Deeson Online twice nominated as an Acquia Partner of The Year Finalist
We're really proud to announce that we've had not one, but two of our sites nominated in Acquia’s 2014 Partner Site of the Year Awards: Torch Partners is a Finalist in the Financial Services category, while Evidence Based Intervention Programme (EBIP) made the final cut in the Internal Community group.
Our client sites are one of 100 across 15 categories, all submitted by Acquia’s digital agency partners. Acquia executives then whittled it down to 44 Finalists, assessing each site on visual design, functionality, integration and overall customer experience. Quite a task!
Our nominated sites
Financial Services
Torch Partners is a fully responsive, clean, open site that isn't cluttered with unnecessary, cumbersome 'whizz-bang' features. Instead, we created an informative yet easy-to-navigate offering that reflects the fresh character of Torch Partners itself.
And we're in excellent company in this category: D'M&S NV has Brocom as their nomination, while VML is up for their site U.S. Bank
Internal Community
The Evidence Based Intervention Programme (EBIP) platform is backed by King’s College and UK Government Department of Education.
The aim of EBIP is to carry out national research into social work programmes. Before Deeson Online became involved, EBIP had six separate sites, with additional member-only access. We brought these sites together in a central hub while still retaining their distinct identity.
Pronovix's Saïd Business School and VML's Berkshire Hathaway Home Services join us in this category - both very strong contenders. And we're not alone in thinking this.
"This year's submissions really raised the bar," says Joe Wykes, vice president of global channels at Acquia.
"These finalists are driving the future of digital, creating Drupal-powered sites with elegant design and seamless connections to commerce and multimedia."
When will we know?
We, along with all other finalists, are really proud about our nominations, and we look forward to June 2 when Tim Deeson MD will be attending Acquia Partner Day at DrupalCon Austin where winners will be announced.
