About the Indonesia Website Awards
The Indonesia Website Awards is an annual program initiated by Exabytes. This event is dedicated to appreciating Digital Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia. Its goal is to support the development of the digital economy and acknowledge the performance of Web Developers and Web Designers.
Rigorous Judging Standards
To achieve a title at the IWA, a website must undergo a very strict curation process. The assessment does not only consider visual appeal; judges also evaluate the technological foundation, database performance, and interactive interface.
Indra Hartawan, Country Manager of Exabytes Indonesia, emphasized that the evaluation standards in this competition are maintained professionally. The selection of winners for each IWA award involves 15 professional judges, all experts in their fields. Aspects evaluated include design, effective Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and smooth website performance.
