The Pro Plaster Products website has been shortlisted for the 2008 McFarlane Prize for excellence in Australian web design. Congratulations to our dedicated web designers Propeller Global and thank you for building our site to such a high standard.
Named in memory of noted Australian web pioneer Nigel McFarlane, the McFarlane Prize aims to recognize and encourage excellence in web design by Australian web professionals.
The McFarlane Prize is awarded by a jury of Australian experts in various fields of web design and development. The decision process has two stages.
In the first stage, entries are assessed for their adherence to best practices in accessibility and standards based coding (correct and valid use of CSS and HTML). These criteria are outlined in detail here.
The top 15 sites from this phase will be individually assessed in four areas by members of the jury who have expertise in a particular area. These areas are accessibility, usability, design, and coding.
Based on the two rounds of judging, the McFarlane Prize shortlist will be announced on September 22nd.
The announcement of the winner of the inaugural McFarlane Prize will be made at the Web Directions Conference, September 25th 2008.
This year’s shortlist (in alphabetical order) includes:
August Creative Agency by August
Billy Hughes at War for the Old Parliament House, by IceLab
Citizen Watches by CKWeb Technologies
