Thanks
Web design has come a long way in the two short years that the Web Standards Awards have been running. When we published our very first award (The 85th PGA Championship) we had to search high and low for sites that could meet our high expectations of both design and coding. Since then we've awarded exactly 99 other sites that have carried on that same spirit of technical and aesthetic achievement that we set out to highlight.
Now we've arrived at a situation where beautiful sites with beautiful code are being produced by the hundreds; every month, every week, every day. It's no longer a myth that you can produce a stunning site with Web Standards, and the most that our team can hope for is that the Web Standards Awards played at least a tiny part in helping to dispel that fallacy.
Effect or not, we feel that our mission is complete, that Standards have now ensured their rightful place in the process of Web design. So, it's time to hang up our spurs and focus our attention where it's needed most.
As a testament to the work of the pioneers who we applauded, this site will remain open as a record of 100 sites that helped shape a period in the Internet's development that we were — and still are — excited to be a part of.
Thanks for watching ...
