Best Insurance Website Trends Detailed in New Report from the Web Marketing Association

West Simsbury, CT (PRWeb) March 16, 2007 -- www.07webaward.org -- The Web Marketing Association, host of leading website awards competition WebAwards, recently released the Internet Standards Assessment Report (ISAR), which includes specific benchmarking data to help insurance industry create more award-winning websites.

"As the standard of excellence for websites continues to increase, web visitors are increasingly picky about what they consider to be effective insurance websites," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association. "Insurance websites going forward will need to find a balance between usability and providing accurate information. By utilizing technology through illustrations and animations, the same message can be disseminated more efficiently."

The WebAwards competition evaluates insurance websites on seven criteria that combined create effective websites:
•    Design
•    Innovation
•    Content
•    Technology
•    Interactivity
•    Copywriting
•    Ease of use

The latest ISAR Index indicates that insurance web sites have generally under-performed the overall ISAR Index for the past seven of ten years. The under performance is also evident in the 3-year criteria averages where insurance Web sites lag behind the overall averages in every category.

Insurance websites perform about average in terms of content and copywriting as compared to x.

According to the ISAR Study, insurance web sites typically lag in innovation and use of technology, due in part to the conservative nature of the industry and heavy regulation.

The 2006 WebAward for Best Insurance Website went to Blue Shield of California.

Other past WebAwards Insurance Web site winners include:
- 2005 Internet Communications for Medical Mutual - Ohio's Get-Well CardTM
- 2004 Graficalnter.active for Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey
- 2003 Empire BlueCross BlueShield
- 2002 Progressive Insurance
- 2001 Modem Media for John Hancock eVariable Life
- 2000 BBDS Interactive for Country Companies
- 1999 AGENCY.COM for AceLimited
- 1998 Arkwright Mutual Insurance Co. for SmartSite for Managing Risk
