— 04 / How we judge
Five criteria, weighted, normalized, public.
Every nominee is reviewed against the same seven criteria. Scores are published with the award. Nothing is anonymous, nothing is paid.
01
User Experience & Strategy
Intentional journeys that earn the visitor's time. Strategy must be visible in the design, not assumed.
15%weight
02
Visual Design & Branding
Visuals that feel both original and unmistakably on brand. Decorative competence is not enough.
15%weight
03
Content & Storytelling
Messaging that communicates value quickly and rewards deeper exploration. Words count as much as pixels.
10%weight
04
Accessibility & Inclusivity
Inclusive practices that serve diverse needs. Baseline compliance is the floor, not the ceiling.
10%weight
05
Performance & Technical Implementation
Engineering that makes the experience feel immediate, stable, and trustworthy. Heavy sites do not win.
20%weight
06
Responsiveness & Multi-device Support
Layouts that adapt fluidly across breakpoints and input modes — not just a mobile fallback of the desktop view.
10%weight
07
Innovation & Future Readiness
Work that pushes the medium forward — original concepts, responsible use of new technology, durable thinking.

About the nominees index.
- How are web design award nominees scored?
- Every nominee is reviewed against seven weighted criteria: user experience & strategy (15%), visual design & branding (15%), content & storytelling (10%), accessibility & inclusivity (10%), performance & technical implementation (20%), responsiveness & multi-device support (10%), and innovation & future readiness (20%). Final overall scores are published alongside each award and refreshed as judges complete their reviews.
- When does public voting open for nominees?
- Editorial review happens in the open while a cycle is live. The public ballot opens at the end of each monthly cycle once the shortlist is locked, and remains open until the next edition begins.
- Can any agency or studio submit a website?
- Yes. Submissions are open year-round to studios, agencies, freelancers, and in-house teams worldwide. One submission per site launch keeps the index curated and prevents duplicate entries.
- Are nominees vetted before they appear on this page?
- Every nominee on the index has passed editorial vetting for craft, concept, and technical fit before being published. Submissions that don't meet baseline quality are not listed.
- How often are new website nominees added?
- New nominees are added continuously throughout each monthly cycle. The frontrunner, average score, and category counts on this page update as judges score new entries.
