Awarding websites since June of 2000, The Favourite Website Awards (The FWA) is an abundantly astonishing accumulation of some of the best websites the world has ever seen. They describe themselves as, “An industry recognized award program and inspirational portal”. Designers and developers, from around the world, submit sites to be subjected to the assiduous scrutiny of The FWA’s varied panel of judges. The aspiring end, is the prestigious FWA website award, added web-traffic, and the glory and honor accompanying it. Design, navigation, graphics, content, and personality are the various criteria, which each site is judged against. Design however, carries a weighty forty-percent of the overall assessment, thus lending themselves to the design-forward collection of works they have become.
The FWA has curated some of the most imaginative and meticulously creative sites I have ever seen. It is fascinating to view some of the archived awarded sites and compare them, for they have an entire decade of winners at your disposal. The internet has come a long way from the simple HTML pages, rendering mostly text and images. Websites today are considerably more complex, having varied technologies including Flash, Java Script, Plugins, HTML, and others; they resemble applications once only realized on the desktop operating system.
To promote The FWA, designers from around the world are commissioned to design unique and inspiring desktop wallpaper for your computer, available for download. While The FWA logo is a common denominator in each of these pieces, the various designers and artists share their design direction and voicing, impeccably illustrated in these stupendous works. All of the designs are available for download in a myriad of sizes, appropriate for your particular monitor resolution. Additionally, this is a free service that The FWA provides for their visitors and junkies. I like to think of them as an added little bonus. Below is a sampling of some my favorite pieces. Enjoy!
