Boston, MA, March 26, 2025 — The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best healthcare websites in the world as part of their 29th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 86 industries, including healthcare, healthcare provider, medical, medical equipment, biotechnology and pharmaceutical websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for Healthcare websites to enter to be judged is May 30, 2025.
“Recognition is key to excellence, especially in the fiercely competitive healthcare web development landscape, where numerous organizations stand out for their digital endeavors,” remarked William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “With the ongoing evolution of the healthcare sector, the significance of maintaining a robust online footprint cannot be overstated. Healthcare websites, known for their substantial content and effective copywriting, play a critical role in positioning these organizations as reliable medical authorities. Historically, these platforms have been praised by our judges for their user-friendly design and ease of navigation. The WebAward Competition presents a valuable platform for healthcare websites to gain external validation and demonstrate their dedication to educating and engaging patients.”
Websites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the Health Care category is judged against other healthcare sites and then against an overall standard of excellence.
All entrants in the healthcare category receive essential feedback comparing their specific scores to their industry’s averages. Additionally, they can get direct feedback from the WebAward’s panel of expert judges on their web development projects.
