Last week one of our websites (Saint Joseph Academy) won an award. Yahoo!

For 9 years, the Troy Chamber of Commerce has held its Helen eWards for Web Excellence. This year over 200 sites were submitted to the competition by many Michigan-based web design and development companies. Our site for Saint Joseph Academy, a private school in Lenawee County, won in the category of “Informational Resource.” This site is jam-packed with lots of easily accessible information. One of the esteemed judges, Jim Taylor Oakland County’s eGovernment Chief, said he thought the site was a breeze to navigate and he loved the color-coded calendar – which was music to Karl the Coder’s ears because he worked for many agonous hours to make sure that calendar worked just right.

Secretly, we know that the real reason the St Joe’s site won was because it features huge, colorful photos of extra cute kids with big smiles and rosy, just-dying-to-be-pinched cheeks. Gosh, they grow cute kids in Lenawee County! The only way we’ll top the cuteness on this site is if we design a site about fuzzy kittens and/or unbearably cute baby animals. Oh wait, those sites have already been done, and they’re where we spend most of our time (when we’re not working on client projects of course!).

Here’s a photo of Catherine (our fearless leader) with Sheila (Web Mistress of St. Joe’s Academy) and yes, that’s Carol Cain, host of Michigan Matters and Detroit Free Press columnist.
