Our Methodology

Recognition built on real review.

Every plan ultimately feeds the same Web Design Awards ecosystem: human review, public recognition, and assets your team can keep using after launch.

Human-led judging

Industry experts review submissions instead of automated scoring models or generic checklists.

Monthly ranking and award pipeline

Nominated sites remain eligible for monthly scoring, visibility, and award recognition.

Promotion beyond the checkout

Badges, certificates, social promotion, backlinks, and agency connections keep working after submission.

What stays included

Permanent award archive

Every nomination receives a dedicated page and backlink that continues to build authority long after submission.

Story-driven promotion

Winning sites are featured across our social channels and newsletter to drive new attention to your work.

Launch-ready assets

Downloadable badges, certificates, and copy help you promote wins without starting from scratch.

Support for growing teams

Agency accounts connect nominations, credit collaborators, and scale recognition across your entire portfolio.

Rushed judging

Acceleration without shortcuts

Rush judging changes response time, not standards. Your work is still evaluated against the same award criteria and published into the same ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common pricing questions.

What does the submission fee include?
The $49 fee covers a review by industry experts, a permanent listing with a backlink, promotion on our social channels, and a digital certificate for winners.
Can I submit more than one website?
Yes. Each site requires its own $49 submission, but you can submit as many websites as you like.
Do you offer refunds if my site is not selected?
The submission fee is non-refundable since the review is performed whether or not your site wins an award.
How long does the review process take?
Timing depends on the submission path. Rushed judging is completed within 48 hours, while standard nominations receive email updates as they move through review and publication.
Can I update my submission after paying?
If you need to change details, contact support within 24 hours of submitting and we'll help update your entry.
Will my site stay listed if it does not win?
Absolutely. Every submission receives a permanent listing with a backlink, regardless of whether it wins an award.
