CSS World Awards Winners 2006

The first CSS World Awards. Websites submitted to CSS Mania from May 2005 to May 2006

Why CSS World Awards?. To recognize the work done by developers that build websites using CSS. To heighten the awareness of the companies using Web Standards.

Friday Jul 07, 2006 · Filed under: Winners

The announcement day is here. First of all, we would like to say THANKS to the judges, sponsors and the high level in terms of nominees that we think have been high. That's why we had to apply different rules to award some sites that were tied.

For the next year we will work harder and better with all your help, the valuable help from our visitors.

Scoring criteria for the winners in each category

Each member of the judges has chosen the 3 websites they considered the best in each category:

1º position in each category - 3 points

2º position in each category - 2 points

3º position in each category - 1 point

Criteria to untie websites in each category

Due to some websites having same score and to the multiple ties by category, CSS Mania has set 5 criterias.

(A). If there are tied websites in terms of points, the untied website will be the one that has received more first positions (3 points) in that category from the judges.

(B). If there are still tied websites, the untied website will be the one that has been awarded more times in other categories.

(C). If there are still tied websites, we will add the points that websites have obtained in other categories.

(D). If there are still tied websites, we will analyze validation errors from the screenshot URL in CSS Manía.

(E). If there are still tied websites, it will be "ex aequo". That's why we will really have tied websites in the same place and the award will go to both of them.

Terrific! The more awards for designers and companies alike to aspire to with respect to clean design and standards-based mark-up is a benefit to the entire community.

Congrats to Alex and CSS Beauty -- well deserved.

All I can say is "Damn!"

I'm the admin for Concept Technical Group, and it's great to see that the website has won 3rd place.

Thanks to all that voted!

Great awards, and congratulations to the winners. These sites are really the best on the web.

5. dandyna ~ Jul 22, 2006 | 09:08H:

congrats guy, you fully deserve those awards. To be a little picky, I would prever to avoid giving double prizes in different categories, just to leave space to someone else instead of the same old gurus :) but this is just my opinion. Yay for winners and for non winners.

Hey guys! I just wanted to say that you did good job.
Good luck in the next year ;)

7. Marinak ~ Sep 30, 2006 | 11:28H:

Great sites! Perfect job.

I quite disagree with some of the awards. For example, if you increase the text size in the Zoka Coffee site everything goes bad.
What is the purpose of CSS design if the user cannot do things like that?
