Dentistry awards special: The heart of it

Dentistry Awards 2010: the launch

All smiles at Private Dentistry Award

Dentist hails a cab for patients

We're pleased to be able to officially announce the winners of the Website Awards 2008, sponsored by Dental Focus Web Design.

It's evident that websites are now essential marketing tools for dentists and practices already utilising them are reaping the rewards.

The quality of entries this year has been spectacular and massively exceeded our expectations. This meant that in many cases it was almost too close to call between entries and this is testament to the excellent standard received. Well done to all those that participated and winner or not, you can be very proud of your achievement.

Remember that there is one further award that isn't being announced today – The Best Overall Website. This award will be announced and received by the winner on stage at the prestigious Dentistry Awards on 12 December. All entries below will have the chance of winning this award. For more information about the Dentistry Awards please click here.

Comments

Oh dear - yet again we see websites that don't validate and fail DDA accessibilty standards appearing in the awards. Over a hundred validation errors in the top three sites alone. Why are "designers" continuing to peddle ill-coded work like this which clearly doesn't serve their clients' best interests? Not very professional at all.
Get a grip guys - these sites are for professional people, not hobby sites knocked-up in ten minutes in the bedroom......
For anyone wanting a new site built, please check that your designer knows what they are doing and make sure to ask about web standards and accessibilty. It's very much in your interest to do so.

I attended the awards in Leicester on Friday and it was fantastic - Kriss Akabusi definitely kept everyone awake and the gymnastic performances were amazing! Well done !

Did Kriss spot that the website awards were particularly amusing? Top praise for poor work - worrying and most unprofessional.
