Transportation Web Sites Benchmarked in New Internet Study
3 April 2006 Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 3, 2006 -- According to the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR) released by the Web Marketing Association, Transportation Web sites have generally been in line with the overall ISAR Index since 2000, but a slight underperformance since 2004 has resulted in below average results in each of the 3-year criteria averages other than interactivity. Transportation Web sites post the strongest scores in content, copywriting, and interactivity. The ISAR study provides industry benchmarks for Web site development and is based on data collected from 9,748 Web site evaluations in more than 80 industries over the past decade. A copy of the full report can be downloaded at http://www.webaward.org/isar_report.asp.
Since 1997, the Web Marketing Association has been conducting its annual WebAward Competition for Web site development. The Internet Standards Assessment Report is the results of nearly a decade of independent evaluations of Web site development based on seven categories: design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting and ease of use.

Transportation firms wishing to have their Web sites evaluated against the ISAR Index and be considered for a WebAward, which can help boost a Web site's credibility and marketing efforts, can nominate their site at http://www.webawards2006.org.
«Of course, as in every industry, there are transportation Web sites that stand out and others that don't make the grade,» concluded Rice. «Our goal has always been to be more than just a popularity or beauty contest that rewards brand names and good design. Instead, this ISAR study is designed to return some value to every entrant with input as to what Internet professionals should strive for in their Web site development efforts in an objective, empirical and constructive way.»
