Drexel’s new website, designed by Virginia-based firm NavigationArts, won a Webby Award for Best Education website at the 17th Annual Webby Awards.
Hailed as the “Internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times, The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. In designing Drexel’s website, NavigationArts used “responsive design” to engage students, no matter their location or device.
“Honorees like NavigationArts are setting the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet,” said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. “It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the 11,000 entries we received this year.”
