STOCKTON, Calif., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Recordnet.com, a news website based in Stockton, CA and serving the greater Central Valley has won 1st place for Best Site Architecture and Overall Design and 2nd place for Best Overall News Site from Suburban Newspaper of America.
"The main story preview is a very nice feature. The site is very well organized. It is very easy to navigate and the navigation keeps going deeper, not long down. It has a lot of content presented in a very pleasant way without clutter. The site has a big amount of content, everything from news, to user interaction to multimedia," said one of the judges for the contest.
The judge continued by saying "I liked the very useful and easy to use top navigation. Each section keeps the original style, the site stays consistent and everything is perfectly organized within the individual sections. It's a detailed and excellent work of information structure. I liked many of the features of the site. I liked that it makes use of many technological features but keeps a very clean look. I like the photo at the header, making reference to the area. It has a perfect balance of text, images, ads and content."
"Nice-looking site, with the latest stories clearly marked. My favorite part, though, is the "Your Town" functionality, which enables users to drill down to more localized content with the latest stories, again, clearly marked. Being able to toggle over to "most clicked" is nice, too," said a second judge.
"We are very pleased to win the awards and we will continually work hard to enhance our website to better serve our viewers and our communities," said Roger Coover, President and Publisher of San Joaquin Media Group (SJMG) which publishes The Record newspaper & Recordnet.com. "We have the vision of delivering the best online experience for our viewers. These awards solidify our position as the de facto standard for our local online market," said Peter Kim, SJMG Internet Director.
