			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In mid August Steve blogged about the redesigned <a href="http://blog.networksolutions.com/2008/most-about-us-pages-are-boringnot-the-new-about-network-solutions-site/" target="_blank">Network Solutions Website</a>. Having a presence online is one thing, but Network Solutions not only relies on it&#8217;s website, but also provides it&#8217;s customers with the resources to create their own. So it&#8217;s only natural that our website should set a high standard &amp; serve as an exceptional example.</p>
<p>The Web Marketing Association has done just that by announcing that they have given Network Solutions the 2008 Outstanding Website Award for it&#8217;s innovative and elegant storefront design! There were 2,400 entries from 45 countries around the world competing.</p>
<p><span id="more-231"></span></p>
<p>The process for selection was that the site was presented to a panel of three judges who were assuming the role as a customer. After the presentation the site was evaluated based on seven different criteria.</p>
<p>Sophie Shiatis Delpierre, Vice President of Web Sales &amp; Online Marketing for Network Solutions said “Our scores were very high in the areas of content, technology, interactivity and copywriting, which demonstrates that our site achieves its main purpose by providing an excellent experience for our customers.”</p>
<p>This is the twelfth year of the WebAwards &amp; it&#8217;s the premier competition that gauges the excellence of sites on the web.</p>
