CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- GetSmart.com was honored with the 2007 Outstanding Achievement in Web Site Development Award for Financial Services for its re-design of the GetSmart.com Web site. GetSmart.com, a unit of LendingTree, LLC, is a marketplace that quickly and easily matches borrowers with a network of more than 200 lenders.
Founded in 1997 by the Web Marketing Association to help set high standards for Internet marketing and development, the WebAwards is an internationally-recognized competition that provides a benchmark for marketing and design. Now in its 11th year, the WebAwards is the premier annual Web site awards competition that names the best Web sites in 96 industries while setting the standard of excellence for all Web site development.
The new GetSmart.com site, with its welcoming colors, simple interface and streamlined navigation system, makes it easier for users to find information about refinance, mortgage and home equity loans. It also introduced company mascot Smarty-Pants(TM), a friendly icon who serves as the "host" of the GetSmart.com Resource Center. This whimsical visual element serves an important purpose: Smarty-Pants guides visitors towards resources, valuable tips, and actionable items from a collection of helpful articles, glossary of lending terms and personal finance calculators.
Said Keith Moore, general manager of GetSmart.com, "We're thrilled to be recognized for our ongoing efforts to keep the GetSmart.com site fresh and fun. Our mission at GetSmart is to take the hassle out of financial comparison shopping, and this award is a validation that our Web design and development strategy is helping us to achieve our goal."
