A Golden Web Award is presented to sites whose Web design, originality and content have achieved levels of excellence deserving of recognition. According to the association, this award adds credibility to the professional standing of a Web designer.

"What makes these sites worthy of such an award is how they were initially conceptualized," said Tony Asbrock, senior site developer at Goldleaf Technologies. "It's extremely important to site design that our plans fit the communications strategy of the customer and the demographics of the viewer. Everything has to be geared to a specific area and target market primarily community bankers."

"We needed our Web site revised in a very short amount of time, but we also wanted a Web design that reflected our bank's commitment to service, innovation and the customer base we work so hard to assist," said Sheila Brumley, chief financial officer at Mt. Rainier National Bank. "Goldleaf's attention to detail and customer-focused platform made all the difference in delivering a dynamic, multi-layered site that represents Mt.

Bankers select Goldleaf because they know we are their partners from the beginning and because our relationship never ends. They can call us long after the Web site has gone live. We become their web department."
