Web Appeal awards for design excellence

Creative Designs add visual excitement to compliment these sites messages, products and "Web Appeal"

Good designs in web pages rewards the authors and viewers equally. Never before have the masses had a chance to express themselves to such a diverse audience. Our site reviewers have spent thousands of hours "surfing the Web" and are still amazed by the imagination, creativity and artistic ability of both amateur and professional web designers. This is one category where there is a level playing ground, regardless of budget restraints, because the Web is the showplace for original graphic ideas and talented artists. The media publishing costs are negligible, and often the "shoe string" site will outshine the well funded corporate "Ad Agency" generated site by being a -labor of love....

Design Award Considerations:

Tasteful display of content blended with compelling meaningful graphics.
Over all visual effects ( backgrounds, buttons, spacers, navigation aids )
Creative animations, multi-media, & splash intro screens or dynamic product displays
Original Art vs. canned clip art and stock photos. Sites like www.i-us.com can guide you on techniques. All the images here were done with Paintshop Pro.
Good Navagation aids and overall appearance with emphasis on the words.
Visual excitement should be prevelent on the opening page drawing the visitor into the site. All should be done without exceeding the image size of 35K max. Large images should be thumbnailed.
