These prestigious awards reaffirm WSI's premier position in the advanced and fast-paced Internet industry.

The WebAwards recognized WSI for its remarkable development and design work over several websites developed for various organizations and institutions.

Ron McArthur, president, WSI said, “Considered the Internet's premier award competition, each submission competes based on seven specific criteria, including design, innovation, content, interactivity, copywriting, ease of use and use of technology. Global leaders such as Disney, UPS Whiteboard, Honda, FedEx and more annually compete to be awarded with a WMA WebAward. This year, we showcased excellence on behalf of our WSI Consultants by submitting seven outstanding WSI sites for the WMA WebAwards. We are absolutely thrilled and very proud that three out of the seven WSI submissions have emerged winners in their industry categories.”

He went on further to congratulate the individuals responsible for developing the award winning websites, “…WSI Consultants Bruce Dunnan (New Jersey, USA) and Mehboob Janmohamed (Alberta, Canada) and WSI production centres, Voloper Creations Inc and Infolink for bringing great honour to WSI by winning these WebAwards. ” Mehboob Janmohamed, WSI Consultant remarked, “Winning a WMA WebAward demonstrates that the WSI certification and training program really prepares us to deliver a quality product to our clients. That, together with world class WSI Production Centers, allows us to be ahead of the wave. We can continue to innovate and stay competitive, helping our customers lead their industries too.”

The greatest honour for the company, however, is the extremely positive feedback that WSI receives from its clients. P&O Cruises, a UK based company , for instance, says that its website developed by WSI boasts a simple yet effective design radiating the spirit of holiday adventures, easy-to-navigate architecture, robust corporate branding, and easy-to-handle administrative tools for its staff to manage bookings and update online information.

For New Jersey, USA based Cornerstone Design, having a website that matched and reflected its supremacy in the home building and design field was critical.
