2007 WebAward Winner
One of the sites I helped build has won a 2007 WebAward from the Web Marketing Association.
The site for San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts won an Outstanding Website award, recognizing “work above and beyond the standard of excellence.” WebAwards were also won by six other sites created by POP.
Here is the team from POP that worked on the site:
Account Director: Jennifer Showe
Designer: Brad Holst
Information Architect: Minoru Uchida
Flash Designer: Dave Curry
Flash Designer: Aaron Hedquist
Web Developer: Spencer Sundell
Software Developer: Keith Richardson
My own work included interface integration with the online ticketing application, creation of page templates (XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, images) and related documentation used by YBCA’s internal web staff for migrating their content to the new site, a fair amount of content migration of our own, and related tasks. The site also uses a little sIFR dynamic font replacement.
It’s a beautiful design and I’m pretty proud to have worked on it, though I do wish I could have optimized a few things a little further (like the olde school legacy markup on the event calendar).
Congratulations to the team at POP, and to the folks at YBCA.
The other POP sites that won 2007 WebAwards are listed below — mad props to everyone who worked on those:
- Brown-Forman - Best Investor Relations Website
- Tully’s Coffee - Beverage Standard of Excellence
- Red Steel - Game Site Standard of Excellence
- Little Palm Island Resort & Spa - Hotel and Lodging Standard of Excellence
- New Super Mario Bros. - Outstanding Website
- Robbins Company - Outstanding Website
