Hi All

One of my sites won a bronze award here (Its on the home page there)

http://webawards.co.za/main.php

Have anyone won something here ? Cant really see whats the use of it :wtf: As to me it looks like anyone can start a site like this

Also apparently your site is reviewed by 3 panellist now the funny part the only website with Gold status looks to me like the company that developed that site (Maybe they part of the anc)

Websites submitted to SA Web Awards are evaluated according to four categories: content, layout, functionality and overall appeal. The judges' scores for each category can be viewed by the website's owner or webmaster after the website has been reviewed.

What I dont seem to understand

Basically for me a site achieving any award has to be the following

- Easy to navigate
- W3C Compliant (Yes it has to be)
- No flash
- Well structured sites - no pop ups and crap like that
- Contents this is a difficult part but just needs to be relevant no use in showing a graphics banner on a plumbers website
- Overall layout not cluttered
- SEO (Img alt tag, html 5 tags, use of <bold>, h1, mostly basics )

Can you guys recommend some criteria as well please

My site I would give about 70% some of the sites on there is not even 20%

Congrats.

Myself won a couple of awards there, although I am not sure about the manner in which they decide or who even decide...

I don't see the point of reviewing web sites. It's not like it's a try before buy scenario.. just go there and see for yourself.
