Websites

Content
Content is the information provided on the site. It is not just text, but music, sound, animation, or video – anything
that communicates a site’s body of knowledge. Good content should be engaging, relevant, and appropriate for the
audience; you can tell it’s been developed for the Web because it’s clear and concise and it works in the medium.
Good content takes a stand. It has a voice and a point of view. It may be informative, useful, or funny, but it always
leaves you wanting more.

Structure and Navigation


Structure and navigation refers to the framework of a site, the organization of content, the prioritization of
information, and the method in which you move through the site. Sites with good structure and navigation are
consistent, intuitive, and transparent. They allow you to form a mental model of the information provided: where to
find things and what to expect when you click. Good navigation gets you where you want to go quickly and offers
easy access to the breadth and depth of the site’s content.

Visual Design
Visual design is the appearance of the site. It’s more than just a pretty homepage, and it doesn’t have to be cutting
edge or trendy. Good visual design is high quality, appropriate, and relevant for the audience and the message it is
supporting. It communicates a visual experience and may even take your breath away.

Functionality
Functionality is the use of technology on the site. Good functionality means the site works well. It loads quickly, has
live links, and any new technology used is functional and relevant for the intended audience. The site should work
cross-platform and be browser independent. Highly functional sites anticipate the diversity of user requirements
from file size and format to download speed. The most functional sites also take into consideration those with
special access needs. Good functionality makes the experience center stage and the technology invisible.

Interactivity
Interactivity is the way that a site allows you to perform an action. Good interactivity is more than a rollover or
choosing what to click on next; it allows you, as a user, to give and receive. This includes searches, chat rooms, e-
commerce, gaming or notification agents, peer-to-peer applications, and real-time feedback. Interactive elements are
what separates the Web from other media. Their inclusion should make it clear that you aren’t reading a magazine or
watching TV anymore. It insists that you participate, not spectate.

Innovation
Innovative work often pushes the boundaries of what’s been done before. When considering Innovation, examine
whether the idea is new, or merely iterating on a previous idea. Is the work fundamentally different from existing
ideas, products or executions? Does the technology work? Does the innovation alter the way technology is
developed and utilized in the future?
Note: This criteria only applies to the Technical Achievement category

Overall Experience
Demonstrating that sites are frequently more or less than the sum of their parts, the overall experience encompasses
content, visual design, functionality, interactivity, and structure and navigation, but it also includes the intangibles
that make one stay or leave. One has probably had a good overall experience if (s)he comes back regularly, places a
bookmark, signs up for a newsletter, participates, emails the site to a friend, or is intrigued enough to stay for a
while.
