HOBOKEN,NJ — May 2, 2013—The 17th Annual Webby Awards recognizes Inflexion Interactive alongside BostonGlobe.com and JetBlue.com as an Official Honoree Visual Design-Function for their groundbreaking work designing and developing the DAngelicoGuitars.com website.
Hailed as the “Internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times, The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. The IADAS, which nominates and selects The Webby Award Winners, is comprised of web industry experts, including media mogul Arianna Huffington, Skype CEO Tony Bates, Mozilla CEO and Chair Mitchell Baker, Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom, mobile-phone inventor Martin Cooper, and StumbleUpon founder Garrett Camp.
“This Webby Awards Official Honoree designation acknowledges talent in design and functionality,” says Scott Delea, Managing Partner of Inflexion Interactive. “To be recognized for both visual design and the latest in usability affirms our dedication to creating sites that both look outstanding and function well in our mobile-driven world.”
D’Angelico Guitars, the Edison, NJ-based maker of handcrafted archtop guitars for some of the world’s best musicians, shares this Official Honoree recognition with BostonGlobe.com, a website that’s earned critical acclaim for its responsive design, and JetBlue.com, a website that’s produced a clean, simple and smart booking system.
“Both distributors and customers have told me how much they enjoy the website,” says Brenden Cohen, CEO of D’Angelico Guitars. “It’s allowed us to expand our brand online with four classic archtop reissues, including the Limited Edition USA Masterbuilt Series.”
The website design included Parallax-style scrolling to let visitors move effortlessly through the on-screen content. HTML5, AJAX and JavaScript techniques were used to build the most adaptive website possible. A mobile version has been launched, as well.
“Honorees like Inflexion Interactive are setting the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet,” said David-Michel Davies, Executive Director of The Webby Awards. “It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the 11,000 entries we received this year.”
