We are honored to have you as our guest and our desire is that you feel safe, secure and find items of interest during your tour through our pages.

You are now taking the first step towards either surfing through one of the most comprehensive award assessment web sites available or having your web site objectively assessed (this meaning our assessors judgments are based on observable phenomena and are uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices) by our assessment team members your having made the right decision in choosing us to assess your web site on its merits in line with our criteria.

Our staff are not professionals either in the fields of web design or web site assessment; we are self taught and have been through the many struggles that all amateur web site creators face day after day as they strive to produce the best web sites they can. We never forget our 'web site origins' and over time, we have set our own standards to be applied within this award program.
