Entries to the international awards came from 52 countries around the world. Each was assessed by three judges from a panel of industry leaders who are told the website's mission statement and target audience. They then visit the site, assume the role of a target user and judge according to seven criteria: design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting and ease-of-use.
VetSurgeon.org scored the highest marks for content, interactivity and copywriting.
VetSurgeon.org Editor Arlo Guthrie said: "VetSurgeon.org was entered by our team of developers at 4Roads Ltd without me knowing about it, so this came as a very nice surprise. Particularly when you consider that other winners of a Standard of Excellence Award included the BBC, Leica, Mitsubishi Electric, Cisco, Dell, Deloitte and Philip Morris. That's very illustrious company to be in!"
