AMTA Web Site Receives Standard of Excellence WebAward

Evanston, IL – The American Massage Therapy Association Web site has won the “Standard of Excellence” WebAward from the Web Marketing Association (WMA).  This award recognizes the standard of excellence for which all corporate Web sites strive.    

The WebAward competition acknowledges the individual and team achievement of Web professionals who create and maintain outstanding Web sites.  The judges are made up from Internet marketing, advertising, PR and design professionals from around the country who are committed to improving the quality of Web sites.  Each WebAward entry is judged against a standard of excellence and against other entries in their category.  Entries are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting and ease of use. 

"The American Massage Therapy Association is honored by this WebAward given by the Web Marketing Association” said Dan Hickey, Web site Communications Program Manager.  “It's rewarding to know that our recent redesign and other improvements to the Web site are being acknowledged by this award”.

The WMA was created to help set high standards for Internet marketing and Web development.  This is the ninth year of the WebAwards.  The AMTA Web site is featured on the Web Marketing Association Web site with an icon link announcing the winners.  AMTA’s Web site has won this award in past years but this is the first award the AMTA Web site has been given since its redesign. 

The American Massage Therapy Association, with over 53,000 members, works to advance the profession through ethics and standards, public education and the promotion of fair and consistent licensing of massage therapists in all 50 states.  The association serves its members while advancing the art, science and practice of massage therapy.
