SimpleTuition Earns Excellence Award for Second Year in Web Marketing
Association’s WebAward Competition
Honored for ‘Standard of Excellence’
Awards in Both Education and Financial Services Categories for the
Second Consecutive Year
NEWTON, Mass. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) September 24, 2008 --
SimpleTuition, Inc., the leading student loan comparison site for
personalized student loan research, today announced it has been honored
with two Standard of Excellence WebAwards for its website development
for the second consecutive year. The SimpleTuition website was
recognized in both the education and financial services categories of
the Web Marketing Association’s annual
WebAwards competition where websites compete head to head with other
sites within their industry.
Across both the education and financial services categories,
SimpleTuition consistently scored 8’s and 9’s
out of 10. In fact, judges complimented the site by saying, "Overall
this site is well planned, organized and easy to manage with all of the
different options for audiences, and confusion that already exists
around the subject matter.”
Founded in 1997 to help set a high standard for Internet marketing and
development of the best websites on the World Wide Web, the Web
Marketing Association’s annual WebAward
competition is now in its 12th year. The WebAwards is the premier annual
website award competition that names the best websites while setting the
standard of excellence for all website development. This year
nominations were received from 2,400 sites from 45 countries in 96
industry categories. Entries were evaluated on design, copy writing,
innovation, content, interactivity, navigation, and use of technology.
The competition was judged by a team of independent Internet
professionals representing a variety of website development disciplines.
Judges included members of the media, advertising executives, site
designers, creative directors, corporate marketing executives, content
providers and webmasters.
“Our product and engineering team has been
working to update and refine the SimpleTuition website to make it easier
to use and offer more choices for families looking for student loans,”
said Kevin Walker, CEO of SimpleTuition, Inc. “The
WebAward recognition highlights the dedication and accomplishments of
this team, and reinforces the breadth of information available for
families in an easy to use format.”
SimpleTuition’s interactive approach to
researching, comparing and selecting federal and private student loans
at SimpleTuition.com
enables borrowers to make more informed decisions about borrowing
options. Detailed information on Stafford, private, certified private,
PLUS, and GradPLUS loans from dozens of available top lenders is
constantly updated – a big and valuable
challenge in this summer’s dynamic financial
market environment. Each loan option can be sorted and compared by
monthly payment, total cost of the loan, number of payments, fees, and
lowest and highest APR. No personally identifiable information or credit
scoring is required.
