The Olympic games remind us that true greatness is achieved through endless dedication and skill.
Winning requires precision and attention to detail, thrives on speed and efficiency, depends on seamless performance, is built on a solid foundation, involves creativity and innovation, and means standing out in a competitive field, just like your website should. That’s why we launched the Go for Gold contest: to start the conversations within the web design community and highlight those who truly stand out.
After an extensive review of a number of entries, we’re excited to reveal the winners who have demonstrated outstanding website design. As judges we assessed each website based on design, functionality, user experience, and overall impact. Here are the winners of the Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards for this year’s contest.
