Best Food Website Trends Detailed in New Report from the Web Marketing Association
West Simsbury, CT (PRWeb) March 26, 2025 -- www.07webaward.org- The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards, released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR) to help the food industry create more effective and engaging websites.
"As the standard of excellence for websites continues to increase, consumers (and WebAward judges) are increasingly picky about what they consider to be an effective website," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association, Inc. "The best food websites are extensions of their offline brands. Using audio and video embedded into the web page creates a cohesive brand experience for the user."
The WebAwards competition judges food websites on seven criteria that combined create award-winning websites:
•
Design
•
Innovation
•
Content
•
Technology
•
Interactivity
•
Copywriting
•
Ease of use
Food industry websites have generally outperformed the overall ISAR Index for web development - beating the index in all years except 1999 and 2000.
Food websites have beaten the 3-year average in each of the seven judging criteria. Food websites are usually well-designed and contain well-written content.
According to the ISAR Study, areas of improvement include innovation and use of technology as these are their lowest scores.
The 2006 WebAward for Best Food Web site went to Publicis Net for Coca Cola BlaK
Other past winners include:
- 2005 These Days & Sara Lee for Jacqmotte Escape
- 2004 Emerald of California
- 2003 Fairytale Brownies for brownies.com
- 2002 Fry, Inc for Hickory Farms
- 2001 Luminant Worldwide for Skittles
A complete list of past winners can be found at food.webaward.org
Companies and organizations wishing to have their food Web site evaluated against the ISAR Index and be considered for a WebAward, which can help boost a Website's credibility and marketing efforts, can learn more at www.07webaward.org.
