celebrating websites and apps

We start our days online and sign off at night but are we getting the most out of the web and what it has to offer? The Good Web Guide set up its Awards’ programme to address this, "celebrating websites and apps" that help people streamline their lives, whether it’s for sending a personalised card, booking a holiday or to learn something new.

The eagerly anticipated themission Good Web Guide Awards celebrate sites with these attributes, the ones we return to time and time again. This year is more exciting than ever with many exceptional websites entering, from internationally established sites to grass roots startups. The prestigious judging panel includes Whitney Bromberg Hawkings of FLOWERBX, Holly Tucker, co-founder of Not On The High Street, Nick Lisher of NextDoor and Lex Deak of Pia, the AI powered comparison site for investment and savings products, among others.

Whilst some entries have not reached the final stages, each and every website entry is valued with many taking part in the weekly interview series, Shine The Spotlight.
