Crowne Plaze Times Square Manhattan Receives Top Industry Prize at 2013 WebAwards
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 16, 2013 -- Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan took home the top hospitality industry prize for the 2013 WebAwards, which celebrates digital innovation, functionality, and creativity in today’s fast evolving age. The NYC midtown hotel’s website has unique design across mobile, tablet, and desktop, offering ease of use and stunning visuals.
The new site was designed by HeBS Digital, a full-service digital hotel marketing firm in New York City. The website uses responsive design on the server side (RESS) to enable a robust three-screen presence on desktop, tablet, and mobile platforms, as well as the industry’s leading Content Management System, the CMS Premium, providing innovative website architecture and ultra-fast download speeds.
Visuals on the site showcase the hotel’s beautifully appointed accommodations and sharp public spaces, as well as the vivid experience of staying in Times Square. The image-leaning design allows the hotel to highlight its assets while also underscoring these components with informative and contextual copy.
“This website is an accurate reflection of our guest experience,” said Geoffrey Mills, Managing Director. “The photos and copy tell visitors what to expect, while the functionality of the site promises a seamless process from browsing to booking. The onsite stay at Crowne Plaza Times Square is just as seamless.”
The WebAwards are hosted annually by the Web Marketing Association, founded in 1997 to help set a high standard for Internet marketing and development of the best websites on the World Wide Web.
