites. Devine & Pearson creates sites that maximize impact and ROI through expertise in online strategy, powerful creative processes, and intuitive design concepts.
