Company Spotlight FAQ
What is a Company Spotlight on Web Design Awards?

A Company Spotlight is a sponsored editorial feature that places your company across the Web Design Awards site - homepage, articles, nominee pages, and the Top Agencies index - for either two or four weeks, whether you are an agency, a studio, a design tool, or a brand. It is positioned as an editorial profile, not a banner ad, so visitors engage with it like the rest of the gallery.

What is included in each Spotlight package?

Both packages include a homepage spotlight, site-wide mentions on articles and nominee pages, pinned placement on relevant category and tag pages, an editorial Q&A on the Top Agencies page, and social posts. The 4-Week Spotlight adds a newsletter feature in the next send, more social touchpoints, and a permanent spotlight archive permalink for evergreen discovery.

How fast can my Spotlight go live?

As soon as you choose. Setup is self-serve: after checkout you get a setup link, upload your logo and hero image, add services and client logos, then pick any open start date on the live availability calendar. The spotlight publishes automatically on that date, so you can also schedule ahead to line up with a launch.

How much does a Company Spotlight cost?

The 2-Week Spotlight is $495 as a one-time campaign. The 4-Week Spotlight is $1,125 and includes the newsletter feature, additional social touchpoints, and an evergreen archive permalink. Both are paid up front at checkout, with no recurring billing.

Can I upgrade from the 2-Week to the 4-Week Spotlight later?

Yes. You can upgrade from 2-Week to 4-Week at any time during your campaign by paying the difference. The upgrade extends the homepage spotlight window and unlocks the newsletter feature, additional social posts, and the spotlight archive permalink.

Do you write the editorial profile, or do I provide the copy?

You provide it. The setup form takes your tagline, bio, logo, hero image, optional services, and client logos or headline stats, and you preview the exact card before you schedule it. The layout and the placements across the site are handled for you, so the spotlight sits natively in the gallery.

Where exactly will my company appear on Web Design Awards?

Your company appears in homepage spotlight modules, on the Top Agencies page as a polished editorial profile, on relevant category and tag pages, and inside articles and nominee pages as a site-wide mention. 4-Week Spotlights also receive a feature in the next newsletter send.

Who is a Company Spotlight a good fit for?

Any company that wants concentrated visibility in front of designers, recruiters, and creative directors: digital agencies and web design studios, but also design and development tools, SaaS products, and brands that serve the design community. It is positioned as a credibility signal, not a generic ad slot, so it suits teams pushing a launch, hiring round, or new positioning.
