The Best of Swiss Web Awards are the most coveted awards for e-business, Internet and mobile projects in Switzerland since 2001. A total of 277 projects were submitted to the jury this year in eight categories. A panel of 80 experts has revealed this year’s winners of the Best of Swiss Web Awards and one of our projects we successfully delivered in 2008, me2me, was awarded twice with this accolade which honours Switzerland’s top websites.
Congratulations go to our partners Liip AG for winning the Master of Swiss Web with their iPhone Application. Gottago is an amazing application and was for long the most popular free app in Switzerland. With open sourcing the project to Transport, Marc took a bold move that deserves every recognition.
The special topic of this year’s award was “Women wired in Web” and I had the pleasure to share a table with Maya and Terry from byteKultur, a women only web and design agency focussing on Joomla based website implementations. Interestingly enough the jury did not find the fact that a bunch of girls with no support from any boys run their own business relying on an open source project and the community worth mentioning. Instead they awarded a larger campaign project that was leveraging a female celebrity and recognized a bunch of submissions with female supporting roles. Hm. If you ever need a small but good piece of design or look for some Joomla experts, got check out byteKultur.net.
me2me was awarded the Best of Swiss Web Technology Innovation Silver Award and the Business Efficiency Bronze Award 2009.
The project was also a nominee for the 2009 Master of Swiss Web.
