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 universities and colleges 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. "To increase effectiveness, university websites need to find the appropriate balance between a fiscally-minded administration and an extremely web-savvy student body."

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

? Design

? Innovation

? Content

? Technology

? Interactivity

? Copywriting

? Ease of use

University Web sites have demonstrated split performance within the ISAR index. They outperformed the index five times, underperformed four times, and matched the index twice. University sites have underperformed the 5-year criteria benchmark averages in all areas. They score highest in content, copywriting, and design, but lag in innovation,

The 2007 WebAward for Best University Website went to The Art Institute of Pittsburgh for The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Web site.

Other past winners include:

- 2006 Xavier University for the Road to Xavier website

- 2005 Geary Interactive for San Diego State University Timeline

- 2004 School of Visual Arts

- 2003 160over90 for Chestnut Hill College Admissions Site

- 2002 University of Houston for the Division of University Advancement website

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