Refreshed are proud to have been awarded two Outstanding Achievement awards in recognition for their ‘Building/Construction' work in producing websites for McCarthy and Stone and Celestia on behalf of Redrow Homes.

Created by the Interactive Media Council, Inc., the IMA recognise the highest standards of excellence in website design and development and honour individuals and organisations for their outstanding achievement. Judges evaluate websites based on five criteria including design, usability, innovation in technical features, standards compliance and content.

The 2007 competition saw over 20 entries from 26 countries around the world. Refreshed won the judges vote for innovative features on the McCarthy and Stone website, which has been developed with functionality and usability in mind. The site also incorporates specialised features including integrated Google mapping, interactive floor plans and CSS light box techniques.

The judges were also impressed with key features of the Redrow Homes, Celestia site including an interactive apartment advisor and "recommend a friend" functionality.

Refreshed Media, began as a two person operation in 2003 and has today grown to four offices in the UK including Manchester, Reigate and Edinburgh with a team of 30 employees.

Simon Melaniphy Managing Director of Refreshed Media said - "The IMA awards recognise organisations responsible for developing some of the most effective and best web sites online today. Digital marketing is a discipline that begs its creators to be innovative, and we have more than delivered on both websites for McCarthy and Stone and 'Celestia' on behalf of Redrow Homes, one of the largest house builders in the UK.''

Simon continues ‘‘2007 is proving to be an exciting year for Refreshed Media, our team is growing from strength to strength, we are also preparing to move to bigger premises and these two awards prove that our success is being recognised by the online media world.''
