Created by the Interactive Media Council, Inc., a nonprofit organization of leading web designers, developers, programmers, advertisers and other web-related professionals, the IMAs recognize the highest standards of excellence in website design and development. The competition is designed to elevate the standards of excellence on the Internet.<\/p>\n

In the university category, the Clark site also came in just shy of a perfect score (494 out of 500), based on a system that judged design, content, feature functionality, usability and standards compliance.<\/p>\n

The Clark site redesign was overseen by Paula David, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, and Pennie Turgeon, Vice President of Information Technology. Developed in partnership with Connective DX<\/a>, Acquia<\/a> and KWALL<\/a>, the site redesign was launched in March 2016.<\/p>\n

Other recent recognitions for Clark’s website include a Gold Award<\/a> in the 2017 Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District I Excellence Awards; “Best in Higher Education” 2016 Acquia Engage Award<\/a>; and the Silver Award for Institutional Website in the competitive Higher Ed Marketing Report’s Educational Advertising Awards.<\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
