The Best Hotel and Lodging Website Award is given to only one site in each industry. The new Red Lion Hotel Corporation brand site – www.redlion.com – earned the honor for its exceptional visuals and design, content and innovative technology and functionality. The site received a perfect score of 70 out of a possible 70 points, compared to the industry average of 51 out of 70.
"Stunning visuals, modern design, clear calls to action, original content, and a bit of innovation,” said a WebAwards judge, referring to RedLion.com. “This is what an award-winning web site should be. Well done!"
HeBS Digital received the following awards:
Best Website – Hotel and Lodging:
Outstanding Website – Hotel and Lodging:
Standard of Excellence – Hotel and Lodging:
Each site is judged on seven criteria, earning a score between 0 and 70 points, according to feedback received from WebAwards 2015 judges. The website that earns the highest score in a given category wins Best Website in that particular industry. If any remaining entry scores 60 or greater, it receives the Outstanding Website WebAward. Entries receive the Standard of Excellence WebAward with scores above the average of their industry but below 60 points.
“We knew the website was achieving what we set out to accomplish, which was to capture the attention of potential guests and to simplify the booking process,” said RLHC Chief Marketing Officer Bill Linehan. “We also knew the site had to be as functional as it is visual. To receive this level of recognition is gratifying and reinforces we are on the right track.”
