Caktus Group Wins Two Communicator Awards for Web Design
Durham, NC (PRWEB) April 30, 2015 -- Caktus Group, the nation’s largest Django web application firm, recently received recognition for its design excellence on the PyCon 2015 website. The Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts awarded Caktus two 2015 Communicator Awards: Gold Award of Excellence in Event Websites and a Silver Award of Distinction in Visual Appeal. The Communicator Awards, with over 6000 international entries, is considered the largest and most competitive awards program honoring creative excellence for communications professionals.
“We’re very proud of the team and what they were able to accomplish. It’s wonderful that the judges of such prestigious awards found our work compelling,” said Colin Copeland, Caktus Group Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer. “The award also is a great nod to the efforts of the PyCon 2015 organizers. It’s fantastic for PyCon to be in the company of other large brands such as the Canadian Olympic Team, Lexus, and Red Hat.”
The PyCon 2015 website, built on behalf of the Python Software Foundation, supports the largest annual gathering for the open-source Python programming language. With a bright, clean, and playful modernism, the colorful stripes allude to both Python and the event’s venue, the Palais des Congrès de Montréal. The team working on the site included Trevor Ray (Designer), Rebecca Muraya (Developer), David Ray (Developer), and Ben Riseling (Project Manager).
