The Bright Design Site of The Week Award
As a web design and SEO agency, we come across lots of different websites every day, many of which are designed beautifully, built inspirationally, or optimised perfectly – and we don’t want to let that excellent work go uncelebrated.
That’s why we began the Site of The Week Competition: so that we could give due merit to those web designers, developers and SEO’s out there who are already doing an exceptional job for their company or personal websites.
This page will be updated every week with the latest Site of The Week Winner, along with each week’s runner up who will receive the Commendation Award from our team. You can also keep up to date with the Site of The Week competition on our social feeds or by following #SOTW on Twitter.
The competition is judged every Monday morning where our team will each put forward a site found as we’ve navigated the web the week before, and along with any other sites nominated by you, judge and vote for a winner.
How we judge the Site of the Week Competition
The winning website is decided on a number of factors:
– Unique features
– Website layout and overall design
– User journey
– User experience
– Site navigation
– Site structure
– Website tone and feel and its effectiveness with relation to use/and or brand
– Use of colour
– Interactive features
– Website speed
– Keyword optimised content
– Other on-site optimisation
These are just some of the factors our team take into account when deciding on a Site of The Week Winner. However, we also take into account the size of the company/organisation and give more weighting to smaller companies or budgets, since doing a good job on these budgets is a difficult task – and one that we too know well that’s why we believe that every website, no matter what the size, deserves its fair share of credit.
Announcing the Site of The Week Winner
The winner is then usually announced on our Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn on Monday afternoon, and shall be added to our Site of The Week Hall of Fame below. If you are a Site of The Week Winner or Runner Up, you may claim your Bright Design Site of The Week Winner or Commendation Badge, respectively. You may publish this badge on your website or any of your promotional materials, providing the badge links back to the Bright Design website or this page.
Claiming your Site of The Week Winner or Commendation Badge

Then feel free to use it wherever you like to promote the good work you’re doing, and link back to this page* so that your readers or customers can see your name on our Hall of Fame!
We have a range of badges available to suit your website, from our classic Bright Design orange, to greyscale to simple black and white. In your email let us know if you’d like all three or if you’d prefer just one specific colour.
