Website award 2016

Creating a good website isn’t easy. Most are no better than average; there may be good things about them, but far too many either forget the basics or try too hard to be ‘unique’ and end up simply difficult to use.

This year, we narrowed down a ten-strong shortlist of very good websites to the following three winners.

All are well laid out, easy to navigate, clearly written and exactly what they should be. They avoid the kind of garish palettes and over-busy elements that make many contemporary websites failures.
