Web Design Firm Wins Prestigious Award

Web design company awarded for dramatic revamp of non-profit website that boosts group’s image and donors. 

 January 2012, Florida—PaperStreet Web Design has won the Interactive Media Awards Best in Class award for a non-profit website dedicated to improving healthcare in the third-world country of Haiti.

The website, http://www.projectmedishare.org/, achieved an overall score of 487 out of 500, marking it as one of the leading non-profit sites out of more than 200 entries. [Check out PaperStreet’s portfolio of other non-profit web designs and charity web designs.]

The Interactive Media Awards judges rated the website on five criteria—design, content, feature functionality, usability, and standards compliance and cross-browser compatibility. On not one of them did the nonprofit Project Medishare website score less than 90. In fact, on two areas—content and feature functionality—Project Medishare scored a perfect 100.

Project Medishare’s new website has threefold goals:

• To boost the nonprofit’s authority through a sophisticated design and better display of its track record and commitment;
• To increase donations and medical volunteers; and
• To differentiate Project Medishare from agencies that do not share its on-the-ground focus and years of experience.

Specifically, the website has easy-to-understand navigation, incorporates multimedia, provides concrete examples of the benefits of donation, and is well-integrated with social media.

The website skillfully balanced appealing to medical professionals, businesses and foundations, government agencies and grant providers, as well as the general public. Members of each group can easily find information suited to their concerns, along with reports on the tragic conditions in Haiti and how their money, time, networking skills, or resources can help.
