The Best of The Web: themission Good Web Guide Awards 2018

prestigious Awards

Back by popular demand! A new search for the Website of the Year was announced today as The Good Web Guide launches its ninth annual awards, in partnership with themission.

These "prestigious Awards" were set up to celebrate the very best and most exciting websites and apps, promoting those that are original and engage the visitor from that very first click.

Over the past nine years, the Awards have unearthed some extraordinary sites and pushed them into the spotlight. The Good Web Guide prides itself on its track record of backing winners, including Biscuiteers, Bloom & Wild, onefinestay, Trusted Housesitters, Foxtons, Honestly Healthy, and many more.

From today, the race is now under way to find the best, most innovative websites and apps, the ones that become firm favourites on our mobiles, tablets and PCs. Appealing to established online players and grass roots startups, themission Good Web Guide Awards offer an unmissable opportunity for brands to get their digital presence in front of leading entrepreneurs, journalists and influencers.

A team of highly respected judges from the online industry, including Kinvara Balfour, Kelly Eastwood and Anna Tyzack will pick the winning sites and apps, whilst readers vote for the People's Choice.

The Good Web Guide is delighted to be working once again with themission, the marketing and communications group, as headline sponsor.

David Morgan, Executive Chairman, themission said: “The creativity and excellence in website and app design is continuously improving — partly because of rapid advances in technology, but also thanks to the huge amount of passion in the sector. That’s why it is such an honor to celebrate and promote brands that set the industry benchmark with their robust online presence. We’re looking forward to seeing some impressive entries this year.”

The Good Web Guide relishes the task of seeking out winning sites and apps and showcasing them on thegoodwebguide.co.uk. The awards are given out solely on merit.

"Winning the Website of the Year is a real boost to the whole digital team at Biscuiteers. It is wonderful getting the endorsement of others and so very encouraging. I think that one of the main things that's great about themission GWG Awards' judging is the peer recognition from fellow entrepreneurs of our hard work." Harriet Hastings, founder of Biscuiteers

The winning site will win a number of prizes to boost their online presence.
